Chocobo companion utility and chocobo dailies

[NoRyoKu]

Levelling a chocobo now is a pain in the ass, takes you like 1 million years and is worth praticly nothing. BUT here is some suggestion to make it worth.

1 - In future patch, SE mention chocobo breeding, chocobo racing so make it necessary to level you chocobo to lvl 10 so you can race with the best chocobo.

Ex. : A lvl 10 choco would beat a lvl 9 choco in a race.
Ex. : you would be able to breed a chocobo with better stats if u mate chocobos of lvl 10. etc.. etc...

2 - To lessen the burden of levelling a chocobo the way it is now, add chocobo dailies that would provide a BIG xp bonus for the chocobo. It could be similar to the beastman dailies and unveil so back stories of chocobos

It would make the chocobo super usefull for future chocobo content and people would start lvling them What do u think?

I love the chocobo but honestly, for the impact it has, the limited use it's allowed, and the painfully slow progression, I've all but given up on having them as anything but a mount. A breeding mini-game sounded interesting but having seen SE's approach to other new elements and the tendency to make them cost prohibitive for a "fun" element or to add in time gating mechanics, I'm frankly not looking forward to it being added at all now.

They should significantly lower the amount of exp needed to level up a chocobo. It's ridiculous at how slow it is.

100k+ exp needed per level and you gain 200 exp per kill. Seriously, Square, seriously?

I would love for a breeding system like FFXI where we could cross breed for different colors with other players.

I think they first need to give them more meaning and depth before they work anything else. Companions are a great odea but they're completely under-utilized. SE should finish the system as it has so much potential.

haha if you only you knew that to go from rank 9 to 10 it requires 1 200 000 exp. Yes, 1.2 mil. I'm only half way through D:

For racing I think SE can do it like in PvP.
With each race the Chocobo earn points. With the points the player can buy racing skills which can then be activated once during a race.
The racing skills can boost as example the speed and stamina. An activated speed skill use more stamina then the normal run. If all stamina is used, the Chocobo get the gravity debuff.

Basis stamina can be based on the Chocobo rank. So a rank 9 Chocobo have less basis stamina than a rank 10 Chocobo but can still win if the player use stamina and speed skills wise.
