Endurance
Affects the Chocobo's riding duration.

Discernment
Affects the Chocobo’s potential to learn abilities.

Several conditions increase the likelihood of learning an ability.

Around day 45, the breeder will receive a message from the trainer stating that your Chocobo has entered the prime of it's life and now is the best time to work on it's attributes. This provides an increased likelihood of learning an ability.

In addition, having a higher Discernment, typically a bit deficient or higher, will obviously increase the likelihood of learning abilities.

Telling a story to a Chocobo before having a bit deficient discernment or reaching day 45 has been proven to potentially teach it an attribute (ability), however the likelihood is very small.

If your Chocobo's care plan is set to focus on raising Discernment alone, it will most likely hit average Discernment at around Day 30.
