Chocobo Digging: A good Idea!

[Licus]

SE should add chocobo digging like it had in ff11.

I think it should a little different than how it was in ff14. Instead of having a secret digging level, the chocobo digging level will just be the rank of the chocobo (1-10). Adding this feature could accomplish two things.

The first thing chocobo digging could add to the game is an additional way to level your chocobo. The xp could be a bit more substantial for digging, maybe 500 xp per dig?

The second thing chocobo digging could provide is an overlap with gardening rewards. Not everyone has access to an FC house and/or gardening. By putting some of the gardening loot on the chocobo digging loot tables, everyone could have the potential to dig up items they might not be able to grow. Obviously the very rare and expensive gardening mats would be very rare rewards from chocobo digging.

This could also tie into chocobo breeding in the future where breeding catalysts can be found while digging.

The system could utilize a new type of "digging" greens that you would need to use while mounted. You would be able to dig anywhere as long as you had the "digging" greens to consume. Bump for support!

If they add this I would like it. But it would just be another gathering class. Where everything was clearly explained. You need this much EXP per level, And Toss in some leves when you have 30 mins to gather X number of items.

It also couldn't consume anything to try and dig otherwise it would effect balance between what you got in chocobo digging vs other gathering classes.

bump da bump

To cushion the heavy grind to rank 10? Yes please!
Alsooo lol if fat chocos were used.

For OP suggestion, It would be just like a new gathering class but requires the chocobo.

In XI you have to consume an item for each digging and it was completely no fun and unpopular for chocobo digging in XI.
Please only re-design a funny enjoyable one but never copy the chocobo digging from FFXI. ^^;

Hot and cold in ix is more fun than either of those ideas.

I agree 9s hot and cold was a lot better, digging in XI was horrendous, you spent a fortune and the skill was hidden and had to use macros to test what skill you were at. Along with the tons of times when zones were all dug up so you got nothing
I honestly think when choco raising is added, this will be added with it, and I'm all for it giving xp to level choco, I just hope they don't make it a tedious past time that very few will do
Like maybe a new chocobo tree seperate from the rest, which at max rank give your chocobo miners barding, botany barding etc
