    Please Add A New Chocobo Barding When Reaching Level 20

    I am finally close to getting my Chocobo to level 20. By then I shall have all 3 bardings (Paladin, Dragoon & White Mage). At the end though, there really isn't any achievement related to getting you Bo to level 20. I thought it would be best to adding a final barding only for those who hit 20 to show the world you've maxed out your Bo. I would recommend a Warrior barding since he pretty much is a complete warrior bird in the sense of its definition. A Chocobo barding of the Artifact Gear would be really cool especially with the helmet with the visor down. What do y'all think?

    Having all 3 IS the reward. And the ability to mix and match head, body, legs, is a way to prove you earned all three.

    If you want more out of it, wait, like the rest of us, for the level cap to be raised.

    The Rank 20 Chocobo is EXTREMELY overpowered in Heavensward content at level 60. Huge dps, spamming 3600 critical heals, and had more HP than my i130 Paladin did from 51-59. It finally has a use besides some average bardings.

    Perhaps a reward for grinding out that EXP? I'm currently Rank 10 and I feel like it's OP. It's great though having a Healer with me at all times

    But wearing mix match parts of all three just looks awful. Unless we can dye them to make them match, then yes, until then, I new different barding should have been the prize at 20.

    I am also enjoying my Chocobo. He does come in handy now. I just hate that when you change to your lower level roles, they drop him as well.

    What is the best way to level a chocobo? Mine is only level 5 and I constantly have to dismiss it to do quests that are forced to be done solo and to queue for duty finder. It's just an incredibly inconvenience to have my chocobo out. Not to mention that you have to dismiss it everytime you use a mount other than your chococbo.

    It's best to dedicate time to level your chocobo as oppose to as meantime thing. When I am bored, I just decide to help my chocobo level and start doing FATEs with him until his time expired. Best place to level currently is Northern Thanalan, because you can do them faster with decent XP. The new expansion spaces take longer to complete even if they are about the same level as in Northern Thanalan, so you make less XP per minute or hour or however you gage it.

    Can pretty much solo all 3 daily hunt logs at level 50 with my maxed out bird, not sure what else I'd need it for. Also the Hive Barding replaced everything else before it in coolness factor.

    And people, why do you go against someone asking for a justifiable rewards after all that grind/effort/gil/time invested??? do you don't like nice things??? there is not an achivement for reaching rank 20 chocobo but there is one for reaching rank 10
