So I've already got to level 44 and I'd like to breed my female chocobo, but I find very confusing the way the game explains how I have to proceed.
Supposedly, I need to first retire my female chocobo, and then...buy a covering permision G9F or G9M...? And then go to Central Shroud?
Confused about covering chocobos...

First, you get your chocobo to RANK 40 or higher, then you retire it and you receive a certificate. From there, my understanding is you get a cover permission and then take that with your certificate to bentbranch meadows and talk to the chocobo people there to breed.

Question....as the patch notes say "covering can be arranged between two of your own retired chocobos, or between one retired chocobo and a breeding chocobo hired at the Manderville Gold Saucer."......so, let's say I have a F choco and want to cross her with a buddy/FC friend M choco....you can't, right?....isn't it odd?.....you kinda take the mmo aspect out of it...
Well, on the other hand I think it could be this way to prevent ppl from "renting" their Chocobos as breeding stallions for gil.... -

As of patch 2.51, it will be possible to breed with chocobos you have raised and retired yourself, or you can breed with chocobs made available in exchange for Manderville Gold Saucer points. For a future update, we are drawing up plans to make it possible to breed your chocobos with other players’ chocobos.

Ok, I retired my female chocobo and got a G1-F registration paper...now I guess I need to get a male registration paper...however, does it need to be G1 also or going for a G2-9 male chocobo would be more optimal?

Wait... How do you get a second chocobo if not from breeding? If you can't then... Either it's a parent or sibling of the chocobo ....

02-26-2015, 04:56 AMGarlyleYou are apparently able to rent breeding partners in-game if you don't have a second one yourself.Quote:

Yes, but even if you rent a breeding chocobo the first time... Then breed your own chocobos together after... Your chocobos will always be related Unless you can purchase a second chocobo.

02-26-2015, 05:07 AMmonochromicornI would never consider this....I *never* had plans to do this exact thing with all pedigree levels, each one being more expensive than the last.... what cruel person would sell their chocobos ?Quote:

You can buy another one at bentbranch. But will it let you with one retired? Since im not quite high enough to do it yet. Wondering how many you are allowed to have retired at once. My plan is to get my first male to 40 and retire him. get a female to 40 and retire her then breed them.... But now im wondering what happens to the retired ones after breeding. do we just end up with a stable full of retired chocos for breeding? Can I mate the offspring with its parent? :/

What pisses me off is if I end up spending the 6k required for a grade 9 male chocobo only for the game to tell me I need a grade 1. Seriously this should be explained...

02-26-2015, 05:18 AMmonochromicornYou didn't waste it, put it up on a retainer and use it when You get that grade pedigree chocobo for your ownQuote:

retire your chocobo
then from the tack and feed merchant in chocobo square you can buy a covering permission slip
take the slip you recieved when you retired your choco
and the slip you bought
to the bentbranch meadows
talk to the covering lady and hand her both slips and confirm the process
it will take a day or two to breed
from there just pick up your new baby on the appointed day -

Maybe she bought it for Her chocobo's sex instead of the chocobo sex her chocobo needs to mate with?

I have retired my first Chocobo female and i have bought a male to breed her with (I bought a G2) was not sure. I am wondering if i begin to race a new chocobo will i still be able to pick up the baby when it is done and do we have a few choices of chocobo to race with? Example the baby one i will be getting and another one i registered while waiting?
