fierce competition

lately I seen some high competiton. The competition in the jungles really turned up in the past 3 or 4 days. I was in there trying to dig up more dryad roots for my alchemy mule only to find 2 or 3 other high level diggers in the area. I tried Konschtat Highlands but the prices of both Elm Logs and Bast Parchment have dropped. So I moved right outside Windy going for Saruta Cotton, Green Rocks, Ebony Logs, and Tree Cuttings. Not my preferred spot, but I'm on the verge of going up a digging rank and the last thing I want right now is hardcore competition.
