Chocobo Digging

Chocobo Digging is a hobby in FFXI in which adventurers use Gysahl Greens to get chocobos to dig up items. The only requirement to dig is to be riding a chocobo and to have greens in your invenotory. To dig, the player can use either the dig command from the menu options or /dig. Each time dig is used, one gysahl green will be removed from your inventory.

On Horizon there is a 100 item per real life day limit on how many items can be dug up and this limit refreshes at Japanese Midnight. The limit is increased by 10 items for each rank-up achieved. Furthermore, the message log will show a skill-up message when these are achieved.

Each area has it's own unique pool of items that can be dug up. These pools have a set amount of items and once the pool has been emptied, no further items may be dug on that particular day. Pools refresh at the start of a new Vana'diel day (00:00), at which point items may then be dug up once again.
