guide to 100% chance of color chocobo ^^ : FFXI Submissions

OK, so here's my shot at free membership...

There are 2 things one must have to get colored chocobo.

#1 VERY high affection

#2 At least one stat a bit deficient or higher

If you get these before the chocobo is an adolescent you have about a 50/50 chance of color. Now here's how to make that 50% into 100%

First off, I'm going to abolish an annoying myth about chocobo color.

COLOR IS NOT INHERITED!!!!!

Can't stress this enough ppl....

Color is determined by the stats a chocobo has before it hits the adolescent stage. The only reason a green chocobo is likely to have a green baby, is that the baby will be born with similiar stats to the parent, which made the parent green in the first place.

Ok, now that that is out of the way. ahem...

The higher the chocobos affection towards you, the higher chance of color. So one MUST have the chick regard them as its parent for 100% color. this will boost the 50% to about 70-75%

Next, once the chick has capped affection, which can be asily accomplished by checking the egg 100+ times before it hatches, occasionally you will get a message saying, "Your chocobo is perky today" or, "the chick seems in high spirits"

This is good.

On these days you need to feed the chick one of the three worms, Parasite, cupid, or gregarious. Feeding all 3 of these at the right times is what will give you 100% color.

NOTE: do not feed all 3 at once, otherwise only the first will count. You must feed it one, then wait for it to be perky again, feed it second, and so on.

Each worm raises chance of color.

Time for a recap for 100% color.

#1 check egg 100+ times so chick is born with capped affection

#2 mantain the capped affection trhoughout

#3 get a stat a bit deficient or higher

#4 feed the chick all 3 worms on proper days.

If all these are done, the chick will become colored on its adolescent day.

Now then, what color is determined by what stat you ask?

Good question!

It seems that strength causes red, endurance green, and discernment blue. Receptivity does nothing ; ;.

And black? Well black just seems to happen randomly, still investigating as to what causes black chocos...

So hopefully this guide helps you get a colored chocobo.

One last thing...

One cannot change the color of the chocobo past adolescent stage. it's permenant. Well, there's using chocobo dye, but that isn't permenant, and kinda fake. But go ahead if you want, lol.

Good luck fellow chocobo raisers, and have fun ^^

So, who wants to waste 10 days trying to do this?... Anyone? Anyone at all?...

Hmmm...

Looks like you're going to have to wait till someone gets the time to do it...

My vote will be determined when someone tests out your methods... Don't expect a response till methods are proven and it would be really nice if you fixed your grammar while we wait

EDIT--

I'm also sure that's crap about the Red for STR, because mine was way passed "a bit deficient" by day 10, and it had already regarded me as a parent...

And guess what I got!!! --Yellow-- -_-;;

If it wasn't for the glaring errors, such as "these days" and "proper days" (which aren't defined at all unless I'm blind) I'd be inclined to hold my vote until this can be tested (assuming anyone wants to sit in the stables for hours on end checking the egg and pouring money into this)

I vote nay until this guide is fixed.

Can premium members say yay or nay to this being moved to a confirmed section.

I say Nay

My first ever post on this forum,
I bin breading Chocobos from day 1, and yo ucan never know the coller of them, there is no sutch thing as 100% chance on that coller, it all randum, I had 4black, 1 red and 2 yellow sofar, and al had same sattus, except the last black one i got, he had gallop. all my chocobos had highes affaction theye coud have from day1, color is all jus trandom, i notist that you bread whit 2 chocobo of same color you have about 80% change on gething that color, if buy a egg 20% on other coler then yellow. thats my exp whit Chocobo.
Greethings

PS: Sorry about bad Language

Im gonna say nay to this there seems to be several flaws, one of which saying that color cannot be inherited, however, when you trade your egg to finbarr in upper jeuno, you have 4 plans to choose from. The B. sports plan and D. Jeuno Tour plan, and i quote from a leading ffxi site, "increases chance the resulting chick will become female, and inherit color from the parents."

Nay, followed guide exactly and got a yellow chocobo
