Chocobo not getting xp from beast man quests

I've always had my chocobo out during beast man quests, and I'm sure he used to get xp. I've just noticed that he now isn't getting any. Has something changed? Or did I imagine him getting xp from it before?
For info, he's not capped, we are doing the kojin quests and I'm only level 63.
Thank you :)

He should get exp from enemies you kill
He don't get exp from quest reward.

He's not getting any from the enemies I kill :/ i thought he should. Thanks for replying :)

What level is your Chocobo by chance? Once you get to right before level 11 your bird will stop gaining xp until you feed them a Thavnairian Onion. You will need to feed them one every level to let them keep gaining xp. You can get them up to level 20 I believe.

He's 16 and only halfway through his level so I know it's not that

Hmm no idea then. Only other thing I could think of is the mob is too low level to gain xp from but if you're doing the SB beast tribes and you're level 63 that shouldn't be the case.

The mobs need to be within a couple levels of you for chocobo exp to apply.
Not sure how synced quests work in this regard.

Kojin quests should sync to your current level so assuming you get proper credit for the kill, the bird should absolutely get exp. My bird gets exp from Ananta quest kills and I'm all 70s.
My best guess is that maybe other people are in the area and helping you kill the mobs, so it doesn't count as your kill? Maybe it dies before the bird manages to 'tag' it. Something along those lines

Disregard this reply, misread original post.

It's because the quest mobs don't give exp period. You'll notice you don't get any either even on a class below 70.

There is just me and him, no one else is around :/ this is what I'm not understanding. He should be getting xp, but isn't.

Can confirm, I misremembered, bird not getting exp. They tick for the weekly challenges tho, that's why I keep the birb out

Chocobos don't get XP of from beast man quest if the quest is adjusted to your current level in some areas. However they will get xp if any random mob is killed. What they get is kill mob count towards weekly challenge. IF choco is maxed and haven't used onion to break limit it will also not gain XP.

As far I remember, theys also don't count in the Chocobo agenda.

For getting exp for the Chocobo, the enemies should be 10 levels lower than your level. 10 levels lower than you counts for the agenda.

If beast tribes mobs give exp generally that I don't know but if they are 10 levels lower than you, they'll count for the agenda (Gnath (lvlsync 60), Vanu (lvlsync 60), Kojin and Ananta).

A good way to hit the counts for agenda is to kill mobs (if level 70) around Castrum Oriens or participate at Fates with many mobs (since you get leveled down).
Mob exp is to low to level your Chocobo since level 4. The best ways are the weekly Agenda with a 5% exp for 20 enemies and 10% for 100 and the stables with 1% (or was it 2%?) through feeding.

And mentioned by others: at level 10 you'll need and onion for the next one.
