An idea for a future Class/Job

[Gath]

If anything I pray to Mab that this 'never before seen usage of chocobos' doesn't involve them being able to speak.

I can already picture a chocobo sitting on a throne in the middle of Black Shroud with a crown on his head saying "Ah good to see you old chap, how goes the adventuring?" in an olde English accent.

The image makes me cringe more than trying to eat an entire packet of Swizzles Sour Candy all at once.

A cannibalistic King Chocobo would be an awesome boss -.-;

We also need Tonberries...and the Tonberry King from FF8 x.x; bastard was hard to kill.

I approve of this and concur that your 1 gil is worth more than my 1 gil. I put more value in crystals and shards tbh, they take much longer to gain in large amounts.

However I would still like the Chocobo Breeder and Hunter class/job to BE a class/job, as it would have purpose and provide motivation to do for people who wanted to do it, plus it would fit snuggly in with the games class/job armory system, plus it would take just as long to level up as other gathering + crafting classes, so it may as well be one.

If you remember FFXI's breeding system, it was horrendous, it took A LOT of time, money, and profanity to get the perfect chocobo for what you want, color, stamina, speed, digging, etc....We need bird digging in XIV... Philosopher Stones were an amazing thing to get in large quantities....

I never played FFXI passed level 10 so I don't remember really.

The idea I came up with in this thread though would cost about as much to do as any other craft.
It could also possibly result in a better spending > profit yield than other crafts do, depending on how much time you choose to spend doing it. Even if you didn't spend a lot of time in it though it could still result in a fair amount of profit.

Plus the detail contained in the original posts explain how the system could operate at much the same difficulty as other crafts do, so 'hopefully' it wouldn't result in a large amount of wasted time, money and profanity.

Well, breeding a bird in XI was time consuming, not only did it take 30 irl days for the bird to hatch, you also had to find bird combinations to get your color you wanted, as well as stats to make the bird "better" So you have a 6 month ordeal on your hands to possibly make the best chocobo you can.

Ah.

Nope, the system I created in this thread could have you breeding awesomesauce chocobos within a month, possibly even a week or two if you spent a lot of time on it.

It also features more 'guaranteed' methods of achieving colour and stats, as well as a few spangly extras.

Y'know it would be easier to communicate the scope of the idea I posted on this thread to you, if you'd just go back and read the original posts.

However I get the feeling your response to that would be something like:
"I do not need to because I am awesome enough to know what it is already,
my 1 gil is worth more than your 1 gil
/10char"

Right?

Correct about the gil, but the only thing i have against it is it taking within a month, having it take "longer" makes it more rewarding when you actually get it, it also separates those who want an epic choco to those who really just don't give a shit.

My 1 gil is worth more than your 1 gil.
