The big Chocobo researchFollow

Also during my second walk (regular, not short) I met a Galka in La Thiene who was walking his yellow with white tipes Chocobo. He called his pet "Blood" and my choco and his became friends.

ive met the Galka in La Thiene three times now, and he gave me the story of a worrysome chocobo. and i dont think conquest has anything to do with who you meet, cause on my server, sandy controls Zulkheim and i still met Blood and the Galka. plus Konstat and La Thiene are both part of Zulkheim so that would ***** over either bastok or sandy each week.

I'm inclinded to believe you. Would make sense if people could accumulate all available books.

edit: Does anyone have links to images from the .dats on adolescent chocobos?

Second day of delivering packages with the same result as the first:

Hantileon : Your chocobo has been out carrying packages. It seems the clients received their orders in a timely fashion...

Hantileon : But it seems that the chocobo was in so big of a hurry that it dropped some of the packages on the way.

Hantileon : Your pay has arrived from the guilds in the form of 100 gil. You have earned it.

What's funny is:

Hantileon : It is a very patient chocobo, making it ideal for carrying goods.

Uh huh >.>
I'm currently spamming "Story of an impatient Chocobo" under the assumption that maybe it will make him *more* patient, but I'm not holding my breath.

Day 23...

I must have a very weak chocobo. I let her exhibit to puplic twice now, and both she really played to the crowd, and i got 200G again today. Yesterday i let her play with other chocobos and she really enjoyed that too. Fed her only Zegham carrots for the past days and while she was a chick she listened only to music for, hm, let's say a week? But still... all her stats are poor. ;_;

Today i let her compete against the 'black' chocobo a third time, she won again and i git the story for the happy chocobo.

After that i took her for a regular walk and met the VCS trainer vom sandy the third time and got the story of an impatiant chocobo from him.

So now i have 3 stories. Only the one from bastok is missing and who knows if we'll get a 5. from the family in jeuno.

OK, Theory.

I think I know when we get the Jueno Trainer Choco story.

So far we can not deliver letters; just packages.

What if when our Chocos reach adult or a week after juvenille they get the deliver letter and dig for treasure option.

I am willing to bet that letter delivery can go to Jueno. After the 3rd time of a Jueno trainer CS you get that Story.

Day 23

Took a walk in town - interested in everything.
fed 3 vomps
Raced - won again
Regular walk - rainy weather
Read story - happy bird
Watched over 4x's

checked on him:
Strenght and Endurance - substandard
still regards me as parent (creeps me out a bit)

have him on carrying packages for next couple of days.

That is utterly untrue, and has not been said (or shown to be the truth) ANYWHERE.

I think you're misunderstanding a bit of information that we DO know so far, and that is the fact that a chocobo can only know two abilities. This is very different from your chocobo's stats.

Also, remember the fact that while training a chocobo for one stat does have a somewhat negative effect on the "opposite" stat, it's not necessarily an EQUAL reaction. That is to say, just because the "Delivering Packages" plan adds (as an example) +4 to strength, it doesn't necessarily mean it's as much as -4 to discernment. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that considering the way the descriptions of these activities are worded, a lesser negative impact is not only possible ... but likely.

Also, don't forget that the stat-boosting food (Vomp and Zegham carrots) doesn't have any sort of negative effect listed with its description, indicating that there isn't one.


There's absolutely no information so far about any kind of limits to a chocobo's stats, yet, and I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be assumed that all four could be gotten very high.

There's an important point in my post that you seem to have missed. Read this line again:



What you're remembering is the fact that a chocobo can only know a maximum of two abilities ... the number "2" was very specifically mentioned there. A limit to stats, however, was not mentioned at all.

If you look at the care plan you can either raise its physical attributes or its mental attributes. So i do agree you have to pick one and go all the way for those. Later on with breeding you can get a all round chocobo. (like 6th generation). As you can imagine a breeded chick will start with higher stats than poor. Etc. etc.

Still all good guys.. keep it up ^^

@Feille what changed in that picture?


Still if you are on Ragnarok and have some Vomp carrots to spare and willing to sell them at a fair price (150k a stack on ragnarok now ><) let me know.

I think Azouphs are sweet and Sharugs are bitter. Gysahl greens must be just normal tasting??

it is just the bottom of the beak, look at the picture of all that chocobos done by Feielle.

and no, i only have two stories atm, cause i havent won three races yet

day 23

My chocobo became ill and the trainer told me to give it tokopekko. He was unhappy. Also he was bored and wanted to race. So i fed him tokopekko, raced him, walked him, and have done deliver package twice, and excerise alone. He has been injured once and this time he is ill. I have him taking a walk through town today, and tomorrow i will have him exhibit in public.

Let's see what turns about.

Edit: I also read it the happy chocobo story to see if it helps him be unhappy, but i believe he is only unhappy due to the illness.
