Well there is a lot of good stuff you can dig up with chocobo digging. Here is a link with some info about digging.
ffxi.somepage.com/chocobo/
It gives good info but there is still a mystery that shrouds the art of digging
. There are ways to level digging and I've found it easier to start out at lvl 0 in Kazham area the 2 jungle
All you need to start chocobo digging is a chocobo license, some extra gil for greens (I recommend starting with 4-10 stacks of greens your first time) and time to run around aimlessly in a zone.
If you notice after 6-10 times you dig up nothing zone to the other jungle and start digging in there. The reason? well there are a # of items available to dig up in a zone and if another high lvl digger is there they can dig fast without delay and take all the items and you should get out and start in the next zone.
How to measure your choco dig level? I actually have a stop watch and when i'm bored i'll go to kazham and time my digs, and you can tell when all of the sudden your choco is digging faster than usual.
Kazham - you will start by getting some crap items like bone chips, Dryad root, cinnamon, rattan lumber and an occasional rosewood or ebony wood. I just used the bones to level bonecraft.
You wont see yourself skill up .01 but it is a secret skill up. HEHE alot of mystery behind this kind of skill ups plus lots of rumors.
Some think it depends on how many bonechips you dig where you will level up!! I went from 0-1 in 1 day and took about 30k, but made it all back with the drops.
Altepa Desert - When I noticed I wasn't getting much good stuff or leveling up a friend said I should try to go to altep and it was great I couldnt tell I was skilling up, but i was getting some good ores.
I hear you can can switch between these 2 areas to level your digging.
This is great for a whm who has all teleports ^^
These are the areas I mostly dig, but I have tried other areas but I'm more concerned about leveling my digging.
Its currently at level 3, but it took a while to get from 2-3 and about 100k.... no fret I made it all back tho.
A level 60 wood can make good gil digging and using the wood to craft and sell the lumber.
The Rumors
You can dig Adaman Ore in Meriphat mtns <sp> - you can with at least level 5 dig.
You can dig elemental Ores - You can!! and dig on double element in that zone. Some say its a lottery dig. What that means???
Well let say I have dig at level 6 and you are level 1 dig. We both go to tahrongi canyon and its double wind we go digging I will dig faster w/o delay and you wil have 16 sec delay I may get the ore first before you but you may be really lucky and get the ore. I've never been so lucky, but only tried a few times.
Choco digging costs alot - Yes it does, but you can make it all back if you start digging in the right areas. If you try starting your diggin say in ronafare you wont get good skill ups!! It can cost up to 10mil gil to get to level 10 digging, but you will make triple that on what you dig up.
A friend of mine with level 60 woodworking and level 5 dig would make 400k a run, and a run lasts at least 20-30min. Why so short time well you run out of greens!!
As your dig level increases your time you can stay on chocobo increases also, some buy choco gear to stay on longer. I have choco hands and feet just for digging.
This is really good for a whm to make gil.
HEHE it makes me want to level my digging again!!
