Chocobo Raising Q&A

[Khamsin]

I hope that, regardless of color, a chocobo can have varying speeds to spice it up a little and increase variety. So my friend might have a plain yellow chocobo, same as me, only mine might be born able to run mazurka speed while his is born able only to run at gravity speed, so he'll have to euthanasia it. Though I'll probably regret it when some rare superflee yellow chocobo runs by me and beats me at the circuit.

[Jeryhn]

Now that we're on the subject of speed, I hope one of the names you can get for a chocobo is "Argus".

I would waste no time and get breeding ASAP.

[Desklamp]

Think of the breeding fees you can charge if you have a rare-chocobo...

In the last issue of EGM theres a small picture of what looks to be the chocobo racing track with multiple riders on it in chocobo-rider gear.

I've yet to see this screenshot anywhere but it shows different races(hume,elvaan,taru) on chocobos (all yellow) looking to be on the chocobo racing track.

This can mean that either you race the chocobo yourself or you can choose a dedicated jockey? Maybe mannequin-ish puppet to race your chocobo?

Anyone else see this sc?
I'm not home now so I can't scan the EGM but maybe someone else has this month's issue laying around.

Perhaps the mammets are light on work, and will take up second jobs as chocobo jockeys.

The NPC system is incredibly useful and strong, it lets you solo stuff much harder than you could before, and you can call it 5 times in a battle if you wanted to for 5 full mp bars. Making it level to 75, at least for the healer part, doesn't matter too much, at 65 it already has all the whm spells you can use (cure5, prot4, shell3, haste, dia2, -na and enfeeble spells) except 1 (shell4), higher level would just give you a little more mp.
I definitely wouldn't mind if they raised the cap to 75, but what I really would like more is more job options, missions, and activities like repeatable quest BC battles or ENMs you can duo with it etc.

Although the healer has close to a full set of spells at 65, I have yet to see a WHM who throws out 500-600 damage Raging Rushes on tough mobs. I think the biggest problem with raising the cap to 75 would be fighting mobs that would be high enough level to give them full XP, three person groups probably would not be strong enough once they get into their 70s for them to get full 300XP per kill. (And it would still take almost 5 calls per level once they are 70+.)

But with that said, I still would level Zoldof to 75.

Oh, and I did not know until recently that Trion can receive bard songs in the Sandy 9-2 BC fight. If he can get them, why can't Fellows?

Fixed for greater question.

I could understand pets (wyverns, BST mobs, Avatars, and puppets) because they are not human. Fellows are supposed to be regular people (in the loose sense of the word) and substitute party members, if they replace a person in the party they should be able to get group buffs. (Erase and Refresh, yeesh.)

You can haste generals in Besieged, though I don't recall being able to Haste my fellow. I wonder if generals in Besieged can have songs..

You can haste, protect, and shell your fellow. You can not use anything that is party member specific though. (Regen, refresh, erase, etc.)

Doubt it... since they aren't in the same party as the BRD, but Trion isn't either. Bleh would be more funny if BRD songs hit SMN avatars in the same party. Would break the game even more lol.

But then again, there are Corsair rolls for pets.

But SE hates pets! Drg, Pup and bst anyone? Could almost include smn in that list for being totally useless for 74 level.

Q. After matching two chocobos, to whom will the resulting egg belong?

A. Both chocobo owners should find themselves pleased with the matchmaking results.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

It means get to 75 and get sky before posting here. Also, they probably both get the eggs.
