Rank 10 Chocobo Barding

[Felis]

Why can't we have the pet commands for the chocobo? guard, heel, stay, steady place, sic and obey.

A "stand here" command is all what it need. Obey would be worthless, because you can't activate the choco skills yourself.
The problem with healer stance is that the chocobo don't have a target and because of that it is in the "follow me" mode.

Sucks this is behind a ginormous pay wall. The only FC houses left on Excalibur are FIFTY EIGHT MILLION GIL.

Choco respec cost only seals.

they could change that to allow us use them and to drag and drop the skills we want used most to hotbars like we can with pets.
or heck they could even make a companion hotbar like the pet hotbar.
not sure how hard it would be but somehow I doubt it would be terribly difficult.

Regarding Chocobo barding there is a set # limit to how many you can have tho. And you cannot remove any of them once you obtain them. So either SE has a set # of bardings they plan to make or people are going to have to sacrifice not getting certain bardings when cap is reached or SE will have to increase the cap # of bardings you can have.

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.

This is amazing news. I want the whm barding so bad yay !

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.

Does anyone have any additional information on this? What is the maximum number of allowed bardings?

^^^ This. I'd like to obtain all 3 sets of barding, is this possible?

Edit: Specifically the rank 10 bardings.

In 2.3 they updated the companion interface to show the barding limit. The maximum is 50.

it is possible once you have all the skills in all 3 skill trees provided you have not reached the barding limit of 50

So just to clarify - If I allocated all my points into Tank and obtained the Paladin Barding and then reallocated my points into full attacker (still rank 10), I will not obtain the Dragoon Barding until my Chocobo is rank 20?
