Hey everyone,

I wanted to share an addon that my friend and I have been refining called DigTracker (v3.2).

If you do a lot of Chocobo Digging and want to keep track of your session speeds, item yields, and skill-up progress without losing your data when logging out or swapping characters, this addon is built for that.

Key Features
Multi-Character Support: Saves individual historical stats for each character (data/<CharacterName>.lua) so alt digging stays completely separate.
Persistent Dig Intervals: Tracks "Digs Since Last Skill" across logouts and zone changes so your streak/interval count never gets wiped mid-way through a skill-up.
Live Speed & HUD Metrics: Real-time display for session digs, success/fail ratios, hourly rates (digs/hr and items/hr), and an interval status (DUE vs Below Avg) based on your historical average.
CSV Logging: Automatically logs timestamped dig attempts, results, items, and skill levels to logs/dig_history.csv for data lovers.

In-Game Commands (//dt or //digtracker)
//dt toggle - Show/hide the HUD overlay
//dt items - Toggle showing session item list on the HUD
//dt lock - Lock/unlock mouse dragging for the HUD position
//dt reset session - Reset session counters and hourly rates
//dt reset persistent - Clear stored lifetime totals and skill intervals for the active character
//dt reset all - Full reset (session + lifetime data)

Download & GitHub Repo
You can grab the code and check out the project here:
GitHub: https://github.com/peterjez/ffxi/tree/main/digtracker

Installation
Create a DigTracker folder in your Windower addons directory:
Windower4/addons/DigTracker/
Download DigTracker.lua from the repo and place it inside that folder.
In-game, load it via: //lua load digtracker


Give it a try and let me know if you run into any issues or have feature requests! Happy digging!

neat, needs blue racing silks support, so dig for 'free'. so you know daily cap vs. total digs.
Also needs other points aside from conquest: Imperial Standing, Allied Notes, & Bayld.

I'll try to get a sampling of those hits after this NM i'm camping spawns.

Thanks for the feedback! Is the incoming text for Imperial Standing, Allied Notes and Bayld similar to conquest points?

"You discover a cache of beastman resources and receive 485 conquest points!"

The add-on does track # of successful digs per session and doesn't limit the number of successful digs per session, so it should work fine with the silks as well.

Code
11:39:02 === Area: Bhaflau Thickets ===
11:39:48 You discover a cache of beastman resources and receive 555 Imperial Standing!
11:39:48 It appears your chocobo found this item with ease.
11:40:29 === Area: Kamihr Drifts ===
11:41:03 You receive 581 bayld!
11:41:03 It appears your chocobo found this item with ease.
11:49:03 === Area: Rolanberry Fields [S] ===
11:52:47 You discover a cache of beastman confederate resources and receive 1000 allied notes!
11:52:47 It appears your chocobo found this item with ease.


It's nice to know if you hit the daily dig cap or not without dropping a bunch of greens thinking it's just yet another dry spell.
Seeing at a glance that you have gotten 200 fatigue digs already is an easy way to know to stop on that character for the day. (with a personal 200+ endurance chocobo)
typically happens between 380~420 successful digs for me.
