Chocobos are a more complex creature to breed than other monsters, because - should you do so correctly - you can get different kinds of Chocobos, that come with different colors and abilities. The default Chocobo that you will be able to tame or hatch from a found/bought egg will be a Yellow, but there are four other available breeds, unlockable through breeding. As you go through the list below, don’t forget to document your progress. (There is no OOC requirement / IC penalty for inbreeding your chocobos, but if you want to boast about the lineage it might be interesting to collaborate with other breeders.)
Congratulations! You may now have a Wonderful Gold. Like with Blacks, if you breed it with another color, you only have a 25% chance of another Gold. If, however, you breed it with another Gold you have a 100% chance of getting a Gold chicabo, though the rating will vary. The rolls are as follows:
Note: Chocobos of all colors have ratings (Okay | Nice | Good | Great | Wonderful) that can be increased by taking them through the Chocobo Racing minigame.
You will need access to a Chocobo Stall, which can be rented from the Dindue Chocobo Farm or House Titan - or, if you’re a member of House Titan, you can buy one in a one time purchase.
Any combination of Okay/Nice Yellows, or Yellows of greater rank who have not been fed a Zeio Nut and Sylkis Green, will equal another Yellow. Below is the path necessary to unlock other colors:
Breed 2 Good Yellows, after feeding them a Zeio Nut and Sylkis Green. You have a 50% chance of either Good Blue (can cross shallow water, such as streams and rivers) or a Good Green (can cross mountains) - you will need one of both in the quest for a Gold Chocobo.
- t!choose good blue | good green
Again, you will need both a Blue and Green chocobo to continue, and they will need to be raced until they are both rated Great. Feed them Sylkis Greens before breeding them to receive a Great Black (can cross all terrain).
Once you have raced your way to a Wonderful Black, feed it Sylkis Greens and breed it with any other Wonderful Chocobo. You will have a 40% chance of it being the color of a non-black parent, so your best bet is to breed 2 Wonderful Blacks. You will always have a 25% chance of breeding a Golden Chocobo, even if you bred your Wonderful Black with a Wonderful Yellow.
- t!choose wonderful black | wonderful black | wonderful parent 2 | wonderful parent 2 | wonderful gold | wonderful parent 2 | wonderful parent 2 | wonderful black | wonderful black | wonderful black | wonderful black | wonderful parent 2 | wonderful parent 2 | wonderful parent 2 | wonderful parent 2 | wonderful gold | wonderful parent 2 | wonderful black | wonderful gold | wonderful gold
Congratulations! You may now have a Wonderful Gold. Like with Blacks, if you breed it with another color, you only have a 25% chance of another Gold. If, however, you breed it with another Gold you have a 100% chance of getting a Gold chicabo, though the rating will vary. The rolls are as follows:
Wonderful Gold + Other Color (Parent 2) + Sylkis Greens - it WILL have whatever the lowest rating is between the two parents
- t!choose parent 2 | gold | gold | gold | parent 2 | parent 2 | parent 2 | parent 2 | parent 2 | parent 2 | parent 2 | parent 2
Wonderful Gold + Any Gold + Sylkis Greens = Gold, roll for rating
- t!choose nice | nice | great | good | great | nice | good | wonderful | good | nice
