All information on where items are found is taken from
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/43599?p=660467#post660467All information on sweet spots, etc. are taken from
www.mooglebox.comTo fully understand some terms and whatnot used here, take a look at this.
http://mooglebox.com/gathering/index.phpI have personally tested enough of these items to be confident that at least a majority of this is accurate.
Side note: +# means above the center, -# means below the center, 0 means center, where your slider is by default. Example: +2 means press up twice when in the strike zone. If it's hard to understand my example, go back to the third link listed above, and hover your mouse over any of the numbers under "Sweet spot".
PS. If it's requested enough, I'll add the remainder bar information as well, but for the moment I feel it may be a bit too much to add for the moment, and isn't necessary, but does help with identifying what you're getting, before you get it.
Also, please keep in mind, some things are just rare, such as gemstones, so you won't always be able to reliably get many of them.
