Chocobo Breeding help

[hplvr]

ok, im trying to breed a gold chocobo, but i was wondering, the first step is to breed to great or good chocobos, but is it alright to use the same 2 chocobos for making the river and the mountain chocobo???
like for ex.
Victoria and Chase mate and have a Mountain Chocobo, but can Victoria and Chase mate again and have aRiver Chocobo? or do i have to get 2 more chocobos and breed them?

[Enjolras]

No, after you fight a number of battles they will be ready to breed again, and if you manage to get a river chocobo of a different gender to your mountain, they can breed to create a black chocobo once they mature. Obviously Choco-incest isn't illegal.

[hplvr]

so.... how many battles do i have to fight before Vicoria and CHase (seriously that is their names) before they can breed again??

[Enjolras]

I think its around 5-10, but don't quote me on that. You can either fight easy battles around the chocobo ranch and get them over with, or go to the underwater plane and get some training in. If you're that far in the game.

alright, thnx!

Great + Great + Carob Nut + combined total of 4 race wins = 50% Blue, 50% Green
Blue + Green + Carob Nut + combined total of 9 race wins = 100% Black
Black + Wonderful + Zeio Nut + combined total of 12 race wins = 100% Gold

3-10 battles for parents to mate again
3-18 battles for newborns to mature

[Levian]

Nice list, Endless. Interesting facts. :up:

Except you probably mean Great + Good etc. = 50% Blue, 50%Green.

[TheSpoonyBard]

No, I mean Great + Great. Any combination of Good and Great will work, but Greats tend to have better stats.

I need a Carob Nut where can i get one from without going to the GS and paying 500 gp for them?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Steal from Vladorakos found on the grassy area by Bone Village.

[Anniexo]

[TheSpoonyBard]

Black + Wonderful + Zeio Nut + combined total of 12 race wins = 100% Gold



sorry but this is incorrect, i have had to reset five times so far as the new chocobo is not gold

Same here, the 100% might be for more lucky ones(I got it on the first try). My friend needed to reset a few times with his both S class chocobos to get it.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Were you selecting the Black chocobo first? If you choose the Wonderful first you'll never get a Gold.

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

u may jus be mistaking them, as the yellow and gold do look a lot alike. the gold one has a slightly darker yellow for the feathers and his legs are more orange than brown

[blim]

i tried both ways round (black first and wonderful first) and checked which i'd got by riding and i got it right after that last post (so 5 resets)

[Deathchant]

what are the highest stats for the best golden chocobo?
I mated a lot and my highest was 147km/h, 999 stamina.

I heard others which catch a 160km/h.

I always raced EVERY chocobo I had to S class and let them win 10 times in a row, before mating.
I fed EVERY chocobo 99 of the best greens before mating them.
The male chocobo's are always the fastest.

How can I obtain the best chocobo regarding to stats etc.?

[TheSpoonyBard]

The highest stats you can achieve are 176km/h and 999 stamina. The best way to increase stats other than feeding 99 Sylkis Greens is to breed and hope the offspring has higher stats then the parents.

[Deathchant]

how do you make sure the offspring will get higher stats?

[TheSpoonyBard]

You can't. If you want to know exactly how breeding works, I suggest you read this (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=3241.0).

[Deathchant]

i know how it works :) within the details. But i NEVER EVER get a chocobo as good as you say. I even once tried to mate, and when i did not get better stats as the parent, then i resetted it, and tried again.

This for like 12 hours....

[Deathchant]

besides, that link of yours, is extremely cool, but it is only the math behind the chocobo thingy, not the explaination about how to obtain the best chocobo itself

[TheSpoonyBard]

That's because there is no method. It's just chance, as the maths explains.

[jammi567]

what's the quickest (and cheapest) way of getting a gold chocobo?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Defeating Ruby WEAPON. Much faster than breeding one.

[jammi567]

thanks for that.

[Deathchant]

what stats does that chocobo have? I presume, the chocobo obtained from ruby weapon will not be the best of the best golden chocobo...

[TheSpoonyBard]

The Gold you get from the Kalm Traveller has pretty bad racing stats, but it can access all the materia caves and such.

Dont think it takes that long to breed, did mine in about a day using advice off here
