Chocobo Digging

Introduction

The secret craft of chocobo digging can either be a daunting task or a pleasurable pastime. Adventurers with gysahl greens in their inventory mount a chocobo and use the dig command in an attempt to uncover buried treasures. Similar to other crafts there are 11 ranks to climb. Much like Fishing achieving a high rank does not count towards the 40 levels of crafting buffer. Which means that adventurers may have chocobo digging, fishing and one other craft at the maximum level of 100.

Getting Started

Chocobo digging is fairly easy to begin, one only needs two prerequisites.

• Complete the quest Chocobo's Wounds. This quest grants the ability to rent & mount chocobos and has a minimum level requirement of 20.
• Must have Gysahl Greens in your inventory.

I'm Ready to Dig up a Storm, Where do I go?

A general rule of thumb is that you may dig in any area where a chocobo can enter. Generally the areas close to starting cities will yield a new digger more items. The starter areas have less profitable items hidden which might sound bad, but as a result higher level diggers usually stay away from these areas. The following is a list of locations you can dig:

• insert stuff here

Each area has it's own treasure pool, which can contain up to 50 items. Approximately every minute several new items will be introduced to the treasure pool - until it is full.

Types of Digs

There are 4 different types of possible outcomes after you press Dig.

1. You successfully obtain an item. You have a chance to get a skill up with successful digs.
2. You fail to dig up an item & items are in the treasure pool. You can skill up with a failed dig, provided there are items in the treasure pool.
3. You fail to dig up an item & the treasure pool is empty. Unfortunately no skill can be obtained from a failed dig, when the pool is empty. As a rule of thumb if you just went 6+ digs without getting an item the pool is probably depleted. However, if there is a high level digger in the area they may simply be out digging you. The more you dig, the easier it will become to tell the difference between these two possibilities.
4. "You sense something Nearby". This message indicates that a Goblin Digger has buried some treasure around where you are standing. It is often quite difficult to find it's exact location, unless you watch the Goblin bury the treasure. Some believe that finding the Goblins treasure will give better skill ups - however I have seen no evidence to support such a claim.

Ranks

Just like other crafts, diggers level up as well.
