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

Never set your care plans for more then one day, and each day you check on it, re-set your care plans that have expired and become "7-day Basic Care" to something worthwhile.

Each time 24hr mark goes by, the next care plan day that is set is permanently in action. So, if you have a 7-day sleep scheduled or something... set it to something else, but the next day it's still going to be asleep.

[Kerberoz]

Well, about "lovesick"

Mine was lovesick when it first hit adult, and I tried breeding ti and tossing the junk egg, but he stayed lovesick for a total of 3 days.

Now he hit lovesick again. I scolded him once, and the next day he was back to normal.

Mines still a chick though, I thought care plans don't effect them yet?

Even setting a care plan for 7 days will allow you to change it anytime, just you can't affect the next day no matter what, only the day after.
But if you set it for 7 days and change your mind the next day, you don't have to wait 7 days, only 1 day as usual.
Of course care plans affect chicks too. If you never touched that option it has remained on the default which is basic care.

Also, for the person that mentioned their chocobo defaulted to yellow when they didn't look at it for a week, it is just random, some people did essentially the same and got a black chocobo. It's just about a 15% chance of being black vs 70% or more being yellow, with possibly the chance to slightly affect these percentages in a minor way by what you do, but most likely those % are still pretty accurate no matter what you do (some eggs might have a bit better odds for another color but still no egg type or program will give you black or yellow or blue 100% of the times).

I also tried matchmaking my chocobo (day40 now) to make him snap out of lovesick, but it didn't work. I might try scolding it if he does it again, but that we know lowers receptivity a bit (although i don't care as much about that as i do discernment).

Well I guess that would explain it, my first care plan is set to "Rest" 7 days, i was only playing around with the care plans because I was told before hand that they didn't effect the chick until after it moved onto next stage. Gonna change that asap, thanks for the info!

Yay. Strength - Average.

I thought Scold increased Receptivity?

The NPC talks about it and says that scolding makes the chocobo ashamed, and so it lowers receptivity and makes the chocobo more introvert.

No, he says "This will shame the animal and have an effect on its receptivity."

This, I take to mean that it will increase receptivity (i.e. it'll be more receptive and pay more attention/listen to you more).

Receptivity is the "chocobo sensitivity when dealing with others", and the trainer also says that you increase it by "giving it lots of opportunities to communicate with other chocobos". From this I would think that you scolding and ashaming your chocobo would actually discourage his social interactions with other chocobos, which is the one thing we know for sure would raise his receptivity (with activities like playing with other chocobos, not getting slapped around by humans).
So yeah it's not spelled out and who knows with SE, but that's my reasoning for saying that it will actually decrease receptivity and extrovertness.

[Raise4]

I saw the word "wagamama" (selfish, bratty, a bad thing) in there somewhere on a Japanese site--definitive info I know--and I'm going to go with scolding increasing receptivity.

My reasoning is, while in the US parents may be afraid to discipline little Jason for fear of damaging his self-esteem, in Japan shaming/scolding as needed is generally considered beneficial to development.

Of course if I ever raise a choco for longer than 19 days before giving it the boot, I can test my theory. Darn yellow birds.

I don't know if this has been posted before - but here goes:

Strength level - affects speed
Endurance level - affects riding duration

                               | speed incr. | riding duration
-----------------------------------------------------------
level 1 - Poor                 | 22.5-27.5%  | 13-16m
level 2 - Substandard          | 27.6-32.5%  | 16-19m
level 3 - A bit deficient      | 32.6-37.5%  | 19-22m
level 4 - Average              | 37.6-42.5%  | 22-25m
level 5 - Better than average  | 42.6-47.5%  | 25-28m
level 6 - Impressive           | 47.6-52.5%  | 28-31m
------------------------------------------------------
Chocobo stables                |    50%      |  30m
-------------------------------------------------------
level 7 - Outstanding          | 52.6-57.5%  | 31-34m
level 8 - First-class          | 57.6-62.5%  | 34-37m

[Not Kuno]

That chart looks wrong. For me it looks like every other level gives a speed boost. And at level 2 or something I had exactly 25 minutes or riding time or something. I posted all my findings here a while ago I just dont remember them. Although the boost looks so minor it may be right I dunno. Got any proof to back that up?

[Gulkeeva]

hmm anyone else have a blue female chocobo and know what stat to boost it in? Mine dosne't seem to like endurance or STR... and I been spam reading it stories and doing "act in play" and "Digging for treasure" but dosen't seem to be helping raise anything ;;

Id have to say this is wrong too; Just a bit ago I did a test with a friend. I used my Average STR choco he used a Rental. Our speed were near identical, if anything he had like 5% speed on me, and I think thats because I just turned average 2 days ago.

I went back and found my post.

I had lvl3 and it stayed for exactly 25 minutes. I dont think that chart is right at all. Also I noticed like no improvments at some levels, so I think every other level boosts its speed/duration.

What if its like a spectrum?
Like,
I poor I substandard I Deficient I Average I

If your at the end of poor, and someone else just hit substandard, you wont see much of a diffrence because there isnt much. Could explain some of what people see.

[Shuemue]

Yay. Strength - Average.

Same! I'm so proud of little Chocobert now!

I don't know... Whenever I slap my kids, they go around blabbing to everyone.
