Chocobo Raising Now Available! (08/21/2006)

[Eaglestrike]

Yeah i'm leaning towards the taste for certain foods. I only feed mine 2 kinds of food, but when i first gave it to the bird it munched weakly, now its always one gulp. I dont feel like changing the variety either so it'll probably keep eating in one gulp.

Was it sick when it gave you the "munches weakly"? Mine was sick only 1 day, and that's the only time I ever got that message, on a gysahl green that all other times he eats with the normal munches contently message. It makes sense that while sick he would munch weakly.

He munches weakly when he's sick or really low on health (like you walked him x3 and watched him 3-5x) and you feed him.

Every day I take mine on 3 walks, then watch over him until he has about 2% energy left.

He, 100% of the time, always gulps down Azouph Greens in a single gulp since the first time I gave them to him where he ate them "contently."

At first, when feeding him Zhegam Carrots, he "weakly" ate them, then after about 3 of those, he "contently" ate them.

If you've ever played Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, I have a feeling there might be a similar food preference system as there is in that game. Where eating same foods over and over they drop down on a preference list, and eating disliked foods, they tend to rise up on preference. Possible, but at least I'm pretty sure there's at least an inherent food preference like the races in FF:CC.

Hmm, odd. I've only fed him Gysahl Greens, except when he was sick and then 1 Tekopekka Grass. He's munched weakly on two days, both were when he was really low health, a 3rd day if you count him being sick. All other days, same food, were contentedly because I fed him when he was higher on health.

Eaglestrike, I just tested the "low health" thing, I got him drained completely before feeding him the 3rd food item, and he still munched contently on that gysahl green. So I think that only happens for sure when your chocobo is sick (or full i guess? I never tried overfeeding him and i don't plan to).

Also I still have to play FF:CC, but at least for the 3 items I always used the message never changed, so if it happens for other foods, somehow gysahl greens, sandoria carrots, and vegetable paste are exempt.
I did feed it a different green once and he just gave me the 'eats', same for a different paste 'carrot'. Maybe on those if i kept feeding them it would have changed its taste, but i am sure for the ones I keep feeding it never changes.

On the very first day as a chick, I overfed my chocobo. The message I got was "your chocobo seems to be forcing itself to eat the vegetable paste." I'm not sure if that helps you or not in figuring out the difference in "contently" or "weakly."

More related to the issue, the help NPC mentions that varying the food you give a chocobo is a good thing. So, it could be just revealing the chocobo's preference for that food (which may or may not have an impact on how potent the +stat related to the food is).

He's only ever been sick once and I got munches weakly a week+ before then. And he's also munched weakly when he was "starving" and the entire way to "completely full" so... I have no idea anymore lol

don't wanna sift through 40 pages so i'll just post on the assumption that nobody has mentioned it before...but...

has anyone else noticed that when their chocobo is "quite perky lately" when you do the "Care for your chocobo" stuff, it takes up more energy? noticed it when usually going for a walk took just over 1/4 of my chocos energy and when it was perky it took almost 1/3

I haven't noticed that, I am always able to do 3 walks a day + watching over several times. The watching over message does change when it's perky ("Your chocobo is in high spirits") but not really less energy for me.
I do remember in the first few days (day4-5) a walk would take near 50% of the energy though.

well i noticed it cos before i was able to do 3 walks + watch like 6-7 times, then his "perky" day i was able to do 3 walks but only watch over twice

Was your chocobo ill the next day and then had to feed it Tokopekko Wildgrass? Like the day before it gets ill, and the day when it actually is ill, wouldn't it seem to take more energy(effort) for it to do anything?

Yes you said it was perky that day, but what happened the next day? *wrapped attention*

well he's still perky today, have to wait till tomorrow (2:50AM is my 24hr mark ._.) to see if he does get ill, but i don't think he will get ill

i read this earlier

stuff

rebuttal

rocl sent me a pm about this topic and i havent responded yet

Check your PMs plz ; ;

[Khamsin]

Mine had a personality for the first time on Day 16. It has a rather enigmatic personality, making it hard to know what the animal is thinking. I've been feeding it veggie paste and sharug greens, with zegham carrots when perky. It's been jamming to Ru'Lude Garden music lately.

I plan to boost its mental stats so it can learn Gallop and Canter or Auto-Regen, and then boost strength and endurance for riding/racing.

[Not Kuno]

Went went from a week straight of ill-tempered to very patient. wtf >.<

Sounds like it made the transition from Norman Bates to Patrick Bateman.

[nekoshoonen]

Egg type? Routine? Feed?
just trying to get some theories going on how to get the Attributes up.

Haven't had a chance to check mine yet. Anyone on Day 17 with a teenage choco? i'm getting extremely fed up of this stupid chick >.>

[rincewind]

day 17 all stats the same.

i have got the regard as a parent, in high spirits, receptive to anything messages for quite a few days now, have been keeping it active and have been feeding it vomp carrots and veggie paste. now i think i should have just sold those carrots for 50k each at AH and made myself some money instead...

priran, you've had that military message for a while. did you do something in particular to get it that way? have you exhausted your chocobo before?

[loial]

I have a bird that says "ill-tempered and well suited for military use." It's been sick on-again off-again since it hatched. Probably about once every two to three days. I let it rest once and it didn't wake up for 3-4 days since it was starving and would fall back asleep before I could feed it... and that's when it got ill-tempered

[Ligro]

mine wont wake up, hates me, is starving, and um... is suited for delievery.

Sleepy mexican chocobo?

[Gulkeeva]

I noticed when I rest it once because it was "ill" for 1 day.. the next day it was all ok but asleep (even after I got a "day ??" CS showing it happy and singing.

Next day I got a CS of the chocobo walking and then right after its still sleeping -_-

on the 3rd day it wokeup all happy though, the affection thing went waaaayy down, had to spam toppoko whatever grass to bring affection up.

[Evedgebah]

Day 18 - STAT INCREASE (I think . . . ?)

My chocobo's Strength is now "Substandard" instead of "Poor"

Diet up till today: Sandy Carrots

Care Plan: Walk (Every day even when sick)

Personal Care: 3 Walks a day and 1-2 Watches

EDIT: Just saw Prian's pic - was [x] thingy when I posted. You walking your Choco to death too?

[rincewind]

Day 18... same as the 13 days before it....
