Make our Lvl 11+ Chocobos Stronger!

[Chiramu]

I think for the amount of effort to get to level 20 the following should be given:

1) A really cool, unique barding (Getting the other two specialty bardings is lame)
2) The Chocobo should get a special skill that is on cooldown and used like the SMN pet specials. ie. Chocobo Flare
3) The Chocobo should get the ability to turn into Bahamut, fly you around on its back, and one-shot S ranks.

Not only is it a long grind to level 20 Chocobo but it is also a very long process to acquire the fruit to feed him to unlock higher levels (I still haven't got mine, plus after the long gardening grind you only receive ONE fruit). There does need to be more achievement in levelling past 10.

Suddenly, leveling him past 10 just got a whole lot less appealing. Mine is only Rank 9, but this certainly makes me question effort vs. reward when it comes to getting those elusive onions and leveling him more.

Whats even more sad is the only way to level past 10 is stables or grinding out mobs since you no longer get exp bonus from Challenge log. If a SE rep can entertain me as to why there is no exp bonus for doing the challenge log after level 10, it would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I didn't stable my chocobo since I wasn't in an fc at the time I reached rank 10 so I couldn't stable it and feed it the onions to bump up the cap.

Wait, seriously? That's absurd D:

I don't have a problem with the Challenge Log for chocobos past rank 10. I just collected my bonus 450k~ exp from the challenge log today.

It'll show as 0 exp in the challenge log if you have stabled, but it will correct display once you take it out, if that's what you are referring to.

This is just completely and utterly wrong and you should feel bad for spreading this incorrect information. I did challenge log last night on my rank 10 chocobo and got 200k exp from it.

They should have the Chocobo scale off of your gear or allow us to use gear on the chocobo. Or at the very least, let its potency attacks scale off our equipped weapon.

what food do you feed or quest to raise the lv 10 cap?

Thavnarian ( not sure about the spelling) Onion. One onion allows you to train it up to the next rank so you'll need 10 to get it to rank 20 and they cost over a million gil each on many servers I think. It's a long and difficult process to grow them and there is no other way of getting them.

They have to come from somewhere though. I guess, without looking up a cross breed or xivdb item, that the seeds are from cross plants or a map drop?
