I don't know if anyone else is finding this, but I've noticed that while the zones seem to be "copies" of Bubu and Jugner (even in terms of elementals), I get the "better" items much more frequently. IE - 7 Oak Logs and 2 Mistletoe in 11 stacks of greens in Carpenter's Landing.

On my way to dig delay 0 my chocobo price has gone from 107 to 111. I've used 410 stacks so far this level.


Also my price for greens is rising as well, but slower.


I noticed last night that it bumped up from 61 - 62 per green.


Anyone else tracking their dig level and chocobo / greens price?

haha, common misconception. chocobo price has nothing to do with your skill... chocobo price is 50+your level. in jueno, and from crags, it is (50+your level)x2. just so everyone stops trying to find a connection hehe, enjoy your digging.


edit: i just saw this. pitlourde, i do not believe you can dig up zinc ore in rolanberry fields.

Ok so since I paid 684 from a crag this weekend by your math I must be level 684/2 = 342 - 50 = 292


Sweet I wonder what Maat thinks about that...


Chocobo price has to do with usage of the different chocobo spots. Pick a popular spot like lower jeuno and the price is way up there, pick a less popular spot like upper jeuno and it's much cheaper.

Forgive me, I was referring to the base price. The LOWEST possible price has to do with those formulas. Specifically, I was just responding to the people who were trying to determine their chocobo digging skill by these prices. Of course there is a variance when there are lots of people on a chocobo from that particular site.

Interesting, I didn't know that. What about the price of greens? That just jumped from 61-62, are they related to your level as well?

That isn't what I said what I gave was for the base chocobo price(the cheapest price if no one else has rented it lately), and the more people who rent it the price goes up. and I think it goes up by 10% of the base price, I am not sure when the price drops, maybe when each person gets off there chocobo.

Green price is related to fame. If you are doing lots of quests in regions that arn't related to this region where you are getting them for 61, the price might have gone up that way.

My friend has some interesting theories about chocobo price. Have you ever noticed that a party of 6 can go to crag, and 1/2 will get different prices? (Checked multiple times, IE person 1 checks price, then person 2, then 1 again, then 2 or 3 or whatever.) Perhaps chocobo price is also related to rank or something unknown.


Has anyone gotten anything cool digging in the new zones? I haven't.

I went to Bibiki Bay just for a quick trip to the jellyfish vendor ... did some digging... an astounding 7 tin ores (bleh) in a row, 1 giant femur, I gave up for the time being. Don't remember, might have been an incompatible day.
