Chocobo Racing Trophy elemental strength found

[Guppy]

Hi all,

I haven't seen the elemental strengths of the various Chocobo Circuit racing trophies posted anywhere, so did some mix-and-match comparisons with the rest of my moghouse furniture and came out with the following results:

CS Gold Cup = Wind 4
CS Mythril Cup = Wind 3
CS Bronze Cup = Wind 2

The CS Gold Cup is pretty good, given how few good wind furnishings there are. Anyway, off to cross-post this info in a few other places.

wtf is chocobo racing?

How do you even get those? I only got a key item I think, unless they added more races and I didn't care enough about it to check.

You obtain the trophies by placing 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in the C1-level "Crystal Stakes" race. These are races that take place inside the Chocobo Racing Circuit (unlike the previous "Official Races" held by the NPC standing outside).

I read somewhere, that they are Moghancment: Experience. Anybody tested that?

I wish one could exchange the trophies for Chocobucks or Racing items. I don't have space for more than one of each, it's somewhat annoying to throw them out after each race.

While we are at it, is there any experience enhancement better than 5%. or it's the max no matter how strong it is?

Unfortunately, I'm stuck with my 8 mannequins for storage space I can't clear up (thus lots of Light element), and don't have enough room to stuff my moghouse full of items with low Wind strength to overcome the light to test it. Sorry!

One trophy I still haven't come across yet: the Bronze Trophy:

Appears to be distinct from the CS Bronze Cup, and haven't seen it in-game yet. It is possibly a data-mined item that has been obsoleted.

Huh, I thought the cups hadn't been made available. I had given up on chocobo racing, now I might have to go back. Bah.

Can you post screenshots of what they look like in your MH? I want to see if they're worth getting before I decide to go back.

Oh man, they're kind of cool looking. Back to racing for me!

Thanks for posting them!
