Enter message:	[quote][i]Quote from: Bosloh -Ragnarok-[/i] hello, Digging for fun thats how you are going to level it up ! If you love to explore and like to find new places ... then digging is suitable for you ! i started digging to level it up and to explore Vanadiel you might find interesting things while digging , really ! I encountered an NM by accident while digging in jugner forset . iknow that sites have located the NMs Positions but its more fun to encounter them by your self and especially by accident ! some times just for fun to look around places that i don't dare to get close to or places i never been to on foot because it takes alot of time on foot ! i have dug up alot of things from Ratten lumber to Gold and darksteel ore ! but don't be too excited because they are awfully rare ! but it really makes my satisfied when i find a rare item once in a while .... ! and Unlike stories i heared about losing tons of gils on green stacks . I was able to cover my lost gils or - invested - gils on green by the items i was digging really Again unlike theories about digging near nation i started digging in yutunga forest and was getting a fair a mount of bones that i was selling for 5k / stack , last 2 stacks of bones were sold @ 7k . may be i was lucky back then (didn't focus on weather)... anyway kept on digging there till i got my first rare item a Rose Log sold for 5k after that by a short time i digged in gust berg to find my self that i have leveled up ^^ . then Digging up rates really began to be noticeable i was digging more bones and sell them eventually and dig up rose Logs once in a while - jugner forest - after that i stopped using the air ship and use chocobo to travel around (to dig ) of course and to get where i want to go - but becarful of doing this if you are a low level cuz chocobo might kick you any time ! any way digging from area to another is a good idea to do because some time you'll see your self not digging anything 10 times in a row thats possible because may be the land was dugged before you came and the items did not fully spawned yet , BUT don't stop digging - that rare item might be next - ^^ ( thats what happened to me ) ! i was digging in gust berg and was about to zone to konchtat highlands and had about 20 times "you dig and dig ,but dod not find anything " THEN VOILLA i digged a Darksteel Ore ! which covered the money of 100 Stacks of greens in one dig . I think few days later i got my rank 2 . NOW when you are rank 2 the story is much different ! you can finish up your stacks before even zoning from area to another ! now you have to stop your random digging and start taking notes or observe and remeber . because from now on it will start to consume your gils if you just randomly . Now you'll have to do it in more orgnized way - it's kind of random thing but, with more observations - because you have better possiblities to dig up better items that covers your digging process .before every thing. #1 have a map next to you and see what is the main attribute of the land you are digging in fire,water..etc #2 see the current Element of the weather ! #3 see the moon phase . #4 Observe your digging rate : observe how many successful digs in a stack . Now you have a choice of remembering the Observations or writting them down - i recommend writing - though i am remebering :P , thats why i am giving approximate data .. But, What to Observe to write ? 1 successful digs out of 12 or all your stacks which need writing down for example if you got 2 stacks of bones out of 5 stacks of greens 24/60 ... thats a good rate now 2 what weather was is in what land ? 3 moon phase ? once you get to rank 2 you'll automatilcally be doing this with out writing anything down , But writing down will alway be a good reference for later use ! once you hang of it : Do it for Rare Items ONLY ! that's where you will start to unfold secrets of digging one by one ( and keep them for your self ) i just taught you how to know the secrets of digging i know i did not say much , and i hope it helps you even a little or to clear the idea of digging to you and the starting step for it :P ^^ "i wish you a happy and fruitfull digging" things to keep in mind : - there will be times that you'll get poor income out of 30 stacks ( even if you did not get a profit you 'll get skill and knowledge of places that are poor to give in a certain time and place ) - some times you are in a good place and a good time but no income ?? may be higher digger cleared the area ! "don't be discouarged " try other zones or do something else . - keep a stack or 2 with you for double elemnts weather (to dig up clusters ) - if you are low-mid levels carful where you dig , you might get kicked by chocobo and die by mobs (time your digging) level 20- = 15 minutes, level 20+ = 30 minutes - get chocobo gears if you are planning to travel alot and far; Extra minutes might save your life (if possible) recommended though - /BLM17 for warp (if possible) - Dig when : waiting for party , have nothing to do ..etc. not necessary to take alot of stacks when doing nothing 1-3 stacks are goodies . Words of encouragement: "i am on rank 2 -i think- i can finish up a stack in a minutes ! i bought 3 stacks of greens and went to dig while waiting for party in jeuno , i digged up 1 gold beast coin and 2 ebony Logs out of the 3 stacks thats 45k out of 2k " I did not pay attention to the weather because i am digging 3 stacks only and was just for fun ...! If you reaches that point of my post then you are a truly seeker of digging and looking for fun and adventure " I thank you from the bottom of my heart " If you find this information useful give Credits Please BTW i am from Ragnarok , if you are there /tell me or give me a hi . if you need any help with digging and if i was free i might come to dig with you :) ... I hope i did not bore you ; ; Laterz, Bosloh[/quote]
