I did it, after tens if not a hundred hours, I've reached Rank 10 Chocobo.
Is it a server first? Maybe.. a World First? Maybe.. Who knows. If you have one already, then please link your lodestone so the date shows. I haven't heard of anyone reaching this yet.

I'll be posting a youtube video once it uploads with some tips and experiences with the different trees etc.
Finally, Rank 10 Chocobo Achieved! Diabolos Server First?

the million dollar question is.
HOW DID YOU DO IT?
seriously -
10-17-2013, 04:06 AMOmegaXtcLeveled to 50. AoE grinded Doblyns just north of bluefog for weeks while waiting for AK queues to pop. Partied up with others when they would let me have him out. Basically during any downtime I had him out burning mobs at bluefog. Bluefog in particular because you have to repair at least 400 times while leveling due to XP beating on your gear, and bluefog is right there.Quote:

Congrats on your achievement in a virtual world? You are now cool I guess? I always find it funny when people get so excited about stuff like this on a video game. Their lives must be SO AWESOME. ^^

Duration of chocobo increases from 30 minutes (rank 1) to 15 minutes (rank 10). Wait a minute... that's not an increase...

10-18-2013, 09:01 PMOmegaXtcHey man, sorry so slow to respond. Hit my response cap yesterday. The bird refreshes the buff on himself about 10 secs after it falls off, so I doubt there's an internal cooldown. Confirmed in both free and healer stance.Quote:

I definitely want Rank #3 Defender (+10% HP Trait) and Rank #4 Attacker (DoT Attack). I was operating under the impression that the +20% Slow Weaponskill from Rank #4 Defender would beat the Rank #7 Healer's +30% Healing in terms of mitigation over time, but it sounds like the Healer option could have a slight edge even if we're not fighting more than one enemy!!
Now I have to figure out if I prefer giving up +15% Crit (Rank #6 Attacker) for +20% Slow (Rank #4 Defender) or vice-versa. Drat... :p
Thanks for the info! :) -
10-19-2013, 04:16 AMResoluteI think the confusion is stemming from the fact that you said you were leveling him by grinding mobs near camp bluefrog while waiting for AK queues to pop.Quote:

It is a combat pet after all, why can't we queue for dungeons with it out - and have it be automatically dismissed when we enter the dungeon?
In Rift we're able to queue for dungeons solo, join any sort of party, and still be in the queue. -

Hi,
I didn't know about the Rank 10 bardings until just recently. I had previously used up 6 SPs on the first three levels on Healer. However, after seeing the bardings, I really want the Attacker/Dragoon Barding. Don't think that it's possible now considering it's capped at Rank 10. So for those who split up their SPs won't get a Barding? :( -
11-15-2013, 08:34 PMMaelwysNot until they release Respecs (it IS coming, but it might take a while, we're all kind of hoping it makes it into patch 2.1!)Quote:

11-16-2013, 01:38 AMsaber_altergoing to reiterate this: you get a choco barding by investing sp in only one tree (so full healer, full tank, full DD)Quote:

11-16-2013, 03:10 AMKairgonJust want to say this is true. When i got 10th rank it didnt showed up until i spend 10 SP into last tree of Attacker, a barding showed up.Quote:

Not world first someone on Excalibur has had their lvl 10 whm chocobo for 1-2 weeks now sitting in mor dhona. I am sure across servers there are probably a few more some people don't even post on forums. Perhaps server though.
Congrats though takes a long time for that achievement! be proud! -

Incidentally, in case anyone's missed it, we're meant to be getting the option to issue text commands and use macros with our companions in Patch 2.1... and they're also supposed to be fixing the Duty-Finder queue issue at some point!! :D -
11-18-2013, 02:08 AMRhainedBetter for what? grinding weak ass mobs?:PQuote:
