chocobo digging LEVEL FUCKING 10!!!!!

Soooo I hit lvl 10 chocobo digging last weekend (2 weekends ago?), which was freaking awesome. Currently I'm the 2nd NA on fairy to do this, the first is a really nice girl (french-canadian, does this even count as NA? can I be 1st? lol) named Meomeo. it's been pretty nice, although i still haven't had any luck with digging elemental ore, blah.

Woodworking is my big priority now, I managed to circumvent one level of cythara angelica (60k loss per synth) by making bookshelves from 94-95. A breakdown of 95-100...

95-98 Cythara Angelica...

Ancient Lumber x2 = 40k
Ebony Lumber x2 = 20k
Couerl Whisker + crystal cost = 1k
=61k per synth (NPC for 5.5 or try to desynth...)

x40 synths per level = 2,440,000 gil per level x 3 levels = 7,320,000 gil

98-100 Iron Splitters

Adaman Ingot = 100k
Walnut Lumber x2 + crystal cost = ~2k
=102k per synth (try to get HQ3 from desynth for 6 adaman nuggets)

x 40 synths per level = 4,080,000 gil per level x 2 levels = 8,160,000 gil

7,320,000 (lvls 95-98) + 8,160,000 (lvls 98-100) = ~15.5 mil to get to 100 from 95. yeah...

the good news is I can save some money by HQing my lumber, desything everything (generally nets more than NPCing), and having a friend make adaman nuggets/ores into ingots for iron splitters. I dont think this will lower the 15.5 mil estimate as I think 40 synths per level is perhaps a tad optomistic.

I suppose this isn't anywhere near as bad as 50+ clothcraft, or goldsmithing 70-80, or nearly any part of high level leathercraft, but still... yipes. At least I get to NPC or desynth everything, my skillup rate is really only dictated by availability of materials and how fast I feel like pouring money into it.

Other projects:
-Just started working on drafting desk (my last guild point item) 2,080/150,000 lol
-Leveling my mule's goldsmithing, she's at 50.5 now. I'm about 20k/70k on her sunglasses.
-Capping out leathercraft (for shura togis) and smithing (which I need to get to 60 before wood98 since thats the subskill requirement for iron splitters ._.) and goldsmithing on atre...
-Maybe start an alchemy mule?
-I should probably get smn to 37 at some point, and some merits on atre. Bleh @ xp
