Chocobo digging may now be enjoyed in the following areas.

Yahse Hunting Grounds / Ceizak Battlegrounds / Foret de Hennetiel / Yorcia Weald / Morimar Basalt Fields / Marjami Ravine / Kamihr Drifts

* Digging in these areas will reward players with bayld in lieu of beastmen currency.

I did some digging in Yorcia Weald and finally got 100% proof that an item and be in both the normal items and burrow items:


I also found that HP-Bayld is (at least) a burrow item:

Have you manage to find items that are "rare"? (as in: 100% sure that they're neither burrow or bore, but more like HMP?).

Haven't amanged so far, that I noticed. Also didn't get a single gem so far (not that I want them, just find it peculiar), and no HMP either (so far?).

Is there any consensus on what stats/abilities are ideal for a digging chocobo nowadays?

I've had great success with a maxed stat Bore/Burrow Discernment/Receptivity bird. Some people say that Burrow clogs your inventory with unnecessary items, but it works well for me.

How would you go about raising a bird with max rcp/end?

End and RCP are tough to synchronize. Carrying Packages alternating with Acting in a Play are your best bets, but you'll probably spent quite a bit on chocobobucks in any case.
