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

**reynier** · 2006-10-04 16:31

i just got a strange message today that my chocobo's abilities reached their peak... what does this mean? that the attributes can't go up anymore or that i cannot learn abilities?

**Scythiroth** · 2006-10-04 16:35

I think your choco is done. I think they said they were fixing the choco raising soon since you can't really reach the cap on your choco right now, from what I have been reading.

So far there have been 3 abilities confirmed from stories, which stories those abilities came from was posted earlier.

Did anyone get anything other than a Yellow VCS plaque after retiring their chocobo? Tried a search but it seems to be b0rked.

The plaque looks kind of neat but it seems like a waste of space. Wonder if you'll be able to trade it to the npc item guy... Also, anyone put it into an empty room to see if there's a new mogenhancement: pimpin' ?

On day 43, I got the same abilities message everyone else has stated. I assumed that his stats wouldn't get any better but planned on letting him continue to rot in the stables until the game actually forces it into retirement. He had Average strength and endurance and poor receptivity and discernment. Today after I checked in on him his strength had improved to better than average.

So my new assumption would be after day 43 they can't learn abilities until someone can prove that wrong.

**Slott** · 2006-10-04 20:54

hmm, yesterday got peak msg, but my choco is still delivering msgs today?...

**BRP** · 2006-10-04 21:42

page 100 lol, so much for people not caring about chocobo breeding.

**Akiyama** · 2006-10-04 21:45

No kidding and people have had their stats still rise? Sweet. I'll keep trying.

He gave legit proof eventually. He had average mental stats or whatever and learned them pretty easily. So if your chocobo has average or higher mental attributes it should be fairly easy for you as well.

I have level 4 and level 3 mental abilities (4 discernment, 3 other one), but mine has been in love for a while and has not learned anything even from reading the same story 8+ times in a row in the same day, or switching between stories over multiple days. I am guessing he can't learn anything while he's lovesick, i get the message "he seems interested in your story", but his head is down in lovesick emo-ness, so I don't imagine I would get a lightbulb or learning abilities during that.

I am really happy to hear he can still grow in stats though, I hope I can get the very last story (4th story) and learn some abilities still.

**Tythera** · 2006-10-05 00:52

When mine hit average discernment it was lovesick for 3 days (didn't learn anything from spammed stories on her), went to average receptivity but then illness as the lovesick wore off, though she did learn auto-regen while she was ill. Been spamming stories on her since but nothing yet.

**genome** · 2006-10-05 01:02

I can also confirm their stats go up even after the "reached its peak" on day 43. Day 44 receptivity went up 1 more level for me. Still lovesick however. I even tried changing care plan (to basic care, then exhibition, then back to digging), making it race (on 2 different days, he won both times even if his stats are poor,poor, average, bit def.), slapping him.. no change so far.
Btw now I finally got all 5 stories (6 if you count random chitchat). It is also friend with all the other trainer's chocobos.
If I can just get him to learn burrow I'll be pretty happy with it and won't mind so much losing all those key item stories when it retires...

**Khamsin** · 2006-10-05 02:30

Happened with me, too. Only, my stats didn't change overnight from the care plan, but instead changed after feeding/storytelling.

So this proves that your stats can change after the "abilities have reached their peak" day, rather than being attributed to theories like the cutoff being at the end of the day, including one last care plan at the end.

Knowing that they can still improve makes me happy.

I couldn't care less what abilities mine can learn, I don't give a toss how long I can ride him for. I don't have any interest in how well he can dig. All I want is him to get me from A to B asap and no journey will ever take longer than 5-10 minutes.

What about style? WHAT ABOUT STYLE?! Blue choco. ; ;

wtf is the point of picking any plan except basic, since basic increases everything >_>

It depends on how big of an increase it is. The arrows are the same size as the ones for Listen to Music and Take a Walk, so perhaps if you did nothing but Listen to Music the entire time Day 1 to 45, its mental stats would be the same as if you had Basic Care from Day 1 to 45... only with Listen to Music, the physical stats would be poor, whereas with Basic Care, they'd be Average, too.

**Kerberoz** · 2006-10-05 15:33

Well, just because they used the same arrow graphic on the chart doesn't necessarily mean that they're the same exact increase, just in the same range.

**Akiyama** · 2006-10-05 18:39

Hrm. I just thought of something. When you are raising your second chocobo after your first one is retired.. (Since I presume once it's retired through the game or you doing it, you can still call it and what not..) how will calling the second one work since the whistles are rare/ex? O.o

You register the chocobo you wish to summon. The last one you registered is the one summoned, but you can change that at any time by re-registering a different chocobo.

**Akiyama** · 2006-10-05 20:10

Ah. Ok. So I take it there is a menu for retired chocobos where you can register them and what not? That'll be good.
