Chocobo Raising/Go on a Walk

Chocobo Raising Guide

Note: Please put information pertaining to walks in the discussion thread.
This is a Chocobo Raising option:

Short

• The location of this walk depends on where you are raising your chocobo:
  • San d'Oria: West Ronfaure
  • Bastok: North Gustaberg
  • Windurst: East Sarutabaruta
• This increases your chocobo's Affection
• Your chocobo may meet other chocobos and make new friends! The timing for making a friend seems to be random, as there have been reports that this has happened on the first walk, and others that it took until the fifth. Usually, after meeting your friend three times, you will recieve the Key Item for a Story. The giving of the story has been reported to have happened as soon as the second meeting, and as late as the fifth.
  • Bastok: You'll meet Zopago who is raising Blood, and tells you the Story of a Worrysome Chocobo.
  • Windurst: You'll meet Pulonono who is raising Spring, and tells you the Story of a Youthful Chocobo.
  • San d'Oria: You'll meet Hantileon who is raising Air, and tells you the Story of an Impatient Chocobo.
• This takes 25% of a newborn chocobo's Energy.
