Chocobo Raising detailsFollow

awsome video lmao.

This apparently isn't true.

I haven't used him in a week or so before today, using his brother a number of times over that week, and when I traded him a silver piece today he gave me the offer to go to Windurst, which I'd never had before.

I was highly surprised.

Level 1 job can raise a choco. They get exactly the same cs etc as higher jobs do. Whether there are limits later who knows.

That sounds to me as thought your chocobo won't change shape or size based on the numerous variables that can affect a chocobo--strength, endurance, and so forth--but I wouldn't consider color a changeable attribute. Also, the web site has a nice picture of a Mithra on a black chocobo; my guess is that if they had to pull all the colors out of the update, they would've found a different image to use on the page describing chocobo raising.

My guess is that the five different types of eggs ("somewhat warm," "a little warm") represent the five different colors. Color would be a native and immutable characteristic of the things, not an attribute.

At least, I hope that'll turn out to be true.

Unless of course the attributes, such as Strength, Endurance, etc etc affect the color of said chocobo.

Of course were all only speculating, but if within a month no one has a chocobo that isnt some shade other then yellow, I think it would be safe to assume they meant Color in that foot note and that itll be implemented at a later date.

This sounds like an insane time sink to me, I doubt I will have the time or patience to bother with most of this.

It already is a time sink...I spent a few good hours today muling flowerpots and seeds to my mule to begin growing all the different types of grass I'll need for my chocobo and my chocobo food synths (I am SO happy I decided to taking cooking up). Altogether, I now have 19 plants with the seeds to make grass for my chocobo o_O.

EDIT: That link you wrote doesnt take into account that SE said they are still testing out attributes...so since that link was from an old update from SE, it is still possible that they havent yet added colors to chocobos.

More Chocobo Info

Taken from the link above:



From what I gather (and I could be completely wrong), the colour should be apparent from the beginning (or, at least, pretty early on). So if you don't like what you get, you do have the option of abandoning that chick with hopes the next one you raise is one of the two other colours.

Edit: Gaaah. Remind me not to go afk while responding to a thread. >.> Sorry for the repeat info.^^;

Oh god, that's a toxic level of cute.

Anyone's hatched?

The colors are there and able to be on the chocobos, its the different size and look based on its attributes that was not implemented. reading comprehension is your friend.

*sigh*

People, I fully expect all bought and quested chocobo eggs to hatch yellow. There were hints in the various teasers by SE that although color (as different from the model changes based on abilities) would introduce 2 new colors in this patch, they would be atainable by breeding. So at the very fastest you'll have to wait a month and a quarter to possibly see the first color chicks.

Remember there are 5 breeds of chocobos (and we don't know the conditions for getting these yet either).

Jennet (Windurstian) can sometimes breed a green chocobo
Palfrey (Bastokian) can sometimes breed a blue chocobo
Courser (San d'Orian) can sometimes breed a red chocobo
Destrier (also San d'Orian) can sometimes breed a black chocobo
Roundsey (Jeunoan) Always yello - your standard rental chocobo

Now as the chicks hatch (sometime in the next week I'm going to asume), we'll need to find out what breeds we are getting. This will tell us what colors are theoreticaly possible. Is it egg source that determines breed, is it stable that determins breed (notice we don't have 2 of the stables yet and we aren't getting two of the colors yet. hummm coincidence???, you be the judge), is the breed totaly random? I remember from someone dat hacking the racing tracks that there were 5 stables connected to the race track.
