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 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.  Kindadarii (Bahamut) 75BRD / 68PUP / 66WHM / 34SMN

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.  "If you keep me waiting much longer, it damn well better be the end of the Galaxy." ~ Kaidan

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

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. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | All times are GMT -8.
