uneventual week

its been an uneventful week. I spent most of it digging in north gustaberg to pull up darksteel ores for a friend that was leveling up smithing and needed some. i didn't use my chocobo for this like usual, as I did not want to dig up crystals at all.

now with that part over, I'll be heading into kazham this week, as he wants Rattan Lumber, and beastmen have control of elshimo lowlands on our server.

gold ores

last 2 days i dug in altep. 2 alum. ores, 6 gold ores, 4 coral fragments, 4 philo. stones, and 3 darksteel ores later, I felt like I made a good judgment. A little consolation prize for having to miss the upcoming early waxing crescent because of work, but at least I'm over 100k richer as a result. I sold the alum. ores, and saving the others for later (though will eventually sell the stones once I get a stack).

my mule's chocobo will be black :)

so-so

its been a so-so week in chocobo digging. last 2 early waxing crescents yielded no elemental ores. the chocobo is being stubborn about digging up items and as a result i been forced to use 15-18 stacks instead of the usual 11-13 to hit fatigue. today, however, I came up with a very hard to dig up dragon scales (even with a first class discernment chocobo with bore and adept digging rank) and enough turtle shells to break even. I think I made a small profit with the elm logs I dug up the day before too.

i'm still 0 for the good stuff (aside from alum. ores where i'm 2 for) on the hot and cold digging game. all week long its been failures or 100% crap, with the exception of a single fresh mugwort.

competition, whatever

a lot of diggers out today for this early waxing crescent. yes, this was in the middle of JP prime time as it was 3 AM here, but I was able to get about 6 wildgrass seeds, reishi mushroom (rank promotion item), and some other assorted junk yet no elemental ores today. my chocobo also failed at hot and cold game today in Pashhow, so I have to head to a different zone for that game tomorrow.

Getting Elemental Ore through Chocobo Digging

DoreAvenger scores in La Thiene Plateau at 12% Early Waxing Crescent today. It was an icing to the cake that yielded 6 wildgrass seeds and enough iron ores that resulted in a steel ingot. This video is uncut, and I added some music to it.
