Will there ever be an easier way to level up your chocobo?

I do not ask them to be party member replacement. I just ask them to be something like Emerald Carbuncle, something that can help you but not to the point of replacing party member. In fact, make them act just like a Topaz Carbuncle minus enmity generation and I'm very happy. Controlling chocobo is a dream I wish can come true.

If the concern is bots, simply remove chocobo altogether. It will reduce headcahe in SE's part. Allow chocobo bardings to be obtained elsewhere, such as obtaining your role's relic, for example.

My Chocobo just got to rank 6 this morning! And while it is slow going, I don't mind. Its a long term goal with a very cool reward. On my sever I've only ever seen a chocobo rank 10 barding once, its a very rare item to have and really sets you apart. Some goals in the game should be quickly attainable and others should take awhile, this is one that takes a little longer.

I've never leveled an arcanist so I don't have anything to compare the Chocobo to, but I find my Chocobo fits the bill exactly. He's not as good as player healer, but when I'm soloing fates he makes a world of difference keeping my health up.
