[dev1082] THE Mount System / Chocobo Tribute

[Esthar]

d.) "Shepherd" Class & The Different Licenses

There might be one class (let's stick to the rumors and call it "Shepherd") that determines your allowed level of interaction with the Chocobo.

There might be various licenses for each segment, to determine how far you have advanced yet..! Instead of 1 license, I envision something like 20+. Something like this:

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Shepherd Rank 1 - Treasure Hunt
License: Enables you to undertake the quest for "Chocobo Treasure Hunt" which rewards the Basic License.

Takes place in a Chocobo stable at first, due to the lack of skills to take the Chocobo out into the open world. A mini-game like Crafting / Gathering.
Might reward materials very randomly (not random in quantity, but random in type). Might be moderately hard, to give a feeling of hustle, grind and finally exctatic happiness.

Advancing the license:
Is linked to the achievements system that's on the Lodestone right now, takes your achievements you achieve on a Chocobo and notes them somewhere for you to get ranked higher the next time you visit the head of the Chocobo Stable.

Examples for advancing the license:
- Do 500 Treasure Hunts.
- Do 1000 Treasure Hunts.
- Hit 3 epic finds.

At Rank 1, you can acquire EXP by:
Hunting Treasures
