Has anybody done any experimentation with the Chocobo Rope? http://www.ffxiah.com/item/11767/chocobo-rope It's obtained from a Treasure Casket in Ordelle's Caves, and it "Slightly enhances chocobo digging skill".
The only thing I can compare it to is the Sky Blue Racing Silks, which "Enhances chocobo digging skill". All that this actually does, however, is increase the skillup rate of chocobo digging.
Does the Chocobo Rope increase the rarity of digging results or is it a lesser-version of the Sky Blue Silks in that it only affects skill up rates? I am A10 and I have both the rope and the silks, and the silks don't give me any messages anymore since I hit A10, so I can't test if the rope has the similar innate ability.
