Excavation

From FFXI Wiki

Excavation requires the use of a Pickaxe on an "Excavation Point" in order to potentially gain items from it. The result of the excavation will either be an item or nothing at all. In either instance the pickaxe may either be reused or will break with a corresponding message informing of it.

  • Players may simplify the process of excavation with a macro of "/item "Pickaxe" <t>".
  • The Field Attire Set reduces the instances of breaks in Mining, Logging, and Harvesting. It is not known if this applies to Excavation, too, but it should, as it is still technically mining.
