well I just made it to area wait 35. I have been digging a ton lately, and I think I am going to continue to spend a large amout of time digging so I can lvl up rather quickly. I might try and dig with a hundred or so stacks a day.


Edit: so with this new expansion coming out, there will be new areas to dig?! Should be fun

yes-- with new treasure tables-- so the high lvl zones like meriph wont be crowded maybe

i just spend an hour or so reading this entore thread. great one, im really interested in digging now. it almost made me drink a pop and hop on a choc to stay up, but i think itd be best if i started when i am wide awake. thanks for all the info, not to read the website posted on page 1 ^^

Yeah, and we get another person addicted!


How do you guys time your area? I always time from the minute I see the downloading or whatever oval button. But lately, I've been getting different times. I'm at level 5, and I come in anywhere from area 45 to area 55.


But if I do it with a macro the second I zone (and can hit the macro), then I'm somewhere between area 35 and area 40.

Do it with a clock macro and after you see downloading data just keep on hitting it. It won't start then but as soon as you enter the zone. I was getting area wait 40 for a very long time, then just go it so I get area wait 35. I am sure this is correct because I tried using my macro before I zoned once, and it only took me 5 seconds before entering the other zone and once I did I could dig in 45 seconds from previous zone, or if it took longer it would add to my 40 seconds how ever long it took to get to new zone.


So infact where that chocobo digging website has area wait 50 it's infact area wait 40.

so confusing ¬.¬

I do it by counting how many times my macro goes off before i can dig... currently i have to go through 4 waits (11 sec) before i can dig, and the timer starts as soon as the game is accepting my commands.

create a macro that shows the clock, just keep hitting the macro before you enter an area. after you enter the area you can see what the time is. now just hit the macro a few times and the dig macro right after. This way you can see at what time after you zone you can start digging. This is your area wait time.

I just got to Dig 0 and it's only been around 2 weeks since I started. The money is flowing in like something that flows rapidly. I'm almost at 1.5 million profit. Before I started digging, the most gil I ever had was 360k.


My theory on leveling is if you just dig like crazy you'll level up. I've gone through between 300-400 stacks of greens so far. I've almost exclusively been digging in Yuhtunga and Yhoator because everything you can dig there is worth good money.


Good luck everyone, keep abusing those chocos.

This is what I use:


/echo Wait for it!

/wait 35

/dig


I can't dig at 35, but I can dig RIGHT AFTER (like 1 second) I see the macro, so I figure I'm at wait 40.


The problem is if I time it from the second I see downloading data, I get conflicting results. I think this is because I timed how long the downloading data oval took before I saw the screen, and it took anywhere from 5-15 seconds. Which didn't use to happen, used to not take more than about 8. Maybe my computer just hates me lately.
