| Update to this thread Ok, new to these forums(signed up to post on this thread). For those who doubt that choco digging exists, go ahead and hit back now, i'm not going to try to convince you. I'm currently lvl 5 (dig time 0, area wait 40). I have invested about 1.2-1.3 Mill into this as of this post, and can verify that there are levels, because i have no delay in digging, wheras my wife has the evil and tedious 16 second delay, and zoning in at at the same time, i can dig a full 10-15 seconds before she can. Also the quality of my digs is signifigantly better, in Altepa - East, she gets primarily bone chips, pebbles and giant femurs, I get more Darksteel, Wyvern scales etc, in West i average 2-4 Darksteel ores and 3-6 Gold Ores per trip, if you check some of the documented rarity of items, I'm digging the "Rare" items consistently. Next topic: Leveling. There are no test items, dont exist, dont bother... that was just what some guy dug up when he leveled and told his buddies, i've gotten 2/5 levels with the last dig being pebbles.... its just sheer numbers of digs, iirc its
1-2 = ~100 stacks of greens
2-3 = ~200 stacks of greens
3-4 = ~400 stacks of greens(closer to 450 for me)
4-5 = ~800-900 stacks of greens <-- where i am now
so far 1200 stacks in, and i anticipate leveling within 1000 stacks, and at my level if i dedicate 1-3 hours to hardcore digging, i can blow through ~100-150 stacks(0 dig time helps alot!!)
about getting the famous "You dig and dig, but find nothing" message:
zones CAN BE DUG OUT! i will notice that after digging a zone for a while, it just goes to pot all of a sudden, and once or twice per Game Hour(not RL hour) 1-2 items are added to the "Pool" of items
on Leveling:
Rolanberry fields; both deserts and both jungles are wonderfully profitable at my level and above... that being said, depending on your server, dont bother going there. chances are, if myself or someone like me isnt already there, we're well on our way.. and when i get there, i will clean the zone out quicker than you can say "You dig and dig but find nothing" I got lvl 1-4 in zones like pashow marshlands, jugner forest, tarongi canyon and the zones around the 3 primary towns, just count on blowing greens to level... its painful, but my wife and i both have crafts and fishing up, so i have the income stream built to afford this.
Send me a PM if you have any questions, I'm on sylph and can talk ppl through some of this |
