[bravado]

On ffxiclopedia under the description for burrow it states that burrow lessens the amount of digs required to unearth treasure in the hot and cold game. in the guide on ffxiclopedia for the hot and cold game it says to take time teaching a chocobo treasure finder and either bore or burrow. however in the description of bore on ffxiclopedia it makes no mention of benefits towards H&C. Does anyone know more about the relation of bore and burrow to the chocobo hot and cold game? id be so pleased if you could grace us with your knowledge. =D

Well I have no solid data on this but here goes... I'm playing hot and cold with a chocobo that has treasure finder and auto regen that I taught to it by accident (it was raised and retired long before the Lethe potage was introduced so stuck with it). My partner plays with a chocobo that has treasure finder and bore. We've both been playing H&C on almost daily basis for the past about 7 months. From the message "You're right on top of it" both of us take 5 digs to get the treasure up. So bore definitely does not decrease number of digs needed. I do think that it increases your odds of hitting a jackpot though (jackpot = extra digs), I go sometimes for weeks without getting a jackpot whereas my partner hits the jackpot pretty much every other time, sometimes for several days in a row. But like said, it's not something I've been keeping proper track of.

From personal experience though, wheter you teach the bird bore or burrow, it won't make or break H&C for you. The one thing I have been keeping track of has been wins and losses in desert/jungle areas and we're both sitting on 80ish wins and 30ish losses regardless of our chocobo abilities. That's exluding the beginner zones we had to grind through first to unlock all the graphs and the occasional week here and there that we were on holidays and I couldn't be arsed to write down the data.
