Rank 10 Chocobo Reached!

[BlazeChronic]

You can see very clearly that this is not the case for passives by stacking multiple +HP% passive buffs from more than one stance and observing the corresponding spike in your Chocobo's HP value.

... but passives stack across stances.

Pics/vid or it didn't happen. I'm not risking gimping my choco to test this.

Look in the OP.

At timestamp ~5:50 he has hit Rank 10 and picks a HP boost from the Attacker Tree, his Chocobo (in Healer Stance at the time) immediately gains the benefit of it.

The OP initially has a +10% HP trait from the Defender Tree, and a +5% HP trait from the Healer Tree.
This puts him at 2235 HP (115% base if all traits stack)
So his Chocobo's base HP is potentially 2235/1.15 = 1943.478 HP

He then picks a +5% HP trait from the Attacker Tree.
This puts him at 2332 HP (120% base if all traits stack)
2332/1.2 = 1943.333 HP

Proof Positive.

-----------------------

You can even try it yourself:

Have you got any HP traits in your current chocobo, in any stance tree? (the first one is Rank #3 in each of the three trees)

Yes? Good.
Check the number on its HP bar.

Now put the chocobo into a stance that doesn't have the HP trait on its corresponding tree.
Check the number on its HP bar again.

If HP traits weren't active across stances, those would be different numbers.

Is there a way to reset the points spent? Mines only rank 2 atm but wanting to know for future use.

Maelwys, thank you for intelligently destroying all the doubt in this thread. You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks dude!

Unfortunately, still no point resetting going on. Maybe this is intentional with future chocobo breeding, but who knows.

No worries, with very few people investing heavily into Chocobo raising at the moment there's a lot of misinformation and rumor floating about!
I'm hoping for a bit of a rebalance whenever Player Housing/Chocobo Breeding is patched in and people start looking at them more closely.
I'd love to be able to trigger abilities manually via macro or equip things to boost their stats. But I'm REALLY hoping that we eventually become able to take them into certain dungeons...

(Also I'd say I'm more of an amateur Arcanist than a Scholar - I don't even have the Job Crystal unlocked yet...)

Congrats! How many hours did you grind?

Congrats! How many hours did you grind?

The last level was around 30 hours, 8-9 was around 20, 7-8 maybe... 6, the rest were under five each. So overall, maybe 75??

Is killing random mobs the ONLY way to earn companion experience...? No shared quest experience or anything...? Because that seems very tiresome.
