Unlocking Your Chocobo
In the world of FFXIV, having a trusty companion by your side can make all the difference on your adventures. And what better companion to have than your very own chocobo? These feisty feathered creatures not only provide great company but can also aid you in battle. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of unlocking and utilizing your chocobo companion.
To unlock your chocobo, you'll need to complete the quest "My Feisty Little Chocobo". This quest becomes available once you reach level 30 in any class and complete the quest "My Little Chocobo" with your Grand Company. Head to Camp Tranquil in the South Shroud and speak to Docette to begin your chocobo journey.
Using Your Chocobo in Battle
Once you have your chocobo companion, you can summon it into battle using gyshal greens. These greens can be purchased from NPCs in the three main cities. One green will last for 30 minutes, but if you want to extend the duration, you can feed your chocobo up to 2 greens at a time for a full hour of fun. As your chocobo gains experience, it will level up and become even more powerful.
Training Your Chocobo
If you want to further improve your chocobo's abilities, you can train it at a stable. Stables can be found outside of apartment buildings in residential districts and can also be added to private and free company houses. Complete the quest "Bird in Hand" to unlock chocobo training. Luquelot in the Central Shroud will give you the quest. Keep in mind that you can only train your chocobo once every hour and you'll need to bring a delicious treat like Krakka root with you.
Leveling Up Your Chocobo
While your chocobo can gain experience through battles, it won't level up if it's left in the stable. To ensure your chocobo continues to grow, make sure to take it out with you on hunts and quests. Once your chocobo hits level 10, it will require a thavnarian onion to ascend to the next level. Thavnarian onions can be purchased from the marketboard, grown in a garden, or obtained from your Free Company.
Ascending Your Chocobo
Feeding your chocobo a thavnarian onion will allow it to ascend to the next level beyond 10. The maximum level your chocobo can reach is 20, so make sure to continue feeding it onions to unlock its full potential.
Allocating Skill Points
With each level gained, your chocobo will earn skill points that can be allocated to defender, attacker, or healer abilities. You can access the skill point allocation menu by going to the character tab, selecting 'companion', and then going to the skills tab. If you ever want to reset your chocobo's skill trees, feed it a reagan pepper.
Customizing Your Chocobo
Add some flair to your chocobo by dyeing it different colors and giving it unique bardings to wear. There are 85 colors to choose from, so the options are endless. You can change your chocobo's color by feeding it specific combinations of snacks. Check out the color calculator linked below to find out which foods your chocobo needs to eat for the desired color.
Renaming Your Chocobo
If you ever feel like giving your chocobo a new name, you can do so by speaking to the chocobokeep at any of the three main cities and selecting 'chocobo renaming'. Give your chocobo a name that truly reflects its personality.
Now that you know how to unlock, train, and customize your chocobo companion, you'll have a loyal and powerful ally by your side in your FFXIV adventures. So saddle up, feed your chocobo some greens, and embark on exciting quests with your feathered friend. Happy gaming!
