rank 10 chocobo barding and respec.

So I hear we're getting a chocobo respec ability, and I even hear it might come in 2.1

Can we get official word on what respecing means for rank 10 barding?

Say I have a rank 10 healer chocobo with the whm barding and I decide I'd prefer a tank chocobo instead. When I respec will I lose my whm barding, and it be replaced with the tank barding? Or will we receive the tank barding in addition to the whm barding? Will we be able to equip the whm barding on a tank specced chocobo if so? Or will we not even receive the new specs barding?

I'd like to eventually get all three barding types so I can have drg whm tank and eventually the subscription reward blm barding.

It is not confirmed that it come with 2.1
What we know is, they are working on it.

I suppose that may suggest they don't know what respeccing means for barding yet. but if they do it'd be nce to get a word on it.

Or....as cruel as this may be...give us the option to euthanize our Chocobos.

O.o



o.O

I don't have rank 10 barding so this is half guessing, half question:

When you "unlock" the barding, is it forced onto your chocobo or is there an option to put on individual pieces? If it's the latter (selected) then I'm strongly inclined to believe the barding will stay on as long as you do not change it. When swapping GCs for minions I found I could keep my old company barding (Maelstrom barding while in Flames, for example) as long as I didn't take it off. If I do, I have to change back to Maelstrom to access it.

yeah u can swap em around

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that chocobo raising might come into play on this somehow.

I imagine chocobo raising isn't gonna be here any time soon. otoh, respecing our chocobo's needs to be here soon.

Am I right in saying that because I didn't know about the unique Chocobo barding until a few weeks ago, and have already put points into attack and healing abilities; my Chocobo (as it is now) will never get barding as I can't fill an ability tree with the potential points I would have left at full rank?

I never realized we had to max out a role to get the barding, so I also put in 1 point in DPS.

For that reason, I've left my Chocobo at Rank 2. There's just no point even calling her out.

I wish they just give us a way to reset all points and ranks in 2.1.
It's ridiculous that 1 bad choice could remove a whole section of "content" from an MMORPG.
This game is great, but there's are badly thought out (sometimes not thought out at all) designs and half-finished work all over the place.

You are correct. You are out of luck until they release a respec option. They really dropped the ball on that imo. They shouldve either given players the barding of whatever tree they put the most points in or given some form of advisery that hybridizing your build was going to ruin your chances of getting the special barding.

When I got 10th rank. The barding didnt show up until i picked 10 SP for last tree, it showed up there(didnt gave me item or anything, it just show up with rest of list where you look at for pick @ Barding to equip). So pretty safe to say that you only can get one barding. But it might be trick like switching the company thing.
