i'm a35 digger, which is journeyman rank. i always carry wind crystals and bundling twine with me to convert mahongany, ebony, and rosewood logs into lumber (important to turn non-stackable into stackable if possible). my skill is too low to turn petrified logs into lumber (as i opted to do bonecraft). I know just about every high level digger that digs in the jungle on a regular basis do the exact same thing. I also turn all other profitable logs other than oak and elm into lumber. I usually turn Elm Logs into Bast Parchment, and either use the Oak to make Warp Cudgels or sell "as is" in Jeuno (oak lumber stacks, for some reason, sell for loss).

(When it comes to digging up logs, all logs dug up other than lauan, willow, and holly are good digs. Maple Logs can be turned into maple sugar for big profits if Sandy is 3rd place in conquest, and Ash/Arrowwood Lumber is used for ammo which almost always sells for a good bit of change.)

an a35 digger in the jungles will pull up more logs than an a55 or a60 digger in the same area, over the same period of time. Also, the Jungles have a good reload rate on the logs, the other zones that have the same logs have a very crappy reload rate.

(currently writing new chocobo digging guide, its nearing completion right now.)
