Mastery Rank Data

RCP has a direct correlation with dig accuracy. Your current 35% dig accuracy is the same as when I equip Denim +1 pants, without them on I am at 85%+ with 224 RCP + TH Birds.

3 items on a single dig should only be possible with a Bore and Burrow chocobo and 4 items on the same dig in theory should be possible with the same chocobo and an egg helm equipped. Does anyone have a screenshot of that?

To post more examples and data.
As I said yesterday I dedicated the full farming session to Blue Race Silks.
Got from 29 to 37 and the latest levels took me this many successful digs:
35>36 = ~64 digs
36>37 = 69 digs


Today I dedicated the entire session to Sky Blue Racing Silks.
As expected it took me half time (~50 mins) to reach the cap (200 Successful digs).
Total amount of digs: ~438
This is close to ~46% success rate.
Compared to my previous rate at lower levels that was ~36% for my previous cap of 100 digs.
Is this because I changed zone? (from East Saruta to Konschstat Highlands) Or because my skill is higher and this grants me a slightly higher chance to find items?

Anyway, these are the data of today's session:
37>38 = ~60
38>39 = 62 successful digs
39>40 = 61 successful digs
40>41 = 28+

Considering in my previous attempt I was already at 69 successful digs and considering it goes up with every level, I would say the "expected" number of successful digs to reach from 37 to 38 was ~70, instead I managed in 60.
Likewise for the following ranks.

The special message you get from Sky Blue Racing Silks seems to have a procrate around 40%? Maybe a bit higher. Lower than 50% at least for the sample of today's 200.


Of course I have zero clue on how to get to conclusions, up to you guys!
Tomorrow want me to go again with Sky Blue or regular Blue?

I love your enthusiasm for chocobo digging because I've been playing game for 20 years and never tried it until about 1 month ago. In fact, my only experience was seeing a handful of JP chocobo diggers in 75-era digging in the jungle outside Kazham.

Have you noticed any interesting or noteworthy items from the extra item slots? In my case, I got 2 philospher stones in ~1000 digs, but nothing really noteworthy. I'm not really expecting anything but it's interesting to do and learn about. (Oh, the things I do for Rank 9/10 Hoxne earring bonus... )

Hit Rank 9 last week after getting my 'Wing Skill' from 19 to 25.

Have you done a lot of Limbus climbs?

Not tons, my max units are 63,000 for Apollyon and 81,000 for Temenos.

Update from today's session. Went with Sky Blue Racing Silks again.

~415 total digs to reach the cap of 200 succesful ones (is it just a coincidence or I'm slowly reaching the 50% rate?)

40>41 = 68 successful digs
41>42 = 68
42>43 = 72

I still think the Blue Racing Silks provides a better increase in the long run. At least at my current level range.
Each levelup requires more succesful digs, but the difference doesn't seem to be huge atm. ~15 less?
Considering Blue bumps my total daily caps from 200 to 400... it's still in favor of that body over Sky Blue.

I think I prefer Sky Blue though for a simple reason: I can be done in 45 mins.
With the Blue it would require me 1h and 30mins, given my current ratio between total digs and succesful ones.
For someone who has close to 90% succesful digs then I'd go for the Blue Racing Silks for sure.

This perplexes me as i still am rank 8

Yeah... It feels like we are missing something critical, lol.

Other than Eschuteon and potentially endless Limbus upgrades, no one has ever reported leveling up from an accomplishment that I don't have.

Nevertheless, I am rank 8! I am tempted to go talk to every NPC in the game at least twice and see if that does something.

Master levels and extra skill points from said master levels might mean a lot?

Any exp mexp monexp skill spell etc "means a lot"

It's quantity. In a points system.

@Scratch might sound silly but have you got all QOL key items like portal charm etc? have you got Medal of Altana back from doing all campaign ops? you must be so close to rank up, what's your play time? If you get fellow to 99 and ding 9 it would confirm that means something!

You have way more Mlvls, mon lvl etc than I did at rank up, Only thing i can see from that that I had done at r9 is capping automaton skills and getting all attachments, fellow 99, i have one of the besieged invasion titles but no ones getting those these days so I doubt its that. good luck!

Fenski and I have been doing a lot of the unlocking and collecting together so I know that he has one Besieged title and the Vanabout title out of that list.

What is your play time? I believe we know that's a factor

Yes on QOL drops 3/4 on chocographs and doing other weird tidbits now; Playtime 1470 Days ; Medal yes and campaign ops 100%; All 3 Automaton is capped skill and attachments.

So ya may do fellow this weekend to 99, its a bit frustrating but if i rank on anything but monstrosity it should give community more info.
