[dev1137] Caravan Security

[Bayohne]

Got a few extra details to answer some of the questions that were presented here, and elsewhere. Sorry for the delay in getting these details for you all.

Is there a level requirement to take part in caravan security detail and will the enemies’ strength vary based on your level?

Disciples of War & Magic level 25 and up that have pledged their allegiance to a Grand Company can participate. The enemies’ strength will not change depending on the player's level.

Can you enter as a party?

Yep, it is possible to enter as a party. Caravan security will function the same way as Behest and allow up to four players to participate at once. Caravan security sessions will take place every 15 minutes.

Will the number of players involved affect the number of enemies that appear or their strength?

The number of players involved will not affect the number of enemies or the strength of the enemies. The content may be very difficult to solo.

It has been noted that a chocobo's HP can be recovered by providing their favorite food, but where can this food be purchased, and what does it cost?

Chocobo food will be sold by vendor NPCs in each city-state and the caravan security reception NPC. There will also be other methods to acquire this food!

How do you give food to a distressed chocobo?

When you select the chocobo, a command is displayed, and you can choose to provide them with food from the displayed menu.

Can you take part in caravan security with a player who is affiliated with a different Grand Company?

Nope, you won’t be able to join in the operation with a member of a different Grand Company. Also, you will only be able to take part in caravan security from the aetheryte associated with your Grand Company’s city-state. For example, only members of Ul'dah's Immortal Flames can join the caravan security operation in Camp Horizon.

Will you receive EXP from defeating enemies?

Yep.

Thanks for taking the time to pop in and kick all the Culinarians in the crotch again. We appreciate it.

I would say Gysahl Green is more a botanist thing than a culinarian thing.

On my server that translates into, only people in Ul'dah will be doing these.
