I'm going to be so depressed

[WishMaster3K]

If my Chocobo doesn't have a color.

Day 18



I thought the "Well-Suited for Military use" meant almost automatically Black, but it turns out that it is just STR dominant. /cry

I was feeding it Carrot Paste for a few days, then I just said, "eff it" and started giving it Vomp Carrots. So I'm just going to hope for the best.


I'll let you guys know what happens tonight.

I just got lucky on my second and third tries, both turned out black. I can't think of anything special I did besides feed a mix of Vomp Carrots and Azouph Greens.

Re: I'm going to be so depressed

What color did you want?

[WishMaster3K]

Re: I'm going to be so depressed

Any damn color other than Yellow -_-.

Re: I'm going to be so depressed

Is gold an option like in 7? If so, would you want it? It's close to yellow...

Only if it can run up mountains and cross all bodies of water.

Trans-continental chocobo? {Yes, please}. I should also be able to attack from it, just so I wouldn't have to get off it when I get to a camp.

I'm also working on a new chocobo. This was from an egg I had gotten through breeding a number of months ago, both parents are red. It just hatched the day before yesterday.

And remember: a chocobo chick can start out with colored tips, but it can also loose them before hitting adult, if I remember correctly.

Re: I'm going to be so depressed

It's plain. I have the worst luck. I'm going to give up breeding my own and just get cards from people.

Re: I'm going to be so depressed

That's what I broke down and did on Telera. There was a nice Taru sitting out front selling male and female cards of every color. I got two blue, and bam, blue choco come adolescence. I was never lucky enough to get a color on my own. And was tired of wasting the time.

Before I quit, I gave my favorite little Taru buddy my blue choco's card, because he wanted a blue chocobo in the worst way. I really hope he found another blue card, or got lucky and got a blue one. Jinx was probably one of the nicest people I've known in any MMO, he deserved a blue choco.

Re: I'm going to be so depressed

I have a blue chocobo, but I never ride it. It's too slow, and I don't care to work on making it faster.

I let my whistle run out because I felt that 25k for 25 rides was a bit steep, considering the fact that most chocobos cost less than 500g.

steep my ass, when you can call it where ever you can ride and when you want? ;p

Re: I'm going to be so depressed

My point exactly, Kailea, but ARG! -_-

I'm just going to find someone with two cards and totally forget about raising mine from my own mediocre chocobo lineage.

Re: I'm going to be so depressed

You guys forget I'm a WHM main. I can teleport mmyself anywhere I want to go in order to ride a chocobo.

Re: I'm going to be so depressed

Just a bit of information, the "personality" string ("Well-suited for military use") is determined by statistical differentials during its early years. It becomes "set" after it gets older and determines how well the chocobo performs on the high-level training activities. For example, a military chocobo like yours will not do well at Digging for Treasure.

You can tell that it's not related to color by forcing it to change--you can "flip" a baby chocobo's personality by switching its care plan.
