Triels Blue Palfrey Experiment:Ongoing

Re: Triels Blue Palfrey Experiment:Ongoing

Hey, can you keep an eye out for any negative side effects that high affection might have? I doubt SE would let you watch over it and max it out so easily if there wasn't a positive and/or negative to it.

That's why i'm raising it slowly, I walk it more than watch it now. Simply because on my last chicken i watched it constantly and it grew spoiled ALOT. So now i want to keep it simple and raise as I raised my own Daughter. I do think SE probably added in something that abstract.

I also think thats why Im getting things done sooner, with her faster than I did with the last Chicken. The last chicken i simply wanted a Chocobo, this one i'm going specificaly for a certain type based on a theory, and I'm testing it now.

No obvious negative side effect I've seen. As I'm seeing one of the multiple cutscenes I was getting seems to be a result of having it regard me as a parent for so long. Was one mentioning something about doing what it can to please me. Since it's affection bounces between parent and wanting to be around me now I've stopped getting that extra cutscene.

It seems that extra cutscene only kicks in as long as the chocobo regards you as a parent for what it guessing is 3 or more days without it dropping below, seems sort of like it's function is similar to an exp chain bonus. Keeping it as parent status starts becoming harder to acomplish when you do the stuff that drops affection big time.

I've only succeeded 1 time in sustaining parent affection when doing "Deliver Messages", "Dig for Treasure", or "Act in Play". Otherwise every time it drops to wanting to be around and I feed it and what-not back to parent status.

Re: Triels Blue Palfrey Experiment:Ongoing

So I've been given the handkerchif today, and I was wondering if anybody has noticed any effects from it other than affection? I know you can either put your own scent on it, or rent a chocobo and put a chocobo scent on it, so I'm wondering if either choice might have an effect on either set of stats.

I'll go with the chocobo scent.

Day 12 (Real Time), Day 9Under Care plan

Day 12
Weather Gustaberg : Firesday/Sunny
Care Plan : Listen to Music
Physical Condition: Good/ Was starving
Feed: 2 Zegham Carrot, 1 Sharug
Walked 3x , Watched 7x

Notes:
A) Met Zopago and Chaos outside on 2nd trip
" keep up the good work with Chaos CS"
B)Personality changed to having none to>>>
**Quite Sensitive**
Your chocobo is quite sensitive, making it good with people.
C)Affection "It thinks i'm it's Parent."


I'm Very happy with today's results It shows my Palfrey is Well on it's way, However the goal is to get a Blue Palfrey and maintain it's sensitivity.
Gonna Keep doing What i've been doing, and hope for the best. I think Chocobo Raising is kinda like gardening, Where you have a recipe and take into certain factors and get a final result.

Like I said i'm happy but The goal is a Blue Palfrey. So I'll keep keepin on.

Day 13 (Real Time), Day 10Under Care plan

Day 13
Weather Gustaberg : Firesday/Sunny with chance of clouds
Care Plan : Listen to Music
Physical Condition: Good/ Was starving
Feed: 2 Zegham Carrot, 1 Sharug
Walked 3x , Watched 8x

Notes:
A) Met Zopago and Chaos outside on 3rd trip
" keep up the good work with Chaos CS"
B)Personality **Quite Sensitive**
Your chocobo is quite sensitive, making it good with people.
C)Affection "It thinks i'm it's Parent."

No Shifts anywhere with affection nor Personality, I'm starting to thin kthat the more sensitive they are the more CS's they will have with other chocobo's.

Re: Triels Blue Palfrey Experiment:Ongoing

I raised a chocobo in Sandy with the opposite focus, walking in town all the time and eating carrot paste, also walking 3 times a day. While she was a chick there were only one or two days where she didn't run into her friend in Ronfaure, even though her mental stats should've been at a minimum and her personality had been patient except for the one day she was ill tempered. I don't think they're related.

Day 13 (Real Time), Day 11 Under Care plan

Day 13
Weather Gustaberg : Firesday/Sunny with chance of clouds
Care Plan : Listen to Music
Physical Condition: Good/ Was starving
Feed: 2 Zegham Carrot
Walked 3x , Watched 2x

Notes:
ANo cutscene today.. Coinciding with what Taskmage added.
B)Personality Shifted from Quite sensitive to enigmatic
**Rather Enigmatic**
It has a rather enigmatic personality... it's hard to know what it's thinking.
C)Affection "It thinks i'm it's Parent."

The personailty Shift was unexpected seeing As shes been Very Sensitive for a 2 real days. Not this Enigmatic personality has me intrigued.

If this is the case then the next step should be
**Very patient**
Your chocobo is a very patient chocobo, making it ideal for carrying goods.

Key word is should be, But I hope it fluctuates between Sensitive and Patient.

Re: Triels Blue Palfrey Experiment:Ongoing

5 More days then I'll have a teenager. Then we'll see if this Experiment is a success or not.

Re: Triels Blue Palfrey Experiment:Ongoing

If it's patient that seems to suggest it would be good in durability. As the excerssise with other chocobo's results in a message about the chocobo's patience, something focused to raise the chocobo's durability.

Enigmatic seems to fit with receptivity as the play with other chocobo's comments about that as well.

Re: Triels Blue Palfrey Experiment:Ongoing

I think you're going a great job, days are hard to catch if real life gets busy but keep up the good work.


I've actually taken some of your suggestions from the first post of this thread, feeding my chobi one zegham carrot and one azouph green per day, then walking him three times and watching over him four times. I've gotten pretty similiar results so far with personality and cutscenes. The only difference I can see so far is my egg was a bit warm while your egg was slightly warm; and I'm not really that diligent with the day I check on him. It may very well be that food makes more of a difference than what SE was leading on.

Personality - Quite Sensitive
1 Zegham Carrot and 1 Azouph Green

Food does raise stats your working of faster if you use it right. I used Zegham carrots and did music, my chocobo seems to be best for Disscernment and Receptivity. By Day 18 it had substandard in both, by Day 25 it had a bit deficient in Disscernment, by Day 31 it had a bit deficient in Receptivity. On day 35 it had below average on disscernment, so far on day 40 it has below average on receptivity.

With each day that passes I've noticed that foods seem to get stronger and stronger at improving my chocobo's stats. It almost seems like 3 feedings of a specific food now is like 30% of the entire thing that raises it's stat.

Next one I raise I hope to get one that seems to respond better to walking then I have the plan doing something along the line of:

Plan 0: Walk (3 Days)
Plan 1: Basic Care (7 Days)
Plan 2: Walk (2 Days)
Plan 3: Basic Care (6 Days)

Something along that for chick stage, then do:

Plan 0: Carry Packages (2 Day)
Plan 1: Basic Care (4 Days)
Plan 2: Carry Packages (2 Day)
Plan 3: Basic Care (6 Days)

In that way then I'm hoping that it'll effect the stats as follows:

Plan 0: STR +3 DUR +3 DIS -3 REC -3
Plan 1: STR +7 DUR +7 DIS +7 REC +7 (STR +10 DUR +10 DIS +4 REC +4)
Plan 2: STR +2 DUR +2 DIS -2 REC -2 (STR +12 DUR +12 DIS +2 REC +2)
Plan 3: STR +6 DUR +6 DIS +6 REC +6 (STR +18 DUR +18 DIS +8 REC +8)

Then in the second one after it becomes:

Plan 0: STR +4 DUR +4 DIS -4 REC -4 (STR +20 DUR +20 DIS +4 REC +4)
Plan 1: STR +4 DUR +4 DIS +4 REC +4 (STR +24 DUR +24 DIS +8 REC +8)
Plan 2: STR +4 DUR +4 DIS -4 REC -4 (STR +28 DUR +28 DIS +4 REC +4)
Plan 3: STR +6 DUR +6 DIS +6 REC +6 (STR +34 DUR +34 DIS +10 REC +10)

That would be 32 Days design. Following what I've done with my current this should produce better results then the one I had done.

Re: Triels Blue Palfrey Experiment:Ongoing

Food definately does make a difference when used consistently. I fed my second chocobo on a strict diet of carrot paste as a chick and she had substandard endurance before she became and adolecent. I'm sure it was the food itself that raised the stat too, since I checked her, fed her, and checked her again without doing any other care. First check was poor across the board, second showed substandard endurance.

Re: Triels Blue Palfrey Experiment:Ongoing

I agree...

It seems like the relationships between attributes and personality should be:
Strength: Ill-tempered
Endurance: Patient
Discernment: Sensitive
Receptivity: Enigmatic

At day 18, I've got an adolescent chocobo with a sensitive personality. I've been having it listen to music with occasional rest days. I fed it a Zegham Carrot on the day it was in high spirits (veggie paste for all other meals), and it was sick on the other day it was in high spirits. Both days it listened to music. The personality did shift to enigmatic for one day, but I attribute that to the fact that listening to music raises both discernment and receptivity.

I have a hypothesis that when the chocobo is particularly reponsive, it either:
1) makes bigger gains in attributes based on the plan you give it for that day or the next day,
2) makes bigger gains in attributes based on the food you give it that day, or
3) is shifted toward a particular personality based on the food or plan you give it that day.

I'm frustrated today because my care plan was "Listen to Music," I got the "Listen to Music" cutscene, but my chocobo continued to be in rest mode (the previous day's plan that i had only set for one day)... Hope this is just a bug.
