Chocobo Companions and You: A Guide

I believe Yoshi mentioned it at E3, not in the patch notes but it has been stated that you need to raise its level cap in order to get the bardings.

Thanks for this post. I've only ever levelled my Choco (called Bocco ) into the tank tree, but i think i'm gonna grab me a reagan pepper and have a go at the all rounder. I've yet to rank up to ten with him (currently working on 6 :[ ) , but this should make him a lil more useful than he is at the moment.

And yes please, to whoever posted asking for post 2.3 info, can we have some of that pretty please? xD Is choco raising/training going to be worth the time investment over just grinding ?

Gotta raise/train it in order to surpass the level cap I believe.

Where exactly in the patch notes was it mentioned? Just looked over them again and there's no mention of needing to break level cap to get the additional bardings, or reagan peppers not giving you the bardings.

Idk, but I just tested (rank 10 choco)

Put everything in defender tree, got paladin barding
used pepper
put everything in attacker tree, did not get anything

anyone able to get their chocobo over rank ? if so, does it add SP on a continually increasing basis like 1-10?

So I got my Chocobo to rank 11 today. He already has the White Mage barding, so I thought what the heck since allied seals aren't hard to get. Picked up a couple peppers and respecced him into full DPS tree, no Dragoon barding for only breaking level cap once. Back to hybrid spec!

Also, the xp gained per carrot with a Good stable rating is 14560 out of 1714000xp, which is 0.85% per session.

Feeding specialty feed after it becomes a favorite food does nothing special. Chocobo has Curiel as a favorite, training him with Curiel is the same 14560xp.

friend of mine has a rank 12 chocobo, says that you only get 10 SP for the first 2 levels...this might be bad

[ColdestHeaven]

Let's say I currently have a Chocobo with all the skills available (not rank 10, so not all of them) set on Healer. If I were to use the Pepper to set them to DPS before getting any Healer barding, or any barding at all, would that allow me to actually get the DPS barding?

[Amnesia]

The only logical thing is that it gives you the barding of the first tree in which you get the level 10 skill.

Perfect, thank you!
