So, in my random adventures I've noticed twice players riding Chocobo's with black tipped feathers (they are usually brown tipped). I tried to /tell this person and it said the person could not receive the /tell and when I tried to add them as a friend It said the player did not exist. That was strange, but what I really want to know is what barding is available that makes the tips black? Is this something you can get now? Anyone know or seen what I'm talking about?

Black tipped feathers should be the legacy chocobo really, don't think there's any barding or anything that change the colour of the feathers.

I believe what you are seeing is a legacy chocobo. This was a mount given to legacy players that paid a subscription during 1.0. I have one on my alt which was made on a non-legacy server. So legacy players that rerolled or made an alt on a new server would have this mount. No barding is available for it atm, but can tell it is a legacy chocobo for sure by looking for a tattoo on its beak.

I love the Legacy chocobos because their wings aren't restricted by the dumb grand company side-flaps.
When my Legacy chocobo jumps, her wings flap :D -
10-04-2013, 12:43 AMLstkawsIt's definitely my favorite mount.Quote:

10-04-2013, 02:52 AMInaacaYes, but we're talking about the Legacy chocobos, which are the former GC chocobos that 1.0 players got before the calamity. So all the Legacy chocobos are male.Quote:

10-04-2013, 03:49 AMLstkawsIt is kind of funny that my GC chocobo has the name I gave it in 1.0; not my legacy. Of course that is reading entirely too much into it.Quote:

I think of my chocobo as female, and thus is female.

10-04-2013, 04:30 AMEnkidohActually, this isn't entirely correct, as I never actually joined a Grand Company in 1.0 and hence never had a personal chocobo until ARR, yet I still started with the Legacy chocobo because I had Legacy status - there's no real lore explanation for it really. The in-game description just seems to be a kind of throwaway reference that's not meant to be thought about too much.Quote:
