Max Values for Digging/Chopping?

[Jaunt]

Hey, I was looking at putting together a civilian type outfit, and was just wondering what the maximums are for digging and chopping, if any, and if there are any other relevant breakpoints. Thanks.

Just aim for 34%/dig on your digging set. It's not possible at the moment to get 50%/dig which reduces dig intervals from 3 to 2.

You'll need a couple enforced seam + feathered brooches to hit 34%/dig.

As for tree chopping, it's pretty useless despite it's intention. It does not reduce time to cut a wood log or plank a fresh board. It does reduce tree chopping speed to 1 minute 40 seconds or so with buckskin inlays and feathered brooches. However it's pretty meaningless to go for this as you *should* be chopping tree while semi-afk or playing two accounts at once. Pop in a movie or tv show and chop away every 3 minutes or have a second account to chop trees switching screens once in a while.

to give you an idea: I have 7 enforced seams and 1 feathered brooch in my clothing, and with a metal spade I can dig 35% each tick.
