Miner

The Miner is a Disciple of the Land in Final Fantasy XIV.
==Overview==
Miners specialize in the excavation and handling of the land's abundant mineral resources. Their most eager customers are the realm's blacksmiths and goldsmiths. The Miners' Guild welcomes adventurers with open arms, as adventurers are well traveled, which serves to expand the guild's sphere of activity.
==Gameplay==
==Equipment==
Miners use pickaxes as their primary tool and sledgehammers as their secondary. Their armor is primarily made up of "Gathering" gear that they share with other disciples of the land. Gathering gear provides bonuses to the gathering, perception, and GP attributes. The Gathering and perception attributes, respectively, improve the chance of gathering an item and the chance of receiving a high quality version of said item. GP is the resource they use in place of MP for their abilities.
