if for some reason none of you have figured this out by now, here's what I could find...really wish I could still play...on a sidenote anyone know how to fix my stupid laptop so I can run and type at the same time?
Chocobo on the loose! (Chocobo Raising Quest/Storyline Not a prerequisite to raise chocobos)
Talk to Brutus in Upper Jueno for quest.
Choose release chocobo.
Brutus asks you to bring the Chocobo back and tells you it ran away to La Thiene Plateu
Go to La Thiene Plateu bottom left corner of E-4(really small area)
Go back to brutus for a CS
Go to sandy chocobo stables talk to that elvaan guy for a CS
Go back to brutus he tells you to wait for a while
wait 1 vanadiel day
Talk to brutus again for the last CS
Reward: Chocobo Egg....bit warm to the touch
How to start Chocobo Raising
There are 2 NPCs in every of the 3 starting cities chocobo stables one takes care of your chocobo the other explains everything about them.
NPCs
VCS Chocobo Trainers(Trade them a chocobo egg to start, you set up chocobo plans with them)
- San d’Orian stables: Hantileon
- Bastokan stables: Zopago
- Windurstian stables: Pulonono
Chocoguys(help you understand the process of chocobo raising)
- San d’Orian stables: Arvilauge
- Bastokan stables: Gonija
- Windurstian stables: Kiria-Romaria
Time
It takes about 1 month(Earth time) before you can ride you chocobo.
Theories:
The warmness of the egg is how fast it will hatch.
Color/Breed
up to know all we can do is speculate and make some theories
Theories:
-The egg warmth involves breed. 5 different "levels" of warmth, 5 different breeds. Coincidence? (you might say but there are 6 breeds, well there are the thing is Rounsey can hatch out of any egg since it is the most common)
-Where you raise your egg will reflect breed: (makes sense no?)
Sandy = Destrier(yellow, black), Courser(yellow, red)
Bastok = Palfrey(yellow, blue)
Windurst = Jennet(yellow, Green)
Anywhere = Rounsey(yellow)
-Randomness, any breed any color anywhere
Naming your chocobo:
You can choose 2 names from a list of available words, with a maximum combination of 15 letters.
Names cannot be changed once they have been chosen.
--A list of names can be found at killingifrit.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=131528&d=0 (though why they don't just let us name them is beyond me...Starfox was the first combo to catch my eye)
