    choco ranking - fastest way to rank?

    Any solid info on ranking up chocobos'?

    Is it better to rank them while leveling solo with a low level class, or grind them with a level 50 while spiritbinding?

    I mean don't get me wrong spiritbonding while ranking a chocobo is the most lucrative method, but I'm wondering what the fastest method is, because chocobo ranking has to be the most painful slog in the game.

    Anyone with Rank 10 chocobos have any input?

    My Choco is only rank 4, but I did find the only way I could get any good leveling out of him was rampaging through zones my level.

    One saving grace was leveling new classes with the Helm of Light on. But that only works to level 10, which is only 30 minutes of gameplay. However staying in areas meant for my level and just killing everything in sight has been the one way I have seen my Choco's XP bar move.

    The only "fastest way" to level them is do absolutely nothing but grind. Whether it's a low level character and you get chains on them or a high level character with beastmen tribes/pirates there's really not anything more than that. If you want gil though while doing it I'd highly suggest spiritbonding while killing things.

    If you're not 50 (or a fresh not so well geared 50), target things your lvl or slightly stronger and take advantage of the chain bonus. It's better yet if you can get friends to go along with it since you're going to kill things that much faster.

    If you have a 50 that's very well geared, you'll get exp far faster just chewing through mobs even if you can't take advantage of the chain.

    Just have to sink in the time.

    For example, rank seven to eight takes around sixteen to eighteen hours of pure level 50 grind.

    I've been making FATE groups with 3 other people, then letting everyone use their chocobo's. Look for an Archer/Bard if you can and enjoy Swiftsonging your way to each FATE without spamming the summon and dismiss keys for your chocobo lol.

    Currently half way into rank 4. I hope 2.1 can help and I'll run dungeons with it out?
