A (Hopefully) Comprehensive Chocobo Racing Guide

[Alexiell]

really good guide. very detailed and some info that i didnt know yet even after reading almost everything on this forum about races.

I got one question about raising the final chocobo. You said that it's best to max out a stat with grade 3 food when the difference between 500(the maximum) and your current value is a multiple of 15, so that none of the food's stat gain gets wasted. But are you sure that the random stats you get after leveling up get split between the remaining 4 attributes? I remember reading somewhere that when leveling up after maxing an attribute, any stat gains that would normally go to your maxed attribute would be wasted.

Yes.

I took data from all of my chocobo's rank-ups to come to the conclusions I did about how rank ups work.

My first G9 chocobo had five rank-ups with maxed Speed and still gained a normal five-percentage-point growth in each case. My sixth G9 chocobo had one rank-up with Speed maxed and one rank-up where both Speed and Stamina were maxed, and these were both also normal. The odds of this occurring randomly are extremely low, so I think I can say this with pretty good certainty.
