What does the circle in the graph represent? --Aelis 01:03, 31 August 2006 (EDT)

It indicates the care plans in which you receive payment in gil for your chocobo's services, if I'm looking at the right circles. --Ichthyos 01:19, 31 August 2006 (EDT)

My chocobo has grown large enough to ride at day 29. Tahngarthor 16:18, 19 September 2006 (EDT)

My last two chocobos have hatched on day 4, become an adolescent on day 18-19, and become an adult on day 29. :3 --Shioki 16:31, 19 October 2006 (EDT)

Effects of Chocobo Feed
This section is for discussion of the effects of chocobo feed--greens in particular.


 * When feeding my chocobo Sharug Greens, it's affection jumped from "likes being around you" to "regards you as it's parent" while having a minimal effect on hunger, which suggests that Sharug greens are for raising affection during feeding. I've added this to the effect for Sharug Greens on both its page and this one. If anybody has further information, list it here. -- Quanta 22:47, 3 September 2006 (EDT)


 * I fed it San d'Oria Carrot after i took it for a walk (while using Basic Care), and found its stamina bar the next day from 75% to 95%. Its suggested it either raises stamimna or energy.  --Ayrlie 20:39, 7 September 2006 (CDT)


 * I don't think San d'Oria Carrots actually have any effect...the chocobo's stamina bar raising from 75% to 95% the next day is normal. The stamina bar ALWAYS refills when the chocobo's day changes, minus a tiny bit of stamina from feedings. The only thing I know of that restores stamina is a Chocolixir or a Hi-Chocolixir. ^^ --Shioki 22:45, 26 September 2006 (EDT)


 * I fed my choco parasite worms (wanted to see effect it created) three times when it was "receptible to anything you give it". Only noticeable thing for me was that the next day the chocobo was starving, regardless of how full it was the next day.  After three parasite worms, my chocobo is starving every day which means I can use foods for stat boosts like vomp carrots or veggie pastes depending on if I want to boost str or affection. Anyone else try parasite worms and find any other effects? -- AcidReign 01:46, 24 October 2006

Matchmaking
Any guesses on who's going to get to keep the offspring? o.O It seems a bit strange that they haven't released that information (or better yet, why no one but me seems to wonder). --Chacharu 12:22, 6 September 2006 (EDT)

I think they did... maybe. From what I remember, if I'm correct, someone has to give you their VCS card for you to breed with their chocobo (or vice versa). Then you turn them in, and you get to raise any eggs that result. --Chrisjander 22:06, 7 September 2006 (EDT)

I'm pretty sure the person that turns in the cards gets the egg. I'm guessing you simply get two cards, one for yourself and one to trade, that way you both get eggs. Since retired chocobos seem to still be able to mate we'll likely be able to breed chocobos without needing to trade with other players (though you'll have a shallow gene pool). --Emerje 20:43, 17 September 2006 (EDT)

When you ask for a card, you only get 1 card. It is 500 gil per card. You either trade your card to someone else or have someone else give you a card of the opposite sex. I went to Finbarr and chose Plan C, and wound up with an faintly warm egg after I waited a real life day. You can bazaar chocobo cards. --Ayrlie 10:18, 30 September 2006 (CDT)

Page naming
I'm not going through all the pages that fall in this category... but there are a good portion of them that should be moved to sub pages of other pages. We don't need 100 pages all beginnging in "Chocobo". --Ganiman 16:43, 14 September 2006 (EDT)

Okay so Sub pages to the Chocobo Raising for the Chocobo Raising Options and Subpages to Chocobo for chocobo abilities like Chocobo Strength? --Nynaeve 16:51, 14 September 2006 (EDT)

I think we need to see how this all plays out before moving everything. Strikes me that Chocobo will end up being a disambig page linking to riding, digging, raising and eventually racing. Then there should be one page for each of those chocobo related activities. Right now I think the chocobo raising commands can each have their own page, but again I think we need to let it play out and get a final, featured article status raising guide first. --Gahoo 15:37, 15 September 2006 (EDT)

Running Your Chocobo's HP Down To Zero
I've noticed that if I race, read a story or take my chocobo for a walk until it's HP are gone the next day she's sick and needs Tokopekko wildgrass. I'm not sure if this is something that happens to everyone or all the time. It's just an observation. --Reddove 1:34, 15 September 2006 (EDT)

That's not really HP, it's more of an energy meter. Lower energy would naturally increase the risk of illness. I never completely empty it but whenever it gets critically low my choc seems rather ill. I would recommend feeding it an energy boost or medicinal food whenever you intend on driving it hard out. -- Llana

I regularly run my chocobo's energy down as far as it will go and he has never been sick. The only status effects I've seen as of Day 27 is the "white handkerchief event" and recently he was bored, but no illnesses. --Emerje 20:23, 17 September 2006 (EDT)

Hmm... well I have encountered sick, and injured, but never bored, but from what I understand the more energy you leave it with at the end of the day, the better he rests/heals/works the following day (unless you leave him unattended that day). Llana 20:59, 17 September 2006 (EDT)

I'm not sure what triggers the boredom, just that it can be remedied by competing. I visit my chocobo every day at around the same time (4pm) and have ever since dropping off the egg. My brother on the other hand also had his chocobo become bored and he checks his very irregularly, often days away at a time. I think some status effects are simply random, but we wont know for sure until more people report on them. --Emerje 16:57, 18 September 2006 (EDT)

Chocobo Attributes
My Chocobo's Endurance just went from Poor to Substandard, is that better or worse? And has anyone else gotten anything else higher? Zagex 15:48, 16 September 2006 (EDT)

Poor is the lowest, substandard is the next level up. --Emerje 20:26, 17 September 2006 (EDT)

So far, my chocobo's Strength has gone from Poor to Substandard to A Bit Deficient. :3 Hopefully with the new update, we will see what the next levels are! --Shioki 05:02, 19 October 2006 (EDT)

Tell Story/Go on a Walk Differences
Tell a Story shows that Hantilion is met on a Regular walk for both Bastok and Windurst, however Go on a Walk shows that for Bastok Pulonono is met instead. Same with Pulonono being met; Tell a Story shows her being met on a Long walk for Bastok, but Go on a Walk shows it on a Regular walk. If only one page is correct, I'm assuming the Go on a Walk page is correct, but can't really be sure with the differing information.

But perhaps the trainers from other nations are met randomly on Regular or Long walks and it's different for some people? I'm raising in San d'Oria and I definately met Zopago & Blood in La Theine and Pulonono & Spring in Jugner. Has anyone raising in San d'Oria had it the other way around? --Strifey 14:05, 13 October 2006 (EDT)
