Chocobo Attributes

Strength
An attribute used in Chocobo Raising that affects the chocobo’s running speed. Having Receptivity as a chocobo's dominant (highest) stat results in an ill-tempered personality.

In Chocobo Racing, increased Strength affects the chocobo's base speed.

If your chocobo's care plan is set to focus on raising Strength alone, it will most likely hit "Average" Strength mid-way through adolescence (around day 22-28).

Note: Having Strength at "Average" or above before day 29 will permanently alter the Chocobo's physical appearance as an adult. The chocobo's feet and talons will appear enlarged and its legs slightly thicker.

Increasing Strength
The Chocobo Stables offer four care plans that increase Strength: Take a Walk in Town, Exercise Alone, Carrying Packages and Deliver Messages. It should be noted that Basic Care increases all stats, but only by a slight amount. The manual care option Go on a Walk may increase Strength, but this is currently unknown.

Feeding a chocobo Vomp Carrots has been shown to increase Strength. During the chick phase, Carrot Paste may also be used.

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.

Note: By having Discernment on Average or above, before day 29 will give your Chocobo a different look, bigger beak or big feathers on the head.
