Well, I guess we'll see if botting is a problem I guess. I haven't even seen it be a problem with mining. I'm far more afraid of people who would take shifts on the same account to occupy an area 24/7. That's the real danger imho.


On a much more joyful note, I finally hit /wait 0. I guess the recent drive to get there paid off. And for those of you who are keeping track of test system data, I leveled up on a Lauan Log in East Sarutabaruta.


(edit: typo)

Anyone know how to contact the person who does the Chocobo digging webpage at http://ffxi.somepage.com/chocobo/?


I have info that they need such as items that arn't listed for certain zones, and correct area wait times. Also how to test area wait, and the time never varies more than 1 second. Unlike the 5-10 seconds different which the website says.


I can see it's recently been updated but none of the info I have has been added, and this info has been tested by me and other diggers who I have helped out.


I don't really want to make my own webpage, but I would like to help get correct and up to date info.

Wow, I just looked and there is no e-mail on the front page of that site. I think PirateGirl has something to do with that site. She has a few posts on this thread, you could PM her using this site.

You can submit feedback on http://ffxi.somepage.com/feedback/.

I run the chocobo digging site there. I just updated it, too, btw. It's going to undergo another change, then it will be finished. Going to link to items, and Cuer is being mean to me about the titles. *sniff*


The digging times are my personal times all the way up through 25, so they're right for me. MOST DEFINITELY dig time was at 60 all the way until wait 0. I don't think anyone knows for sure anyway, quite honestly, I think it depends on a number of things, including when you actually start the time.


I'm going to try and dig those things up you mentioned, darkhorror. Since we're the same level, I should be able to. I may just add them if I get really lazy, though.


Damn term papers.


Did everyone see? NEW GOBBIE BAG! WOOO! 60 slots = yummy time in Altepa.

Your times are very off, it starts at area wait 60 and drops 5 seconds every level. I have this tested at every level except wait 16 and wait 6, but I am talking to a copule of diggers who are starting out and they will give me the info on those two levels.


To get the time you use /clock as soon as you can after downloading data. make a macro and just spam it untill you see the time come up. Then the first tme you are able to use your dig macro without getting wait longer.


This gives a 5 second difference every level and you will ALWAYS get the same time within 1 second. usually just because you can't see shorter time breakdown and can't hit everything exactly correctly. So even if this isn't the time you have been testing it should be since it does change by 5 seconds every level. and the time is always the same.


Yeah those items I told you about are extreamly rare so it will take a while.

macro the clock into your dig macro


/clock on

/dig

/wait 16

/clock on

/dig


or something like that should work fine. or:


(for zone wait)

/clock on

/wait xx

/clock on

/dig


Btw, I dug up a Red Jar in Rolanberry the other night.

Red Jars are fun. I had 40 of 'em before I started tossing 'em.


Regarding the time, I tested just as much as you did and in every way, and though apparently you think I operate in a void, I know plenty of chocobo diggers within and outside of my LS. But I don't want to argue about it, it's silly. I'm sure we'd both rather be digging.


Speaking of - for all you diggers, do you have the Mozilla plugin? It tells you what day and time and moon phase it is. Makes you an uber geek, but it's GREAT for knowing if it's a good day to go digging (or fishing, for that matter).

If you think your dig times are correct then why is it that every test I have ever done has had the dig times decreasing every lvl by 5 seconds? Also I how can one of my friends dig at 55 seconds with area wait 11? Hopefully he will make it to wait 6 soon and get area wait 50, then I will basicly have all the levels.


The problem is that I know that your dig levels are off and I am just hoping I can convince you. I have always tested my area wait times the same way and ever since area wait 40 which is the first one I tested it went down by 5 seconds every level. I also have a couple other peole I have talked to who just hit wait 0, and were at area wait 45. testing it the same way I was.


What other ways are there to test the area wait time? Did you make sure the other diggers you talked to are doing it the correct way?

PirateGirl, I just dug up some fruit seeds in East Ronfaure. I didn't see them on your webpage. Nice update, btw.
