Digging skill caps on items

Re: Digging skill caps on items

May i be the one to finally dispell the bone chip rumor? I got 2 last night, and my re-digs still take 16 seconds

More proof on that it isn't bonechip that's the skillup item:

I was digging in Konschtat, and was getting no chips. Only flints, pebbles, and pugil scales. Hit level 2 while there.

Could there be a hidden skill level as well as rank level? Maybe as long as (general) you dig up the test item at some point during the appropriate rank level, you can advance. And the other items just add to your skill level.

So even if your skill level got to 10 without digging up a Bone Chip, you wouldn't advance to the next rank until you did get a Bone Chip.

But if you dug up a Bone Chip at, say, level 8 and you dug up other items that got you to level 10, you'd advance to the next rank just because you'd already "turned in your test item".

Just a hypothesis.

There's way too much I want to do in this game. ><

Re: Digging skill caps on items

yeah, I haven't done much digging at all over the past 4 days. too much RL stuff going on, and when I was online I either did a besieged or I logged to check on AH and went AFK again. i'm going on vacation next friday and will be gone for 9 days, so i'm hoping to hit artisan digging rank by june 30th though i have at least 1200 stacks to go right now.
