Excavation Intel

Excavation Intel is an activity in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and one of many types of World Intel. It involves using chocobos to dig treasures, namely Item Transmuter chips, which are then used to craft items. Each excavation location has three transmuter chips to be excavated by chocobo.

Each region has one or more Excavation Intel locations, which are revealed by Expedition Intel lifesprings. As well as transmuter chips, Excavation Intel rewards the usual World Intel data for Chadley.
