Was playing P4 the past weekend and was frustrated by the fact that I couldn't ride my Legacy Chocobo or even my Goobbue even on my 44 Dragoon. Is there a new quest in the game that I have to complete to access mounts or were they just deactivated during the beta?
Couldn't use mounts during P4?

You have to use the item "goobbue horn" and "chocobo whistle" at which point it disappears from your inventory and the corresponding icon appears in your "mounts" tab under the abilities and traits menu. You can equip those icons to your hotbar and simply click them to mount/dismount. If you have done that much and still are unable to call your mounts then there may be a problem. I don't remember if you need to do a story quest up to a certain level to unlock chocobos, however that may very well be the case.

Also take note that until you use the chococo whistle you can't actually ride any other mount.
That's because you only get access to your mounts after the L21 quest wherein you join a Grand Company and can then buy a chocobo issuance, which gives you the whistle.
Thus, without having used the whistle first, no mounts. -

The problem was if I tried to use them it would give me the error, "Not authorized." It didn't matter on what class or level I tried to use them it would still give me the same error. I had not yet joined a Grand Company.Quote:

08-24-2013, 09:11 AMDeeBeePMaybe, I had stopped playing 1.0 while in the middle of the initial GC quests which you do for each one but never picked a GC. If thats the case then I'll just hop on my Dragoon and do the GC quest in ARR first thing in the morning.Quote:

GC quests a little more involved now, DeeBeeP, they're now the L21~ Main Quest, joining a GC that is

im just posting because OP's main looks very very close to mine
-
08-24-2013, 09:18 AMDeeBeePHow involved? I already finished the initial story quest and got my Airship Pass in P4 and I can't imagine it taking more than an hour or two running through on my Dragoon.Quote:

If I remember correctly from phase 3, you need to defeat Ifrit and then you are sent to each City to watch some CS's then you go back to Minfilia and choose which GC you want to join.

I already finished the story quests up until level 20 on a separate class. Can I join the first dungeons through duty finder as a high level class or do I have to use a class of the appropriate level? Are the dungeons low enough level that I can just solo them as a 44 DRG? Is the Ifrit fight intended to be a group fight? Can I use the duty finder for it? Can I solo Ifrit as a 44 DRG?
-

All those requirements are Main Quest quests, actually. There are three quests, each asking you to go to a dungeon and kill the boss (dungeon can be entered only through the Duty Finder and is level-capped).
The Ifrit fight is also a storyline fight, quite a fair bit weaker than the actual for-rewards fight, it's a L20 group battle, it's also level-capped and can be entered through the duty finder. -
08-24-2013, 11:21 AMDeeBeeP
So I can't just walk in the door of Tam Tara and do it myself? Can I level-sync my DRG through duty finder or do I have to use say my 20 Archer or Marauder?
-
08-24-2013, 11:25 AMSkies
Can definitely level-synch your character, doesn't matters what class you use to complete it

Thank goodness! Looks like I will be rather busy before I can ride my Legacy Chocobo tomorrow morning. Thumbs for all your help good sir!

I had this problem too, it was kinda frustrating.

interesting, i do remember during P4 i grabbed my legacy whistle, used it, and summoned my chocobo shortly after outside of town. i used the goobbue horn during P3, but that wasn't saved...

08-24-2013, 04:24 PMJinkoYou still owned a GC mount in 1.0 though.Quote:

Was going to make a new thread, but apparently I'm locked from that. Anyway, I finished the GC quest, and have my chocobo. I can summon it and ride it all I like.
However, when I try to summon it to fight beside me, I get a red message saying "Action not yet learned". I have 50 Gysahl Greens in my bag. Any idea as to what I need to do in order to fully use my chocobo? -

There is a further quest that is higher than level 20 for that, Boom
