User:Zatias/Chocobo Raising

Overview
I have long been sort of addicted to raising chocobos. I did not read much into how to care for them at the start, and as such my first chocobo was a complete failure. Since then I have experimented raising several birds while using wiki as a general guide. The information within this page is simply the data of those experiments, and my opinions are stated as such.

The Egg
Chocobo Eggs can be obtained several ways. The easiest way is to purchase them from Dabih Jajalioh in Ru'Lude Gardens for about 1k. At times her stock is empty of eggs in which you will have to buy from her until she starts selling or wait for other people to do so.

Other ways include completing the quest Chocobo on the Loose and winning certain battlefields. In addition, you can recieve eggs from breeding chocobos. The latter is most useful if you want your chick to hatch with abilities or a chance at a certain color.

However you decide to attain your egg, you must take it to one of the 3 starting nations to be cared for in the Chocobo Stables.
