Patch 1.19 will see the implementation of two long-awaited series mainstays: chocobos and airships
1) Officially enlist in a Grand Company (achieve a rank higher than recruit).
2) Acquire a chocobo issuance for 3,000 company seals (price subject to change)
3) Speak with the stablemaster NPC representing your Grand Company at one of the locations below to be issued a chocobo and a summoning whistle.
– Isleen: Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (7, 5)
– Fruhdhem: Gridania (6, 5)
– Rururaji: Ul’dah Merchant Strip (6, 3)
At the time you acquire your chocobo, you will be given the opportunity to name your new adventuring companion.
* All company chocobos are male.
However, you cannot call your chocobo when:
– Inside a city-state or dungeon.
– Incurring enmity from an enemy.
* No recast time is imposed upon the chocobo whistle.
Future patches will usher in customizable barding along with a system for developing your chocobo. A host of other content is also in the works, including those designed to nurture the bond between man and bird, and adventurers can look forward to a fulfilling and lasting companionship with their chocobos.
– Isleen: Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (7, 5)
– Fruhdhem: Gridania (6, 5)
– Rururaji: Ul’dah Merchant Strip (6, 3)
Requirement: Attaining level 10 in any one class.
Fee: 800 gil (subject to change)
Rental duration: 10 minutes (Earth time) (subject to change)
* At the end of ten minutes, you will automatically dismount the chocobo, and the bird will then make its own way back to the stable.
* Both rental fee and duration may change as a result of fine-tuning.
Via the Crow’s Lift on both upper and lower deck (7, 5). Select airship landing when prompted.
