Re: Learning abilities. Is there a trick? ; ;
Sabaron, I like your breeding concept - however, I am not sure if I have the time/patience to get a) another coloured chocobo (just had my 3rd one turn to adolescent and it has black tips, woohoo), b) breed the required lineage for BOTH colour AND abilities... not to mention the months it would take to get the final result with high STR/END, abilities and colour.

My mules are under level 20, no choco license.

So... naaaaaaaaah. I am going to stick with FireClaw for now - maybe at some point I'll try to do something more ambitious. Ultimately, I am most interested in high STR because I want to try the choco racing. I can sacrifice some END for an attempt to learn an ability, or I can just forget about trying to learn abilities alltogether.

My first attempt was abysmal because I mixed the care plans. This time, I know what I'm doing a bit more, so looking at that chart, one should be able to get STR and END very high, then use "digging for treasure", which would drop some END, but raise discernment at a higher rate than the END would be dropping - so you'd end up with a slightly rubbish END, high STR and average or higher discernment.

What I'm yet to find out is - are these abilities worth the bother and will they be the clincher in chocobo racing or not... that question still remains.
