The Mining profession is one of the few Disciplines of the Land Jobs that can be unlocked in Final Fantasy XIV, allowing you to hunt down and gather unique resources for other Final Fantasy XIV players as you travel across the many regions of Eorzea.

Leveling up a Miner can be complicated. There’s no set path. A handful of quests guide you, but they spread you out throughout the game. These quests are small, and many require a few hours of grinding before you have enough experience for the next one. It’s easy to feel lost in Final Fantasy XIV, and we want to streamline the process for you to make it a lot easier to become a level 90 Miner.

You can unlock the Miner Job by speaking to the Miner Guild Receptionist in Ul'dah – Steps of Thal. You can do this after your character's primary Discipline of War or Magic has reached level 10. The Guild Receptionist, Linette, can speak to you and teach your character the Miner profession. At this point, you can equip Miner gear to enhance your character's Gathering and Perception skills, allowing you to hunt down raw minerals while exploring Eorzea. Now comes the real challenge: leveling up from level one to level 90 in Final Fantasy XIV.

The way Miner levels up in Final Fantasy XIV is by grinding, gathering resources you can find while playing, and accepting quests to earn a decent amount of experience points. Here's a full breakdown of the resources you should be using to level up, the quests you should be taking on while playing as the Miner, and where you should go next in Final Fantasy XIV.
