Some Chocobo Suggestions

[Quintalian]

All right, there's no specific category I can find that fits all of these chocobo-related suggestions, so I suppose "Other" will have to suffice.

* First things first: dyeing your bird just the right color is still the same trial and error process it initially was. While I haven't bothered with dyeing lately, I expect that folks have more or less gotten the feed formulas and calculators to a decent place accuracy wise. Still, it'd be appreciated to have more feedback about results in-game to take some of the guesswork out of dyeing.

* While we're at it, a number of new clothing dyes have been added to the game recently. Please add those options to the chocobo dye pool as well! And, this feels long overdue: may we get pastels, metallics and the other rare dyes as options as well?

* Speaking of overdue, I love the wide variety of bardings available, but why do we still not have barding representing Ifrit, Garuda, Titan, and Moggle Mog XII? These primal bardings are still conspicuously absent!

* This one doesn't feel especially necessary, but it would be interesting to have some number of ranks above 20 added with a couple new techniques per role, perhaps. May I suggest a Choco Raise for a new Healer top-rank skill? Even if it has an hour cooldown!

* Lastly, I've noticed there's an arena for chocobos to test their might in Ishgard. Could this be opened for perhaps a weekly sparring session to help gain some quick EXP? Not that the weekly challenge log doesn't offer a good amount, but a bit more would be nice, especially if/when any new ranks might be added above 20...

Well, that's all I've got for now. Thanks for your time and consideration!

i have a feeling a number of chocobo concerns were to be addressed way back in the day but then they moved the only guy who worked on chocobos to something else and simply haven't replaced that position because they just don't want to put any resources into it at this time.

personally I feel at this point in the game's lifetime we've seen all we're going to see with chocobos.

They could at least replace the accuracy traits with something else.

I would love to see higher rank past 20 for sure! And seriously 2 thumbs up for Choco Raise!!! With maybe a 5-10 mins cooldown.

An hour cooldown.... *gulp*

[Miu-Tiiu]

Oh... a trait at rank 25 to "DODGE AOEs!!!"

I hate seeing my baby bird go down... T.T

It's why I call him back and send him away during hunts. Those A Ranks and higher are super brutal. Any Chocobo lovers know what I'm talking about...

i would love to see tankboco skills be functional to take aggro again, since they were not updated with Shadowbringers

There are any number of Chocobo coloring calculators out there. Here's a simple one: https://ffxivchocobo.com/. Chocobo colors aren't as simple as dyes, so I doubt you'll ever see what you're looking for.

Here's a list of of Barding and where to get it: https://ffxivcollect.com/bardings.

They were generated for each of the releases, from ARR onwards. I doubt they'll revisit the ARR bardings, although I wouldn't be surprised to see them for sale on the Mog Station if enough people asked for them.

While it might be fun to consider level skills beyond 20 for your Chocobo, the cost of the onions needed might be a bit excessive, and for very little actual gain in utility.

I dunno Chocobo Raise sounds pretty useful, albeit in rare situations. Tank fixing would be a good thing too. Better healing couldnt hurt either. I forget but isnt the HP scaling awful after level 60?

I ran around with the Chocobo for the daily hunts and Pixie beast tribes (and FATEs, so many FATEs ... those gems!) while leveling the majority of my jobs from 70 to 80, and didn't notice any particular problem with healing my DPS jobs (tanks and healers have their own ways of dealing with things).

Well beast tribes yeah. So far recently the only problems really stemmed from synced in boss FATEs solo, tbf.
