al zahbi bore = lame

i took my chocobo digging outside al zahbi but bore yielded just elm and oak logs for the most part and flint stones for burrow. I didn't stay there for long, I simply went back to La Thiene and dug my way to Sandy. Fatigue hit just after 12 stacks today.

tooth hurts

I been feeling a bit bummed this week. I try to do about 100 stacks a week but this week it only took me little more than 88 stacks because the chocobo was getting fatigued between 10 and 12 stacks ever since I switched to digging with raised chocobo. On the other hand, the success rate went from 43% to 49%, I been getting better digs, and as a result saving money on gyshal greens.

Tomorrow is EWC. I haven't decided where I'll be digging at. I hope to take my chocobo digging outside Al Zahbi on Monday but I'll be having a root canal at the dentist on that day and I may not be feeling up to par.

its been a long week. the chocobo egg on my sandy mule hatched and it inherited Bore from AmberII. I won't know the color for another week but I plan on going the endurance route with that one.

chocobo digging has been uneventful all week. bore ability still won't kick in while digging in meriphataud. I took it digging in every zone but the desert, where I plan on trying to get digs in there today if competition allows it. After that, I have to camp king truffles if I want to go up to Adept anytime soon. My personal chocobo is taking just 9 to 13 stacks of greens to hit fatigue, as opposed to my personal chocobo taking 17 to 20 stacks.

<3 batallia

after getting home from work in time for early waxing crescent, I tried out pashhow and rolanberry only not to have much luck to I zoned into batallia and got paid with an ice ore. I pulled up a stack of yellow ginseng as well along with a tree cutting to finish off a stack.

more new items

i went into bibiki today to dig with my chocobo after I got home from work. I pulled up titancitus shells, high quality pugil scales, phoenix feathers, black chocobo feathers, wyvern scales, and spider web. Wow, a nice skill up area for high level diggers, as most of those items cap either at adept or veteran rank.

another EWC

I camped the upcoming EWC in Carpenter's Landing as lightning weather was due to be up. I did not get any competition but failed to pull up any ores prior to fatigue.

There has been good news, however. During that session I pulled up 7 Oak Logs, 1 Elm Log, and 3 Light Crystals (which been going for 15k a stack lately). Also, my chocobo's discernment rose to Outstanding (1 level below cap), so I hope to cap that by the end of the week. My sandy mule also mated my chocobo with a blue one and got an egg today, so I have two chocobos to keep attention to.

chocotonic

I was digging in pashhow with personal chocobo today, and thanks to bore ability I was pulling up yellow ginseng - almost as often as pebbles. It makes the hard to find chocotonic, so I made some with my alchemy mule and sent them back, and put them around the same price of vomp carrots and zegham carrots been going for in others bazaar (4k a pop). All 27 of them sold within an hour, which pocketed 108k gil in my pocketbook. I could had made more off them if I wanted to, but I simply wanted them to move.

I also pulled up wildgrass seeds and tree cuttings in pashhow with bore. Burrow been pulling up shrooms in the jungles, while bore pulls up logs there.

Tomorrow morning is early waxing crescent, so time to get some sleep. My alchemy mule also got my chocobo mated with a blue one today.

got bore

after I got home from work today, I went straight to my computer, logged in, and my chocobo got bore after only the 5th story I told.

I been getting a lot of various kinds of beastcoins, ores, crystals, and flowers with the burrow. I have seen just a few ginger roots so far with bore but I only got it today and I was digging outside Sandy.

My chocobo is only on Day 45, so it has 15-20 days before I have to raise a new one at least. However, it is lovesick and breeding it to other peeps haven't taken care of the problem. Today, it has been battling an injury.

first real test of burrow

I did my first real test with burrow today, in Tahrongi and Meriphataud with my chocobo. In Tahrongi, the ability pulled up various types of beastcoins, and in Meriphataud a lot of different ores. I only needed 12 stacks of greens to hit the 100 item limit today, so at least it was an effective run in terms of ghysal greens.

burrow!

on day 42 my chocobo AmberII had discernment rise to Impressive. I told it story of worrysome chocobo and it learned burrow. I'm going to take that out for a test drive.

lots of crappy digs

took only 15 1/2 stacks before fatigue hit but my chocobo pulled up way too much junk and only 2 gold beastcoins for the effort. I was not satisfied with the results, considering of what it is capable of digging on a normal day.

My personal chocobo discernment went up to better than average, but it hasn't learned burrow yet (I've been telling that story 1-2 times a day since I got that key item about 6 days ago).

work :(

after a crappy weekend of work, I came home this morning in time for EWC. However, a who who's of JP A10s also showed up. I didn't end up with any elemental ores, but did pull up 3 puffballs, 2 elm logs, and 2 oak logs. Fatigue kicked in after 15 stacks, so I still have 5 stacks for tomorrow.

I hit 800 stacks into my level yesterday. I pulled up 7 gold beastcoins yesterday, which is an all-time high.

My beastcoin stacks and my ice ore sold yesterday night, so I'm happy with that, though.

finally got second story

it took 2 walks but my chocobo finally got story of worrysome chocobo. however, my chocobo was low on energy when i got the key item, therefore I couldn't tell it to him right now.

i went digging during early waxing crescent, and finished off a stack of mythril beastcoins and got 8 elm logs but zero elemental ores in just over 20 stacks (before fatigue kicked in). I still made a profit, however, so I'll take that as a accomplishment considering it was getting into JP primetime.

chocobo growing up

my chocobo now has average discernment. still can't get the blasted cutscenes that lead to key items. once it maxes out discernment, i'm switching to basic care until i'm forced to retire it.

today digging: 3 gold beastcoins, but nothing else to note. I have been beginning to see an increase of black chocobo feathers in the past week, and pulled up 2 elemental ores in the past 3 early waxing crescent periods.

I work this weekend, but will be on day shifts once i get off work on monday morning. this will last until early december.
