FFXIV Miner guide
0FFXIV Miner
Miners excavate and handle Eorzea’s minerals in all forms, whether it’s ores, precious stones, or fossils. Blacksmiths and Goldsmiths eagerly wait for what the Miners were able to gather.
Miners don’t just dig anywhere. They mastered techniques such as how to properly prospect the minutest deposits and large-scale civil engineering. They believe in the theory of continental drift and worship Oshon, the Wanderer. Their primary tool is the Pickaxe, although they can also use Knapping and Hammer.

FFXIV Miner Skills
A Final fantasy 14 guide about Miners is not complete without tackling their various skills. It is common knowledge that Miners are excellent stone throwers but not everyone knows that they can debilitate enemies through mineral compositions.
Miner Gathering Skills
There are two Gathering Skills that Miners can use in the game. These are:
Earthen Favor – This increases the Miner’s chance to locate rare items when gathering.
Sharp Vision – This increases the Miner’s chance to acquire rare items while gathering.
Miner Passive Skills
Miners also have Passive mode Actions to maximize the amount of resources they can gather. These are the following:
Lay of the Land – Miner surveys the landscape to find the location of Grade 1 mineral deposits.
King Yield – Miner is allowed to gather multiple items from a single yield. This randomly activates when one starts mining a mineral deposit.
Beastkin Eluder – Miner temporarily avoid encounters from Beastkins.

Miner Battle Skills
To complete this Final Fantasy 14 Guide on Miners, we now have the different Battle Actions that Miners can use. These actions can be used to fend off attacks from enemies lurking near mineral deposits. The two Miner Battle Actions are:
Stone Throw – Miner throws a rock at the enemy. It only inflicts minimal damage because Disciplines of the Hand have no Attack attribute. The damage done can be modified by strength. When used after Wrist Flick, Stone Throw can stun the target.
Final Fantasy 14 Beta – Miner – Mining
This video was Recorded during beta 3in FFXIV. The miner gets the running speed boost at the start of the video thanks to the mining ability prospect. The mining Ability prospect gives you a short movement speed increase as long as you are not near any mining point(I am guessing to reach the mines faster 
). Once you find a spot to mine, mining becomes like a hot and cold mini game. Miners can also share points this time, unlike FFXI. – By MithraTales

Roegadyn
2FFXIV Roegadyn Class
The Lore
For the Roegadyn, size does matter. They are maritime folks who travelled from the northern seas until they arrived at Eorzea. Though they remained ruthless, they managed to find jobs in the realm that are suitable for their innate characteristics. Most Roegadyn in Eorzea are males because the women were left behind.
At first glance, you’ll notice that they have enormous, muscular builds. Roedagyn are the largest and most rugged among the races in Eorzea as stated in the Final fantasy 14 guide. They are brawny and can easily intimidate other. As a whole, the Roegadyn are quite competitive and full of courage although there are some who are tender and meditative in nature.
Click here to check out the #1 Final Fantasy XIV Guide
There are two Roegadyn sub-races. These are:
FFXIV Roegadyn SubJobs
Roegadyn Sea Wolves
Sea Wolves usually come from and around the Limsa Lominsa area. They are seamen who have become mercenaries, bodyguards or pirates by trade. They originally came from the islands in the northern seas where they were fishermen. There was a time when no coastal village or vessel is safe from their brand of brutality. According to the Final Fantasy 14 guide, most Roegadyn in the realm are part of this group.
Roegadyn Hellsguard
The Hellsguard live deep in the mountains of Ul’dah. It is said that this group of Roegadyn have mastered the magical arts. Both their mind and body are tempered by their volcanic environs. They believe that the volcano is the fiery gates to the underworld and they are on the constant vigil against souls who want to go back into the realm of the living. Because of their sheer thickness of their body and steely demeanor, Hellsguard can choose either monastic or martial way of living. They find work as smithies or bodyguards.

Miqo’te
0FFXIV Miqote Class
The Lore
The Miqote arrived in Eorzea during the age of the Endless Frost when seas were turned into ice and travelling from one continent to another was easily done. It was during that time when foreign animals made their way into the realm and they were followed by the hunting tribe called Miqo’te. They stayed in Eorzea even until the end of the Endless Frost period. They are still regarded as one of the best hunters in the realm. We have atleast one of us at Final fantasy 14 guide, looking to play Miqote desperately.
Modern day Miqo’te keep to themselves and are territorial. There are only a few of them residing in cities and they usually lead an isolated lifestyle. They don’t like to be in contact with other races. You wouldn’t see a Miqo’te mingling with others in a crowded place. The males of their race tend to live solitary lives. This is the reason why most of the Miqo’te that made the transition into Eorzea civilization are female. Others thought that they are an all-female race.
Click here to check out the #1 Final Fantasy XIV Guide
At present the Miqo’te are divided into two groups. You can easily determine what group an individual Miqo’te belongs to according to their appearance. What’s common with them is their great sense of smell and powerful legs. They also have a tail that provides them with extraordinary balance. These traits make them good in hunting and predation.
Miqo’te are divided according to the goddess they worship. Their lifestyle is based on what group they belong to. As stated by the Final Fantasy 14 guide, the two Miqo’te groups are:
FFXIV Miqote Subjobs
Miqo’te Keepers of the Moon
The Keepers of the Moon love to stay up all night. They stay indoors during the day and when night comes, they offer their prayers to Menphina the Lover, who is the goddess of the moon. Modern day Keepers of the Moon apply war paint to their faces, which enhances their appearance. Nocturnal by nature, you wouldn’t find them basking under the sun during the day.
Miqo’te Seekers of the Sun
On the other hand, the Seekers of the Sun relish the sunlight. They prefer the sun’s warmth and worships Azeyma the Warden, who is the goddess of the sun. You can tell if a Miqo’te is a Seeker of the Sun by looking at the eyes. Seekers of the Sun have vertically aligned pupils and faintly colored irises. As Seekers of the Sun, most of their activities are done during the day.

Lalafell
0FFXIV Lalafell Class
The Lore
The Lalafell were farmers from the fertile islands in the South Seas. There were no Lalafell in Eorzea before but this was changed when transmarine commerce was introduced. Because of the trade routes, they finally found their way to Eorzea. At present they are one of the most populous races in the realm and can be found in most cities except in the cold regions because they find cold climates to be hostile to them.
Don’t be deceived by the Lalafell’s short, round build. They might look like children but despite their appearances, they have great agility. Plus their short legs can take them long distances over any terrain in Eorzea.They are known to have highly developed intelligence and be very cunning. They can’t easily be fooled by anyone. Final fantasy 14 guide are totally into Lalafells. They are just too cute(classic mistake?).
For Lalafell, family ties come first but this doesn’t hinder them to be friendly with other races. This is evident with their good relationship with all the races in the realm. They have no known enemies and can live harmoniously with others. They are one of the well-established races in Eorzea and you can find a lot of them in every city state.
Click here to check out the #1 Final Fantasy XIV Guide
There are two types of Lalafell in Eorzea. This is according to the way they live. According to the Final Fantasy 14 guide, they are:
Final Fantasy 14 Hyur SubJobs
Dunesfolk Lalafell
The Dunesfolk live in unique structures in the dunes of Eorzea. Their dwellings are fixed on top of large beasts of burden. You can distinguish the Dunesfolk Lalafolk from the Plainsfolk ones through their eyes. The Dunesfolk’s eyes have a glossy, protective layer that covers their pupils to protect them from sunlight. This makes them stand being in the desert most of their lives. Majority of them have a small gemstone on their forehead that represents their zodiac sign.
Plainsfolk Lalafell
The Plainsfolk live on the flat lands. To the outsider, all they can see are the traditional Lalafell thatched huts but beneath these huts is an intricate network of underground passageways. They use this to move around their village. Their distinct hair colors of earthy and grassy hues are similar to the tones of their native environment. They have long, pointed ears that can hear the smallest sound made from afar.

Ok, this video isnt really gameplay. He is just running around and finds some campsites to pass time in. The environment is really stunning though!
Hyur
0FFXIV Hyur Class
Hyur Lore
The Hyur have the largest population in Eorzea today but they remained as diverse as before. In the beginning there were no Hyur in the realm but their numbers grew because of their three migratory waves into the realm. They came from the neighboring islands and continents. Final fantasy 14 guide didn’t state the reason as to what led to the migration of the Hyur into Eorzea.
They have medium physique, both in build and height. You can immediately recognize a Hyur from the other races through their ears. They have short, rounded ears, which is unique among the races in Eorzea. They can travel long distances by foot, which is one of the reasons of their increasing population in various parts of the realm. You can find a Hyur in every corner of Eorzea.

During their travel to Eorzea, they brought with them sophisticated technology, which are useful in taming the new land. Technology made life easy in the continent. They are also responsible for the cultural progress of the realm and spearheaded the various advances of the realm’s civilization. They managed to do this despite the initial resistance of the native Elezen, which has resulted into violent conflicts.
The Hyur have various languages and diverse social institutions. They believe in individual freedoms. These are probably the reasons why the race suffers from lack of solidarity and group unity. Because of their vast diversity as a group, they can’t find a single cultural identity. Although there were no in-fighting between groups of Hyur, it led to the formation of two distinct groups among them. According to Final Fantasy 14 guide, these are:
Final Fantasy 14 Hyur SubJobs
Highland Hyur
The Highland Hyur live in Eorzea’s mountain regions. Their build is larger than the Midlanders because they had to adapt to their environment in order to survive. There are a few Higland Hyur left after the fall of Ala Mhigo. Those who survived now work in city-states as sellswords and mercenaries. They are the best in their line of work.

Midland Hyur
The Midland Hyur chose to stay on lower elevations. They compromise more than half of the total Hyur population in Eorzea. They can be found in almost all the city states in the realm. Their lives are as diverse as their heritage. Midland Hyur are more educated than most of the other races because they start training their youth in letters. They are more mild mannered than the Highlanders.

Elezen
2FFXIV Elezen Class
The Lore
The Elezen are noble and refined people who were the only inhabitants of Eorzea. They lived in the continent before the other races have started to migrate towards Eorzea. This is the reason why they ruled over Eorzea for years. They firmly believe that their prominence in the realm is their divine right given by the gods. This gave them a high sense of pride and honor, which all of Elezen possess.
They adapted well to Eorzea’s environment with their tall, thin physiques and elongated limbs. They are agile and can move quickly over any terrain as stated in the Final fantasy 14 guide. Plus they have sensitive sense of hearing that can detect the movement made by a small critter from afar. This heightened attentiveness of things around them gave Elezen an advantage during fights.
Because they thought the gods gave them the sole ownership over Eorzea, the Elezen believed that the Hyur’s coming to the realm was tantamount to an invasion and majority of them didn’t like it. This led to a long history of conflict between the Elezen and the Hyur. At present the Elezen have already accepted the Hyur and the rest of the races, except for the Duskwight Elezen.
Click here to check out the #1 Final Fantasy XIV Guide
Because of the conflict with the Hyur, it led to the division of the race into two Elezen sub-races. Although in the beginning they are together, there were unforeseen situations that resulted into their separation. As far as we are concerned they are just Final Fantasy 14 Sub Jobs
FFXIV SubJobs
Wildwood Elezen
The Wildwood Elezen were the group that went into Eorzea’s forests as they tried to protect their homeland from the invading Hyur. They are expert archers that can be attributed to their keen eyesight. They remained in the forests until they were drawn to the exciting urbanized cities. At present you can find a lot of Wildwood Elezen in urban areas while there are nomads who stay in plains.
Duskwight Elezen
The Duskwight Elezen withdrew into Eorzea’s caves and subterranean level. They lived in isolation by opting to avoid any contact from anyone but with their own. They even secluded themselves from the other Elezen. They developed powerful sense of hearing that can detect the softest sound. With their heightened awareness of their surroundings, the Duskwight Elezen are proficient in melee combats. They earned the contempt of the Wildwood Elezen because they resort to pillaging and robbery in order to survive.
