Sharing Chocobo Companion's observations

[rubina]

So far I'm liking the Chocobo Companion. The only down side is that I can't use another mount type while it's out so I have to sprint around a lot. I was hoping to see if other players can share their Chocobo Companion experiences and playing tips? I also had a few questions and I was hoping to find some answers for.

1. Can we respec the Chocobo ability points?
2. Is all the Chocobo barding slots just for decoration?
3. What is the best way to level your Chocobo?
4. Is there an actual Attack command or Guard me?
5. Are Gyshal Greens harvestable?
6. Does your Chocobo Companion sometimes stops fighting?

Would like to know these things myself.

Thought i was going to get my chocobo last night, then i noticed that they up'd the amount of points needed from 1k to 2k. I'll have to make it a priority on my list of stuff to do tonight. Would also like to see the answers to these questions.

Great, looking forward in seeing your results.

how do we make our chocobo as companion? didnt know they could fight, i just ride him

I remember reading a dev post that said the chocobo barding are just for decoration because they didn't want people to not use a particular barding set they liked because it didn't give the stats they wanted.

According to my Gathering Log, Gyshal Greens are no longer on the list. Was hoping to go out and farm a few stacks.

From what I've been reading around, it looks like our all purpose Chocobo companion unlocks after this quest;

Location: Camp Tranquil
Level: L.30
Quest Name: My Feisty Little Chocobo
NPC: Docette

1. Can we respec the Chocobo ability points?

I wanted to point out, when I did quest and read helpful tip for it. It said once you pick point, it will be undone.
So I assume no. However.. I have a feeling that, we can have more than one chocobo to train for, Since breeding chocobo will coming soon right? Perhaps we could just have one chocobo for each and swap them when we needed to? This is just my guessing.

Get to 30 level, then go to Camp Tranquil (spell?) And get Chocobo feisty quest. That will unlock it.

I haven't used my companion yet, I actually was wondering if theres a quest that starts it or if i just need the greens?

Read the post just before your reply. You can purchase the greens from a vendor at each capital city.

1. No idea yet.
2. Yes.
3. Killing mobs is the only way, they do not benefit from quest xp.
4. Basically, put it in the stance you want it to preform. I keep mine in the standard form so it uses abilities from all 3 specs.
5. Not that I know of.
6. Very rarely, just hit the stance button again to get it fighting.

I wish they would make it easier to mount, instead of dismissing it than mounting....
