best way to level chocobo

[ryouma17]

whats the best way currently to lvl your chocobo besides feeding it krakka roots? my bird is lvl 15 trying to get it to 20 i been feeding it krakka roots every hour but that alone takes far too long to lvl it

The best way is to train your chocobo with Curiel Roots until it is his favorite food.

Then you grind monsters with the chocobo, the highest lvl ones you can find (I think that's lvl 69) and feed him with the Curiel Root so he gets the exp buff. When the Curiel Roots are his favorite food the buff will be grade 2.

Then you put him every hour into the stable and train him, take him out right after and continue grinding lvl 69 monsters. And you have to keep the stable clean, there has to be a sparkle effect in the stable to get the most exp for training sessions, sometimes you have to clean it two times in a row to get the effect.


Of course getting hands on the exp roots isn't that simple, however, grinding monsters between the feeding every hour is the best way to level.

The second best way is to find a friend who helps with training. A chocobo can actually be trained two times every hour - by yourself and by one other person. But after you put the chocobo into the stable there is a one hour cooldown on the training for other persons, wich means you can't grind monsters AND train it two times every hour at the same time.

Or just make a 2nd character, have them join your FC, and give them half the food. DIY double-feeding.

And do the weekly challenge log.

unfortunately once you're at that level best and really only viable method without going krakka root crazy is weekly challenge logs.

I also used to do the Daily Hunts and earned Centurio Seals whilst I was doing it.

do you have to grow the curiel roots yourself?

Unfortunately, yes.

You can buy a variety of chocobo food from the Vath beast tribe: https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Vath_Stickpeddler

I never had the patience to straight up grind mobs for my bird.
I got my chocobo to rank 20 during Heavensward through a combination of the Challenge Log, feeding Krakka Roots, and just making sure it was always summoned when I was doing something in the overworld (quests, clan hunts, FATEs, treasure map parties, ect).
