User talk:Zatias/Chocobo Raising/The Racer Strategies

Remember that Gallop is only gotten from Short Walks if you're raising your bird in Sandy. For Windy and Bastok, it's obtained from Regular Walks. And personally, when raising a racer, I recommend getting it born with Canter; it saves a ton of time and effort. You can just get chococards from 2 parents who have the abilty learned, and if the baby isn't born with it, just start over and get another egg from the parents again. --Kyrie 09:38, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Yes I forgot to mention this was the recommended starting point (San d'Oria), thank you for pointing that out. Because some servers do not have zealous chocobreeders, chococards are not an option for everyone. Thanks again for the input ^^--Zatias 09:58, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

My newest race bird has recently become an adult, and I will keep her growth up to date in this log to give players an idea of what it is like to raise a race bird.

Marked* attributes were increased with the use of Chocobucks.

Just like a craft, these expenses will be paid off once the chocobo reaches its prime and can actually race with the pros.

I admit I got sidetracked with real life, holidays, and new games, but here are the final stats for my bird at day 64.

Total gil spent on this bird: >750k
Includes food, medicines and chocobucks.

Total gil won back from races, as of 4/25/10: ~2M
