Looking to collect the new items for Crafted Combat Gear in Patch 5.2? Final Fantasy XIV Patch 5.2, Echoes of a Fallen Star, adds a new level of crafted combat gear. New equipment means new recipes and new recipes mean rare new rugs to collect.
Collection requirements
You must be a level 80 miner or botanist to be able to gather in the new nodes. You will also need to have purchased the folklore books for Norvrandt. You may have unlocked them earlier in Shadowbringers, so check your Botany and Mining Log to see if the new nodes appear. These collection books are available from the Splendors vendor in Eulmore in exchange for Yellow Gatherer's Scrip. Mining Nodes require Tome of Geological Folklore, while Botany nodes call for Tome of Botanical Folklore.
The equipment requirements for these items are relatively low. Your perception must be above 2140 to have a chance to collect an item. , some nodes grant you bonus collection attempts. You'll want to stack as many GPs as possible so you can use skills like King's Yield II or Blessed Harvest II to boost your shot.
