Balmung Server (maybe XIV) First: Rank 20 Chocobo?

[Kinjin]

Nope. No special barding. At least not yet. There's no achievement for it either.

All the server/connection instabilities last night? That was the system trying to cope with a Rank 20 Chocobo. Infrastructure maintenance tonight has the added task of implementing adding the achievement, special barding, and a special choco color scheme just for this. It's happening waaay ahead of the scheduled timetable, datacenters are chaos over this.

Yep. That's exactly what happened. xD

Full parties if you can. Either Urth's gift by the water sprites, or where DD is the most effective. If you can get a full party to do it with you, you can do 3 quint-pulls where Dark Devices spawns, making each mob worth about 360-400 xp per kill.

if you let other people pull and help killing the mobbs from outside their group you can earn up to 500+ exp per water elemental

more ppl in a group means more links, but also decreased base exp for everyone. Most ppl in a group have no clue about -how to get links- which makes 8 ppl groups a pain the most time and sometimes even worse then solo farming

lazy way: leave it in your FC stable and hope your FC members feed it a lot and feed it on your own

active way: take it with you when you do beast tribe quests, FATES or spiritbonding. The strongholds are a nice place to level, Urth's gift in South Shroud Water Exegons is a good way for both spiritbindong and Choccobo levelling. Also the Agenda is nice for levelling. Defeat 100 enemies at your level with your Choccobo grants lots of EXP.

I do actually have one question. I finally hit rank 10 last night and fed my choco a thav onion in order to start working on rank 11. Can I just feed it more thav onions to keep increasing the cap or do I have to wait until I'm actually on the highest rank I can be to feed it one more?

For instance: I am rank 10 with xp into 11. Can I feed it it 9 thav onions right now just to get that part of it out of the way and be maxed at a cap of 20? Or do I have to wait until I'm actually rank 11 to break into the rank 12 barrier?

Hope that makes sense :\

And, thanks!
