Rank 10 Chocobo Barding

[LunarEmerald]

It's like 10 times faster now already with the challenge log! Why does it have to be nerfed more

With the challenge log, you get maybe 16% of a level per week. That's not really fast.

rank 9 requires 900k exp, rank 10 are 1.2 mil, rank 11 are 2 mil, for having all jobs at 10 you need atleast rank 18

it will be funny

Greetings,

During the recent Letter from the Producer LIVE XV, the new chocobo raising system was touched on a bit. You’ll be happy to know that by increasing the rank cap of your companion you’ll be able to allocate more skill points, and if you boost another role to rank 10 you’ll be able to obtain the specialized barding as well.

Also, we will be implementing means to reallocate your points so you can obtain other companion role barding in this way as well; however, you’ll have to break the rank cap and be a high enough rank to do this.

While I'm happy about the system(rank 10 dps here) I'm disappointed in the choice of name. It left my whole FC looking forward to breeding and raising chocobos. The announcement left us disappointed even though it is a nice feature. Advanced chocobo training would have been a more appropriate name.

They are not done with that system, for now it will be just training/raising, but we will be able to breed new chocobos later on, probably during/after gold saucer.

You get 15% a week, meaning you have to do far less work than people used to have, it's a very quick (15 min?) ish to get very high amounts of XP.
People did get rank 10 chocobos at 2.0.
I don't have mine yet, and I still think that it's a very massive upgrade. Unless you think it should be easily finished within a few days, then I dunno man.

If it was 15% per day then you would have a point but per week? If you just did the 15% every week then it'd take over a year to reach level 10.

And the exp isn't really that high. You can get 1500 chocobo EXP every 5 minutes or so.

Well at mob level 45-47 (Amalj'aa) you get 215 per kill, so thats ~7 (Over due to partial experience not awared) for 1500, so you can break the 5 minute mark but after about an hour of 7 a time at 3mins or under you will have 30000 choco xp gained...So I am sure you sanity will start to teeter the same way it does with atma farming.

I haven't specifically done any farming to level my Chocobo at all and he is about 35% of the way to Rank 10 from 9. I've just made sure to always use my Chocobo whenever I'm doing ANYTHING in the open world, such as Beastmen Quests, Treasure Maps, etc.

Sure it's a lot of XP, but I don't think it needs nerfing.

I'm just glad they're finally allowing us to respec - Still regretting that one Attack Skill on my Healer Choco XD

Wasn't really saying it needed one just realistic numbers. I try to have my choco out but I'm in que alot specially during beastmen quests and when I am not qued up I am usually crafting/gathering so I would actually have to devote some time to it, but if I am doing fate grinds or hunting logs I have it out.

Camate's info is way more user friendly than I originally thought it would be! I thought for sure that they would hold off on respec, and even drop it, in favor of raising a second chocobo from rank 0. Each time you wanted a piece of barding, you would have to get a new chocobo (either bred or bought when chocobo raising patch comes out) to rank 10. That means for those that originally opted for a hybrid path, they would have to rank up 3 other chocobos from rank 0-10.

Given SE's history for favor of "longevity" in the game, this sounded like the most logical option, but grats from learning their mistakes and listening to the playerbase! I know many people would rather try and farm 9 atma relic weapons than level up 3 separate chocobos from rank 0, even if you CAN measure their rank progress. XD

lol, expect the worst and you won't be disappointed, though I'm sure there will still be complaints about not enough ways to level your chocobo (need choco dungeon) or the grind from 10 to 11 is mind numbing.
