Miner's Guild

"Miners are responsible for the excavation and handling of Eorzea's mineral wealth, be it ores, fossils, precious stones, or otherwise. To fully master the advanced techniques developed by the great mining nation of Ul'dah, they undertake a wide range of tasks, from the meticulous prospecting of the most minute deposits to large-scale civil engineering. Many miners subscribe to the theory of continental drift, and take for their patron deity Oschon the Wanderer." — Game Description

General Information

Miner is a gathering or Disciples of the Land class that extracts minerals from the ground in Eorzea. The raw ores and gemstones they acquire are utilized by the Blacksmith and Goldsmith crafting classes.

The Miner's Guild is located in Ul'dah.

To become a miner, talk to the miner's guild receptionist when you're level 10 or higher on another class.

There are two types of gathering nodes that miners can interact with: Mineral Deposits (yellow icon on the minimap) via mining and Rocky Outcrops (blue icon on the minimap, require a secondary miner tool equipped, first available at level 11) via quarrying.
