Rank 10 Chocobo Barding

So just to clarify - If I allocated all my points into Tank and obtained the Paladin Barding and then reallocated my points into full attacker (still rank 10), I will not obtain the Dragoon Barding until my Chocobo is rank 20?

No idea if rank 20 specifically is required, but you definitely can't do it at rank 10 capped. It's possible all you need to do is give it that Thavnairian onion to uncap it, but I wouldn't know because no onions have even sold yet on my server.

So the item only resets the skill points and not thr chocbo's actual level? Im at rank 9 healer with 400k exp to go till 10 and i dont want to have to start at 0 exp rank 9.

It resets your skills, not your level.

ty for the answer. Now I can get my tank barding to match my tank job

I plan to reach 10 healer to unlock the barding then reset the last 10 points into dps since I've heard the chocobo AI is terrible with medica.

If you have your chocobo in free stance then yes.
If your chocobo is in Healer stance then it's fairly good, like a somewhat weaker Eos fairy.

Never died once to any treasure map, hunt, odin since I've put my chocobo to full Healer.
My chocobo is rank 8 atm.

When I'm hunting maps as a bard, my chocobo in healer stance keeps me alive very well, even though he is only rank 4 healer (got cure). And when I used to solo boss fates for atma as a healer, he would keep enmity pretty well in a tank stance (rank 7). Currently up to rank 9 tank. Can't wait to get Thavnairian onion!

it's my understanding from one of the duty commenced or a live letter that if you reallocate your points you lose the Paladin barding and gain the Dragoon barding in such a case. personally I think it's just more worth it to use the Thavnarian Onions to get the choco rank to 20 48k GC points is a lot of GC that could go toward something else

Any info about the breaking rank cap conditions for alternate barding?

I am in the process of leveling my choco from rank 10 to rank 11, and want to know what it will take to earn the other 2 barding choices.

Getting 48k seals is way faster and easier than getting an onion
