What stuff was exclusive to 1.0?

The Chocobo escort missions were the original way to get the Chocobo Mask too. Level 35 with good stats for the level (Ignoring magey defence stats), used by all classes. It's basically the same exact item for the Racing Chocobo Mask, minus the stats. Achievement based item as well.

I completely forgot about that, despite looking for where you could get the mask earlier this year and being disappointed that I would have to do chocobo breeding instead.
Turns out getting a pedigree 9 chocobo was actually pretty fun, oddly enough one of the most in-depth systems this game has.

Originally you had to wait 6 hours for them to breed once. Doing it when it was brand new content it took 1/4 of a day just to get the result from one attempt. It was brutal. Thankfully they changed it.
