Botanists are wanderers of the world who specialize in gathering plants, lumber, and many other useful objects from things which grow from the fertile soil across the world of Hydaelyn. Wielding their trusty hatchets and scythes, botanists can gather many things that other professions find useful in making armor, weapons, items, potions, or food. Their guild, currently led by Fufucha in Gridania, is very well respected for their ability to gather, grow, and find just about anything from the flora of the world — and perhaps even beyond.

Botany pairs well with alchemy, carpentry, and culinary, but also benefits from mining and fishing as well as goldsmithing, blacksmithing, armorsmithing, leatherworking, and weaving in order to make the gear that botanists use to enhance their skills.
