Glamours is A Realm Reborn's Vanity System. It allows the player to transform the appearance of his or her gear into that of other gear. The transformation only affect the appearance of that piece of gear and does not affect its stats. It allows the player to take on various appearances, regardless of the gear he or she is wearing.

The glamour system can be used on all gear the same or lower equipment level than your current gear. After using a [[#Glamour Prism|glamour prism]], the gear being copied can be entrusted to your retainer. As long as the base gear and the gear being copied occupy the same number of gear slots, you can copy the appearance of any gear equippable by your current class or job.

*The glamour system was introduced in Patch 2.2.
*The glamour system was updated in Patch 4.2 to standardize Prism type and Glamour process.

*All visible gear including [[weapons]], [[shields]], [[armor]], [[earrings]], and [[rings]] can be altered.

==Unlock==
From patch 4.1 onward, players only need to be level 15+ to unlock Glamours. Old unlock quests [[A Self-improving Man]] and [[Submission Impossible]] can now be unlocked at level 15. Requirements for recipe books and recipes are also reduced to level 15.

Additionally, new, alternative unlock quests have been added in [[Vesper Bay]] in [[Western Thanalan]]:

'''[[If I Had a Glamour]]'''
*Level requirement: 15
*NPC: [[Swyrgeim]] in [[Western Thanalan]] (X:12.6 Y:14.3)
*Unlock: Glamours

'''[[Absolutely Glamourous]]'''
*Level requirement: 15
*NPC: [[Swyrgeim]] in [[Western Thanalan]] (X:12.6 Y:14.3)
*Requirement: Completion of [[If I Had a Glamour]]
*Unlock: [[Glamour Recipes]]

==Usage==
===Requirements and Restrictions===
Glamours may be cast with any items that meet the following conditions:

#The base and projected items are of the same type.
#The equipment level of the projected item is equal to or lower than the base item. (Note that this is not the item level, it's the minimum character level that can use the item)
#The base item and projected item can be equipped by the same class or job.
#The base item and projected item can be equipped by the same gender or race.

For gear occupying more than one gear slot, one the following conditions must be met in addition to the above:

#The base item and projected item occupy the same gear slots.
#All of the projected item's gear slots fall within the base item's gear slots.
##For example you can project a robe (body slot) onto a cowl (head and body slots) but cannot project a cowl onto a robe.

*The equipment requirements of a glamoured item are identical to the base item.
*The appearance of the base item will be used in the event your current class cannot equip the projected item.

===Application===
====Cast Glamour====
#A piece of equipment can be manually cast as a glamour onto another piece of equipment if you are carrying both of them in your inventory or armoury chest.
#It costs one glamour prism to cast a glamour.
#Right click or open the subcommand menu of the item you want to keep the stats of, but change the appearance of.
#Choose "Cast Glamour"
#On the left, a list of equipment you own will be displayed. This list displays which items will keep their stats but change their appearance.
#On the right, a list of equipment you own will be displayed. This is the list of items you can apply the appearance of onto the equipment chosen on the left list.
#Choose the item on the right list you want to make the item on the left look like. If you cannot cast a glamour due to a level or class restriction it will be greyed out.
#A window will open with two entries: the base item will preserve its stats, but take on the appearance of the appearance item. It will cost one glamour prism. Choose "cast" to confirm.
#Both items will be bound to you if they are not already bound. The base item will keep its stats, but look like the appearance item when equipped.
====Glamour Creation====
#Note the Requirements and Restrictions above — the glamour will only work if is it equal to or below the level of the item you apply it to. Note that it's the "level" (as in the minimum level the character has to be) NOT the "item level" which affects whether the glamour will work.
#Ensure that you have a Glamour Prism.
#Ensure that you're in possession of an item which you want to use the appearance of but which you're happy to store temporarily.
#Ensure that the item you're going to turn into a glamour is not equipped.
#Go to your Glamour Dresser, there's one in your Inn room and in the Grand Company squadron room, and use it.
#Two windows will open. On the right is the Glamour Creation window.
#If it's in your inventory, rather than your armoury, you'll be able to find the item in the list right now.
#If it's in your armoury click on "Location" and then the relevant section. At this point you should be able to find the item.
#Either way, once you've found it, click on it.
#Make sure you've selected the right item before you take "Yes" from the dialog, because once you've done that the item you've chosen will be temporarily stored in the Glamour Dresser and it will become a glamour (and a Glamour Prism will be used up).
#You can retrieve an item placed in the glamour dresser using the Restore Item subcommand. It will be placed in your inventory or armoury chest, and bound to you.

====Glamour Plate Creation====
Once you have one or more glamours you can apply them either individually or in groups to a Glamour Plate.

#Go to your Glamour Dresser, there's one in your Inn room, and use it.
#Two windows will open. On the left is the Glamour Dresser window.
#Click on "Edit Glamour Plates"
#The Glamour Plate Creation window opens.
#Click on the plate you want to set up, one of the numbered buttons at the top. A plate is a term for an outfit, although it won't necessarily overwrite the entire outfit, i.e. you don't have to fill all the slots to use it.
#To either side of the image of you are the slots.
#Click one of the ones for which you've created a glamour.
#Click the glamour in the Gear Selection window.
#Repeat the above two steps until you have the outfit you'll want to apply.
#Click Save.

Chocobo Racing

{{see also|Chocobo}}
Chocobo Racing is an activity released with the [[Gold Saucer]] in patch 2.51. During this activity, players act as breeders, trainers and jockeys of their [[chocobos]]. Players can enter their well-bred and carefully trained chocobos into races to increase their [[#Rank | ranks]] and win [[Manderville Gold Saucer Points]].

Note that the chocobo you use in Chocobo Racing is NOT your [[companion]]/[[mount]] chocobo.
==Unlock==
Players must complete the level 15 questline starting with [[So You Want to Be a Jockey]]. Players can start the quest by talking to [[Race Chocobo Registrar]] in [[Gold Saucer]] (X:6, Y:4). Players must have previously completed [[It Could Happen to You]].

==Levels==
===Rank===

A chocobo's '''Rank''' is its level, which can be increased with experience from racing. The maximum rank is 50, but chocobos can be [[#Covering|retired]] as early as rank 40.

Every time your chocobo's rank increases, 5 [[#Stats|stats]] will be randomly selected and increased by 1% of their maximum value. A particular stat can be chosen multiple times in a single level-up. It also earns a [[#Feeds|feeding]] opportunity.

At Rank 10, your chocobo will learn a new [[#Abilities| ability]], chosen at random. If the ability is removed (using [[lethe water]]), a new ability is selected the next time your chocobo's rank increases.

===Rating===
A chocobo's '''Rating''' is a comprehensive measure of its ability, and determines which racing class your chocobo may enter. It is the average number of your 5 [[#Stats|stats]] (without any bonuses from [[#Feeds|feeding]]).

A higher rating grants entry to more prestigious races, but may also prevent racing in lower classes.

Maiden Class is for Rating 1-20, R-40 Class is for Rating 1-40, R-60 requires Rating 41-60, R-80 requires Rating 41-80, and so on, R-300 being the highest with a range of R241-300. Your chocobo will earn far greater EXP and slightly more [[MGP]] in higher tier races.

If you don't feed your chocobo or use lower Grade Feeds, you will have a slight disadvantage against well-fed chocobos with a similar rating.

==Stats and Abilities==
===Stats===
{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! stat
! Effect
|-
|[[Maximum Speed]] || Affects how quickly your chocobo can run.
|-
|[[Acceleration]] || Affects how quickly your chocobo can attain maximum speed.
|-
|[[Endurance]] || Affects the threshold at which your chocobo gains "Lathered" status and consumes stamina at an increased rate.
|-
|[[stamina]] || Affects the total amount of stamina your chocobo has.
|-
|[[Cunning]] || Affects how effectively your chocobo can navigate a course with rough terrain.
|-
|}

The stats of your chocobo are displayed in the form (current stats)/(stat cap). Each rank up increases all of your stats, and they can also be increased through training with feed. All gains through all sources are proportional to your respective maximum in that stat. The game keeps track of decimals internally. You'll notice that if you train your bird with the same feed, the amount you get will sometimes differ by 1 due to internal rounding.

The formula for your Stat Cap is:

'''Stat Cap = 40 * (Pedigree Level + Star Rating) - 20'''

Your first chocobo will start with 1 Pedigree Level and 2 Star Rating in all stats so it will have stat cap of 100 in all stats. A chocobo with Pedigree of 2 and 2 Stars in all stats will have stat cap of 140. The maximum stat cap is 500, requiring a Pedigree Level 9 Chocobo with a full 4 Star Rating.

===Abilities===
{| class="wikitable sortable"

Your chocobo can have a maximum of 2 abilities: one learned and one hereditary.

You chocobo will learn an ability at [[#Rank|Rank 10]]. You can force your chocobo to unlearn its ability by using [[Lethe Water]] purchased from [[Track & Feed Trader]] for 10 [[MGP]]. On the next Rank increase, your Chocobo will randomly learn a new ability. You can also purchase Training Manuals from [[Track & Feed Trader]] to teach your chocobo a specific ability.

Your chocobo can inherit an ability from its parents. Each parent has a 50% chance of passing on its ability to a specific offspring.

==Feeds==
You can feed your chocobo once per rank-up. The feeding sessions are stockpiled. You can save up for better food if you need to.

==Racing Items==
In addition to [[#Magicked Panels|magicked panels]], you may come across treasure coffers containing race items. Race items will be added to your hotbar automatically. While some offer beneficial effects for you and your chocobo, others can be used to hinder your opponents.

{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Item
! Type
! Rarity
! Effect
|-
|Choco Potion || Self || Common || Instantly restores stamina by 10%.
|-
|Stamina Tablet || Self || Common || Prevents stamina reduction for 10 seconds. If stamina is at zero, restores a small amount of stamina.
|-
|Sprint Shoes || Self || Common || Summons a quick burst of speed for 3s. Functionally identical to the ability Choco Dash III.
|-
|Choco Aether || Self || Common || Allows a previously used race ability to be executed again.
|-
| Bacchus's Water || Offensive || Common || Sends the forerunning chocobo into a Frenzied state for 15 seconds and increases its stamina loss.
|-
|Graviball || Offensive || Common || Inflicts the forerunning chocobo with Heavy for 10 seconds.
|-
|Briar Caltrop || Offensive || Common || Surrounds your chocobo with a ring of thorns which will sap the stamina of any chocobos that enter at a rate of 5% per second (up to 4 seconds).
|-
|Hero Tonic || Self || Rare || Invigorates your chocobo for 15 seconds, increasing its overall performance while preventing and nullifying any current enfeeblements. Stamina is consumed at a decreased rate.
|-
|Choco Meteor || Offensive || Rare || Summons a meteor from the heavens to wreak havoc on all forerunning chocobos. Inflicts 20% stamina damage to all chocobos in front of you, as well as the "Lamed" status for 8 seconds which prevents all acceleration, including from items and abilities.
|-
|Stamina Swapper || Offensive || Rare || Interchanges your chocobo's stamina with that of a forerunning chocobo. Swap is made only if the forerunning chocobo has more stamina than yours.
|-
|Spiderweb || Offensive || Common || Renders the chocobo running immediately behind you unable to use items for 10 seconds.
|-
|}
*After acquiring an item, you can activate it through your hotbar.

===Tips and Tricks===
Avoid getting hit by '''Briar Caltrop''' at all cost. Briar Caltrop appears as a circular wall of thorns, move away from it ASAP, or it will drain about 10 to 20% of your stamina. Do not trade Briar Caltrops with another player(s), because even if you sap their stamina, they will sap yours as well. Unaffected players will easily overtake the both of you.

'''Stamina Tablet''' not only prevents you from losing stamina for 10 seconds, it also prevents all other forms of stamina loss such as being hit by Briar Caltrop or Choco Meteor.

If you are ahead, try to control what items your opponent can get. Do not take an item if the next one will be far more useful to you, or if leaving it behind may allow your opponent to catch up.

It is highly recommended that between the ranks 1-20, you use the ability '''Dressage'''.

The ability '''Super Sprint''' gives the chocobo a movement speed of 500.

The most effective abilities are '''Chocobo Cure''', '''Chocobo Dash''' and '''Chocobo Drain'''(especially if ```Chocobo Drain``` is parried with '''Speedy Recovery''').

Chocobo Racing itself does not provide a lot of MGP, with about 1.000 for Rating 300 races, but the rewards for completing challenges very high.

Raising a Chocobo to Pedigree 9 is a very tedious task and not highly recommended.

==Breeding==
Breeding in Chocobo Racing is called [[#Covering|Covering]]. You can retire your chocobo and use him/her for breeding when he/she reaches Rank 40. Breeding allows you to increase the Pedigree Level of your future chocobo. Every Pedigree Level increases all of your chocobo's maximum stats by 40. For example, if a Pedigree Level 1 chocobo has a max of 100 in [[stamina]], [[acceleration]], a Pedigree Level 2 chocobo will have a max of 140 in all of its stats.

Note that you can only increase your Pedigree Level by 1 for each breeding. You only need to breed with a Chocobo that has the same or higher Pedigree Level. For example, don't waste your money and breed your Pedigree 1 chocobo with a Pedigree 9 one. You only need to breed with another Pedigree 1 chocobo. Their offspring is going to be Pedigree 2 regardless.

While breeding a chocobo, each parent has a 50% chance of passing on its ability to its offspring. Additionally, each parent's color has a 50% chance of passing down. Offsprings inherit Star Ratings randomly from their grandparents, not their parents. Each grandparent's star rating is equally likely to be passed to an offspring.

Note that your chocobo's stats do not matter while breeding. Only its Pedigree Level, Stars and Abilities do. If you want powerful chocobos (Pedigree 9, 4 Stars across), breed your chocobo as soon as it hits rank 40. Do not waste your time and money to raise the stats of your initial chocobos.

After retiring, your chocobo you can breed it up to 10 times. If its offspring is unsuitable, you can discard it and try again.

==Racing==
Up to 8 players and their chocobos can enter into a race, allowing you to enter a race as a full party.

During the race, your chocobo will run along the course automatically. Players can increase the speed of their chocobos by holding forward, which increases the rate of [[stamina]] stamina consumption. The course is divided into invisible "tracks" spanning the width of the course and pressing left or right will move you onto the adjacent "track". You want to steer your chocobo into speed boosts and out of speed decreases. When you pick up an item, you will be able to use it from your hotbar.

As you continue to enter races and your chocobo gains experience, it will grow stronger, and its rating will increase. A higher rating will earn you entry to races in higher classes. However, your chocobo will become barred from participating in lower class races.

===Accessing Chocobo Square===
To acquire a racing chocobo, register your chocobo, and begin racing, players must first proceed to the Chocobo Square by speaking with the lift operator Saethrith at the Entrance Square of [[Gold Saucer]] (X:4, Y:6).

===Preparing for Chocobo Racing===
====Obtain a Registration Form====
After completing the prerequisite quest, players can register their racing chocobo. Over the course of the quest, players will receive either Fledgling Chocobo Registration G1-M or Fledgling Chocobo Registration G1-F depending on the preferred gender of their chocobo.

*In the event you accidentally discard your registration form or wish to acquire a new racing chocobo, a new registration form can be purchased from the Feathertrader NPC at Bentbranch Meadows in [[Central Shroud]] (X:20, Y:22).

====Register Your Racing Chocobo====
After acquiring your registration form, speak with the Race Chocobo Trainer NPC at the Chocobo Square (X:6, Y:4) to complete registration for your chocobo and give it a [[Race_Chocobo_Name_List|name]].

*A fixed fee in gil is required for each name change.

====How to Enter a Race====
To enter a race, speak with the Race Chocobo Registrar NPC at the Chocobo Square (X:6, Y:4) to select from the races available at your rating. Players who wish to practice the basics of chocobo racing can repeat the training course as many times as desired.
* Please note that you cannot register for duties when queuing to enter a race.

To view your race chocobo's rating, select Character from the main menu, followed by Gold Saucer, then select Chocobo from within the interface.

===Controls===
====Steering====
To steer your chocobo left and right, press the following buttons or keys:

'''Steer Left'''
*A (Move Left)
*Q (Strafe Left)
*Left Analog Stick

'''Steer Right'''
*D (Move Right)
*E (Strafe Right)
*Left Analog Stick

====Speed and Stamina====
'''To accelerate, press any of the following buttons or keys:'''

*W (Move Forward)
*LB (L1) Button
*Left Analog Stick Up

'''To decelerate, press any of the following buttons or keys:'''

*S (Move Forward)
*Left Analog Stick Down

Be warned, however, that accelerating increases the rate at which your chocobo's stamina gauge depletes. If you run out of stamina, your speed will drop, and you will be unable to accelerate for the remainder of the race.

====Magicked Panels====
Magicked Panels have beneficial and detrimental effects. The green and blue ones are beneficial, while the red and purple ones are detrimental.

Blue increases your speed temporarily, green gives you about 7% extra stamina, red inflicts Heavy status for 5 second and purple decreases your stamina by 15%.

===Weather Effects===
Chocobo races are held outdoors, and therefore subject to varying weather conditions. However, certain chocobos can turn this to their advantage. For instance, some chocobos perform well under cloudless skies, while others thrive in storms. Players can receive several beneficial effects when racing in their birds' preferred conditions.

===Completing the Race===
A race will conclude when all participants have crossed the finish line, or 30 seconds after a winner is declared. The results will be determined at this time, with MGP and experience points awarded based on your performance. Furthermore, among those who finished 2nd to 7th, one person will be selected via roulette to receive bonus experience points.

===Racing UI===
The following unique UI elements are displayed during chocobo races.
*Position in Race, top left corner by default.
*Stamina Gauge, bottom-center of the screen by default.
*Race Item Notices, bottom right corner by default.

These UI elements are displayed in place of the currently existing UI elements:
*Party List --> Position in Race
*Parameter Bar --> Stamina Bar
*Notices --> Race Item Notices

===Tips and Tricks===
*There is collision between chocobos, so don't use Spring Shoes when you are directly behind another.

*Budget your stamina. Look at your track completion percentage then look at your stamina gauge. Make sure you have enough stamina to finish the race. Make sure you are not too frugal with stamina usage. In a perfect world, your stamina will hit 0 right when you cross the finish line.

*In R-60 or higher races, avoid mobs. When you hit a mob, you lose speed and 3-5% stamina. You can jump over some smaller ones such as mandragora.

==Chocobo Challenge==
Chocobo Challenge is a new mode added in patch 3.25.
===Entry ===
Challenge races will be available upon speaking with the Race Chocobo Registrar in the Chocobo Square (X:6.1, Y:4.8).
*Chocobo ratings must exceed a certain threshold to participate.

Speak with the Race Chocobo Registrar in the Chocobo Square (X:6.1, Y:4.8) and select your desired challenge race.
*Players cannot register for challenge races while in a party.

===Challenge Races===
Increasingly difficult challenges will be made available as players complete each race. Please note that your chocobo's rating must exceed a certain threshold to participate in each race.

Players will only receive a reward for their first-time completion. Completing specific challenges unlocks additional abilities for purchase from the Tack & Feed Trader.

'''Rules'''

Special opponents will appear in each race. Challenges can only be cleared by placing higher than these special opponents.
* Players will be matched with other players and regular NPCs in addition to special opponents.

'''Special Racing Opponents'''

Special racing opponents are denoted by a unique icon next to their name, as well as a different colored nameplate. Multiple special racing opponents may be present depending on the challenge selected. In such cases, players must place higher than all special racing opponents to clear the challenge.
* The color of their display names is adjustable by selecting Engaged Enemies under the NPCs tab of Display Name Settings in the Character Configuration interface.

==Covering==
Retired racing chocobos can [[#Breeding|breed]] with other chocobos of the opposite sex. Their offspring will increase in Pedigree Level, inherit Stars for each stat, gain a new ability, and gain some of its parent's characteristics, such as color. The breeding process allows the player to raise stronger chocobos.

Only chocobos that are at least rank 40 can retire and become breeders. You want to retire chocobos of both genders, male and female, in order to breed.

You can also breed with pre-made chocobos from Gold Saucer in exchange for [[Manderville Gold Saucer Points]].

===Unlock===
To unlock Covering, players must complete the quest [[Like Sire Like Fledgling]]. They can start the quest by speaking to [[Chocobokeep]] in [[Chocobo Square]] (X:6, Y:4) in [[Gold Saucer]]. Players must have completed the [[So You Think You Can Ride This Chocobo]] quest and has a rank 40 or higher Chocobo.

When retiring your race chocobo, you can offer some parting words, praising one of its two abilities. The ability praised will remain as its hereditary ability to be passed down through covering.
*Please note that a race chocobo cannot be re-registered once retired.

===Preparing Chocobos for the Covering===
Both male and female chocobos are required when arranging a covering. Furthermore, only one of the pair may be a breeding chocobo from the Manderville Gold Saucer.

===Arranging the Covering===
When you have prepared the chocobos for covering, speak with Katering in the Central Shroud at Moogle's Gift Mounts (X:20, Y:22). Please note that arranging a covering will incur a fee.

===Receiving a Proof of Covering===
Upon payment, Katering will take the two chocobos into her care, and you will receive a Proof of Covering, which indicates when you can retrieve your fledgling chocobo. Speak with her again after 30 minutes to receive your new racing chocobo.
*The fledging chocobo will inherit its color from one of its parents.

===Collecting Your Fledgling===
After the appointed time, speak with Katering to exchange the Proof of Covering for your fledgling.

Chocobo Racing is an activity released with the [[Gold Saucer]] in patch 2.51. During this activity, players act as breeders, trainers and jockeys of their [[chocobos]]. Players can enter their well-bred and carefully trained chocobos into races to increase their [[#Rank | ranks]] and win [[Manderville Gold Saucer Points]].

Note that the chocobo you use in Chocobo Racing is NOT your [[companion]]/[[mount]] chocobo.
==Unlock==
Players must complete the level 15 questline starting with [[So You Want to Be a Jockey]]. Players can start the quest by talking to [[Race Chocobo Registrar]] in [[Gold Saucer]] (X:6, Y:4). Players must have previously completed [[It Could Happen to You]].

==Levels==
===Rank===

A chocobo's '''Rank''' is its level, which can be increased with experience from racing. The maximum rank is 50, but chocobos can be [[#Covering|retired]] as early as rank 40.

Every time your chocobo's rank increases, 5 [[#Stats|stats]] will be randomly selected and increased by 1% of their maximum value. A particular stat can be chosen multiple times in a single level-up. It also earns a [[#Feeds|feeding]] opportunity.

At Rank 10, your chocobo will learn a new [[#Abilities| ability]], chosen at random. If the ability is removed (using [[lethe water]]), a new ability is selected the next time your chocobo's rank increases.

===Rating===
A chocobo's '''Rating''' is a comprehensive measure of its ability, and determines which racing class your chocobo may enter. It is the average number of your 5 [[#Stats|stats]] (without any bonuses from [[#Feeds|feeding]]).

A higher rating grants entry to more prestigious races, but may also prevent racing in lower classes.

Maiden Class is for Rating 1-20, R-40 Class is for Rating 1-40, R-60 requires Rating 41-60, R-80 requires Rating 41-80, and so on, R-300 being the highest with a range of R241-300. Your chocobo will earn far greater EXP and slightly more [[MGP]] in higher tier races.

If you don't feed your chocobo or use lower Grade Feeds, you will have a slight disadvantage against well-fed chocobos with a similar rating.

==Stats and Abilities==
===Stats===
{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! stat
! Effect
|-
|[[Maximum Speed]] || Affects how quickly your chocobo can run.
|-
|[[Acceleration]] || Affects how quickly your chocobo can attain maximum speed.
|-
|[[Endurance]] || Affects the threshold at which your chocobo gains "Lathered" status and consumes stamina at an increased rate.
|-
|[[stamina]] || Affects the total amount of stamina your chocobo has.
|-
|[[Cunning]] || Affects how effectively your chocobo can navigate a course with rough terrain.
|-
|}

The stats of your chocobo are displayed in the form (current stats)/(stat cap). Each rank up increases all of your stats, and they can also be increased through training with feed. All gains through all sources are proportional to your respective maximum in that stat. The game keeps track of decimals internally. You'll notice that if you train your bird with the same feed, the amount you get will sometimes differ by 1 due to internal rounding.

The formula for your Stat Cap is:

'''Stat Cap = 40 * (Pedigree Level + Star Rating) - 20'''

Your first chocobo will start with 1 Pedigree Level and 2 Star Rating in all stats so it will have stat cap of 100 in all stats. A chocobo with Pedigree of 2 and 2 Stars in all stats will have stat cap of 140. The maximum stat cap is 500, requiring a Pedigree Level 9 Chocobo with a full 4 Star Rating.

Your chocobo can have a maximum of 2 abilities: one learned and one hereditary.

You chocobo will learn an ability at [[#Rank|Rank 10]]. You can force your chocobo to unlearn its ability by using [[Lethe Water]] purchased from [[Track & Feed Trader]] for 10 [[MGP]]. On the next Rank increase, your Chocobo will randomly learn a new ability. You can also purchase Training Manuals from [[Track & Feed Trader]] to teach your chocobo a specific ability.

Your chocobo can inherit an ability from its parents. Each parent has a 50% chance of passing on its ability to a specific offspring.

==Feeds==
You can feed your chocobo once per rank-up. The feeding sessions are stockpiled. You can save up for better food if you need to.

==Racing Items==
In addition to [[#Magicked Panels|magicked panels]], you may come across treasure coffers containing race items. Race items will be added to your hotbar automatically. While some offer beneficial effects for you and your chocobo, others can be used to hinder your opponents.

{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Item
! Type
! Rarity
! Effect
|-
|Choco Potion || Self || Common || Instantly restores stamina by 10%.
|-
|Stamina Tablet || Self || Common || Prevents stamina reduction for 10 seconds. If stamina is at zero, restores a small amount of stamina.
|-
|Sprint Shoes || Self || Common || Summons a quick burst of speed for 3s. Functionally identical to the ability Choco Dash III.
|-
|Choco Aether || Self || Common || Allows a previously used race ability to be executed again.
|-
| Bacchus's Water || Offensive || Common || Sends the forerunning chocobo into a Frenzied state for 15 seconds and increases its stamina loss.
|-
|Graviball || Offensive || Common || Inflicts the forerunning chocobo with Heavy for 10 seconds.
|-
|Briar Caltrop || Offensive || Common || Surrounds your chocobo with a ring of thorns which will sap the stamina of any chocobos that enter at a rate of 5% per second (up to 4 seconds).
|-

|-
|}
*After acquiring an item, you can activate it through your hotbar.

===Tips and Tricks===
Avoid getting hit by '''Briar Caltrop''' at all cost. Briar Caltrop appears as a circular wall of thorns, move away from it ASAP, or it will drain about 10 to 20% of your stamina. Do not trade Briar Caltrops with another player(s), because even if you sap their stamina, they will sap yours as well. Unaffected players will easily overtake the both of you.

'''Stamina Tablet''' not only prevents you from losing stamina for 10 seconds, it also prevents all other forms of stamina loss such as being hit by Briar Caltrop or Choco Meteor.

If you are ahead, try to control what items your opponent can get. Do not take an item if the next one will be far more useful to you, or if leaving it behind may allow your opponent to catch up.

It is highly recommended that between the ranks 1-20, you use the ability '''Dressage'''.

The ability '''Super Sprint''' gives the chocobo a movement speed of 500.

The most effective abilities are '''Chocobo Cure''', '''Chocobo Dash''' and '''Chocobo Drain'''(especially if ```Chocobo Drain``` is parried with '''Speedy Recovery''').

Chocobo Racing itself does not provide a lot of MGP, with about 1.000 for Rating 300 races, but the rewards for completing challenges very high.

Raising a Chocobo to Pedigree 9 is a very tedious task and not highly recommended.

==Breeding==
Breeding in Chocobo Racing is called [[#Covering|Covering]]. You can retire your chocobo and use him/her for breeding when he/she reaches Rank 40. Breeding allows you to increase the Pedigree Level of your future chocobo. Every Pedigree Level increases all of your chocobo's maximum stats by 40. For example, if a Pedigree Level 1 chocobo has a max of 100 in [[stamina]], [[acceleration]], a Pedigree Level 2 chocobo will have a max of 140 in all of its stats.

Note that you can only increase your Pedigree Level by 1 for each breeding. You only need to breed with a Chocobo that has the same or higher Pedigree Level. For example, don't waste your money and breed your Pedigree 1 chocobo with a Pedigree 9 one. You only need to breed with another Pedigree 1 chocobo. Their offspring is going to be Pedigree 2 regardless.

While breeding a chocobo, each parent has a 50% chance of passing on its ability to its offspring. Additionally, each parent's color has a 50% chance of passing down. Offsprings inherit Star Ratings randomly from their grandparents, not their parents. Each grandparent's star rating is equally likely to be passed to an offspring.

Note that your chocobo's stats do not matter while breeding. Only its Pedigree Level, Stars and Abilities do. If you want powerful chocobos (Pedigree 9, 4 Stars across), breed your chocobo as soon as it hits rank 40. Do not waste your time and money to raise the stats of your initial chocobos.

After retiring, your chocobo you can breed it up to 10 times. If its offspring is unsuitable, you can discard it and try again.

==Racing==
Up to 8 players and their chocobos can enter into a race, allowing you to enter a race as a full party.

During the race, your chocobo will run along the course automatically. Players can increase the speed of their chocobos by holding forward, which increases the rate of [[stamina]] stamina consumption. The course is divided into invisible "tracks" spanning the width of the course and pressing left or right will move you onto the adjacent "track". You want to steer your chocobo into speed boosts and out of speed decreases. When you pick up an item, you will be able to use it from your hotbar.

As you continue to enter races and your chocobo gains experience, it will grow stronger, and its rating will increase. A higher rating will earn you entry to races in higher classes. However, your chocobo will become barred from participating in lower class races.

===Accessing Chocobo Square===
To acquire a racing chocobo, register your chocobo, and begin racing, players must first proceed to the Chocobo Square by speaking with the lift operator Saethrith at the Entrance Square of [[Gold Saucer]] (X:4, Y:6).

===Preparing for Chocobo Racing===
====Obtain a Registration Form====
After completing the prerequisite quest, players can register their racing chocobo. Over the course of the quest, players will receive either Fledgling Chocobo Registration G1-M or Fledgling Chocobo Registration G1-F depending on the preferred gender of their chocobo.

*In the event you accidentally discard your registration form or wish to acquire a new racing chocobo, a new registration form can be purchased from the Feathertrader NPC at Bentbranch Meadows in [[Central Shroud]] (X:20, Y:22).

====Register Your Racing Chocobo====
After acquiring your registration form, speak with the Race Chocobo Trainer NPC at the Chocobo Square (X:6, Y:4) to complete registration for your chocobo and give it a [[Race_Chocobo_Name_List|name]].

*A fixed fee in gil is required for each name change.

====How to Enter a Race====
To enter a race, speak with the Race Chocobo Registrar NPC at the Chocobo Square (X:6, Y:4) to select from the races available at your rating. Players who wish to practice the basics of chocobo racing can repeat the training course as many times as desired.
* Please note that you cannot register for duties when queuing to enter a race.

To view your race chocobo's rating, select Character from the main menu, followed by Gold Saucer, then select Chocobo from within the interface.

===Controls===
====Steering====
To steer your chocobo left and right, press the following buttons or keys:

'''Steer Left'''
*A (Move Left)
*Q (Strafe Left)
*Left Analog Stick

'''Steer Right'''
*D (Move Right)
*E (Strafe Right)
*Left Analog Stick

====Speed and Stamina====
'''To accelerate, press any of the following buttons or keys:'''

*W (Move Forward)
*LB (L1) Button
*Left Analog Stick Up

'''To decelerate, press any of the following buttons or keys:'''

*S (Move Forward)
*Left Analog Stick Down

Be warned, however, that accelerating increases the rate at which your chocobo's stamina gauge depletes. If you run out of stamina, your speed will drop, and you will be unable to accelerate for the remainder of the race.

====Magicked Panels====
Magicked Panels have beneficial and detrimental effects. The green and blue ones are beneficial, while the red and purple ones are detrimental.

Blue increases your speed temporarily, green gives you about 7% extra stamina, red inflicts Heavy status for 5 second and purple decreases your stamina by 15%.

===Weather Effects===
Chocobo races are held outdoors, and therefore subject to varying weather conditions. However, certain chocobos can turn this to their advantage. For instance, some chocobos perform well under cloudless skies, while others thrive in storms. Players can receive several beneficial effects when racing in their birds' preferred conditions.

===Completing the Race===
A race will conclude when all participants have crossed the finish line, or 30 seconds after a winner is declared. The results will be determined at this time, with MGP and experience points awarded based on your performance. Furthermore, among those who finished 2nd to 7th, one person will be selected via roulette to receive bonus experience points.

===Racing UI===
The following unique UI elements are displayed during chocobo races.
*Position in Race, top left corner by default.
*Stamina Gauge, bottom-center of the screen by default.
*Race Item Notices, bottom right corner by default.

These UI elements are displayed in place of the currently existing UI elements:
*Party List --> Position in Race
*Parameter Bar --> Stamina Bar
*Notices --> Race Item Notices

===Tips and Tricks===
*There is collision between chocobos, so don't use Spring Shoes when you are directly behind another.

*Budget your stamina. Look at your track completion percentage then look at your stamina gauge. Make sure you have enough stamina to finish the race. Make sure you are not too frugal with stamina usage. In a perfect world, your stamina will hit 0 right when you cross the finish line.

*In R-60 or higher races, avoid mobs. When you hit a mob, you lose speed and 3-5% stamina. You can jump over some smaller ones such as mandragora.

==Chocobo Challenge==
Chocobo Challenge is a new mode added in patch 3.25.
===Entry ===
Challenge races will be available upon speaking with the Race Chocobo Registrar in the Chocobo Square (X:6.1, Y:4.8).
*Chocobo ratings must exceed a certain threshold to participate.

Speak with the Race Chocobo Registrar in the Chocobo Square (X:6.1, Y:4.8) and select your desired challenge race.
*Players cannot register for challenge races while in a party.

===Challenge Races===
Increasingly difficult challenges will be made available as players complete each race. Please note that your chocobo's rating must exceed a certain threshold to participate in each race.

Players will only receive a reward for their first-time completion. Completing specific challenges unlocks additional abilities for purchase from the Tack & Feed Trader.

'''Rules'''

Special opponents will appear in each race. Challenges can only be cleared by placing higher than these special opponents.
* Players will be matched with other players and regular NPCs in addition to special opponents.

'''Special Racing Opponents'''

Special racing opponents are denoted by a unique icon next to their name, as well as a different colored nameplate. Multiple special racing opponents may be present depending on the challenge selected. In such cases, players must place higher than all special racing opponents to clear the challenge.
* The color of their display names is adjustable by selecting Engaged Enemies under the NPCs tab of Display Name Settings in the Character Configuration interface.

==Covering==
Retired racing chocobos can [[#Breeding|breed]] with other chocobos of the opposite sex. Their offspring will increase in Pedigree Level, inherit Stars for each stat, gain a new ability, and gain some of its parent's characteristics, such as color. The breeding process allows the player to raise stronger chocobos.

Only chocobos that are at least rank 40 can retire and become breeders. You want to retire chocobos of both genders, male and female, in order to breed.

You can also breed with pre-made chocobos from Gold Saucer in exchange for [[Manderville Gold Saucer Points]].

===Unlock===
To unlock Covering, players must complete the quest [[Like Sire Like Fledgling]]. They can start the quest by speaking to [[Chocobokeep]] in [[Chocobo Square]] (X:6, Y:4) in [[Gold Saucer]]. Players must have completed the [[So You Think You Can Ride This Chocobo]] quest and has a rank 40 or higher Chocobo.

When retiring your race chocobo, you can offer some parting words, praising one of its two abilities. The ability praised will remain as its hereditary ability to be passed down through covering.
*Please note that a race chocobo cannot be re-registered once retired.

===Preparing Chocobos for the Covering===
Both male and female chocobos are required when arranging a covering. Furthermore, only one of the pair may be a breeding chocobo from the Manderville Gold Saucer.

===Arranging the Covering===
When you have prepared the chocobos for covering, speak with Katering in the Central Shroud at Moogle's Gift Mounts (X:20, Y:22). Please note that arranging a covering will incur a fee.

===Receiving a Proof of Covering===
Upon payment, Katering will take the two chocobos into her care, and you will receive a Proof of Covering, which indicates when you can retrieve your fledgling chocobo. Speak with her again at the appointed time to receive your new racing chocobo.
*The fledging chocobo will inherit its color from one of its parents.

===Collecting Your Fledgling===
After the appointed time, speak with Katering to exchange the Proof of Covering for your fledgling.

Chocobo Racing is an activity released with the [[Gold Saucer]] in patch 2.51. During this activity, players act as breeders, trainers and jockeys of their [[chocobos]]. Players can enter their well-bred and carefully trained chocobos into races to increase their [[#Rank | ranks]] and win [[Manderville Gold Saucer Points]].

Note that the chocobo you use in Chocobo Racing is NOT your [[companion]]/[[mount]] chocobo.
==Unlock==
Players must complete the level 15 questline starting with [[So You Want to Be a Jockey]]. Players can start the quest by talking to [[Race Chocobo Registrar]] in [[Gold Saucer]] (X:6, Y:4). Players must have previously completed [[It Could Happen to You]].

==Levels==
===Rank===

A chocobo's '''Rank''' is its level, which can be increased with experience from racing. The maximum rank is 50, but chocobos can be [[#Covering|retired]] as early as rank 40.

Every time your chocobo's rank increases, 5 [[#Stats|stats]] will be randomly selected and increased by 1% of their maximum value. A particular stat can be chosen multiple times in a single level-up. It also earns a [[#Feeds|feeding]] opportunity.

At Rank 10, your chocobo will learn a new [[#Abilities| ability]], chosen at random. If the ability is removed (using [[lethe water]]), a new ability is selected the next time your chocobo's rank increases.

===Rating===
A chocobo's '''Rating''' is a comprehensive measure of its ability, and determines which racing class your chocobo may enter. It is the average number of your 5 [[#Stats|stats]] (without any bonuses from [[#Feeds|feeding]]).

A higher rating grants entry to more prestigious races, but may also prevent racing in lower classes.

Maiden Class is for Rating 1-20, R-40 Class is for Rating 1-40, R-60 requires Rating 41-60, R-80 requires Rating 41-80, and so on. Your chocobo will earn far greater EXP and slightly more [[MGP]] in higher tier races.

If you don't feed your chocobo or use lower Grade Feeds, you will have a slight disadvantage against well-fed chocobos with a similar rating.

==Stats and Abilities==
===Stats===
{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! stat
! Effect
|-
|[[Maximum Speed]] || Affects how quickly your chocobo can run.
|-
|[[Acceleration]] || Affects how quickly your chocobo can attain maximum speed.
|-
|[[Endurance]] || Affects the threshold at which your chocobo gains "Lathered" status and consumes stamina at an increased rate.
|-
|[[stamina]] || Affects the total amount of stamina your chocobo has.
|-
|[[Cunning]] || Affects how effectively your chocobo can navigate a course with rough terrain.
|-
|}

The stats of your chocobo are displayed in the form (current stats)/(stat cap). Each rank up increases all of your stats, and they can also be increased through training with feed. All gains through all sources are proportional to your respective maximum in that stat. The game keeps track of decimals internally. You'll notice that if you train your bird with the same feed, the amount you get will sometimes differ by 1 due to internal rounding.

The formula for your Stat Cap is:

'''Stat Cap = 40 * (Pedigree Level + Star Rating) - 20'''

Your first chocobo will start with 1 Pedigree Level and 2 Star Rating in all stats so it will have stat cap of 100 in all stats. A chocobo with Pedigree of 2 and 2 Stars in all stats will have stat cap of 140. The maximum stat cap is 500, requiring a Pedigree Level 9 Chocobo with a full 4 Star Rating.

Your chocobo can have a maximum of 2 abilities: one learned and one hereditary.

You chocobo will learn an ability at [[#Rank|Rank 10]]. You can force your chocobo to unlearn its ability by using [[Lethe Water]] purchased from [[Track & Feed Trader]] for 10 [[MGP]]. On the next Rank increase, your Chocobo will randomly learn a new ability. You can also purchase Training Manuals from [[Track & Feed Trader]] to teach your chocobo a specific ability.

Your chocobo can inherit an ability from its parents. Each parent has a 50% chance of passing on its ability to a specific offspring.

==Feeds==
You can feed your chocobo once per rank-up. The feeding sessions are stockpiled. You can save up for better food if you need to.

==Racing Items==
In addition to [[#Magicked Panels|magicked panels]], you may come across treasure coffers containing race items. Race items will be added to your hotbar automatically. While some offer beneficial effects for you and your chocobo, others can be used to hinder your opponents.

|-
|}
*After acquiring an item, you can activate it through your hotbar.

===Tips and Tricks===
Avoid getting hit by '''Briar Caltrop''' at all cost. Briar Caltrop appears as a circular wall of thorns, move away from it ASAP, or it will drain about 10 to 20% of your stamina. Do not trade Briar Caltrops with another player(s), because even if you sap their stamina, they will sap yours as well. Unaffected players will easily overtake the both of you.

'''Stamina Tablet''' not only prevents you from losing stamina for 10 seconds, it also prevents all other forms of stamina loss such as being hit by Briar Caltrop or Choco Meteor.

If you are ahead, try to control what items your opponent can get. Do not take an item if the next one will be far more useful to you, or if leaving it behind may allow your opponent to catch up.

It is highly recommended that between the ranks 1-20, you use the ability '''Dressage'''.

The ability '''Super Sprint''' gives the chocobo a movement speed of 500.

The most effective abilities are '''Chocobo Cure''', '''Chocobo Dash''' and '''Chocobo Drain'''(especially if ```Chocobo Drain``` is parried with '''Speedy Recovery''').

Chocobo Racing itself does not provide a lot of MGP, with about 1.000 for Rating 300 races, but the rewards for completing challenges very high.

Raising a Chocobo to Pedigree 9 is a very tedious task and not highly recommended.

==Breeding==
Breeding in Chocobo Racing is called [[#Covering|Covering]]. You can retire your chocobo and use him/her for breeding when he/she reaches Rank 40. Breeding allows you to increase the Pedigree Level of your future chocobo. Every Pedigree Level increases all of your chocobo's maximum stats by 40. For example, if a Pedigree Level 1 chocobo has a max of 100 in [[stamina]], [[acceleration]], a Pedigree Level 2 chocobo will have a max of 140 in all of its stats.

Note that you can only increase your Pedigree Level by 1 for each breeding. You only need to breed with a Chocobo that has the same or higher Pedigree Level. For example, don't waste your money and breed your Pedigree 1 chocobo with a Pedigree 9 one. You only need to breed with another Pedigree 1 chocobo. Their offspring is going to be Pedigree 2 regardless.

While breeding a chocobo, each parent has a 50% chance of passing on its ability to its offspring. Additionally, each parent's color has a 50% chance of passing down. Offsprings inherit Star Ratings randomly from their grandparents, not their parents. Each grandparent's star rating is equally likely to be passed to an offspring.

Note that your chocobo's stats do not matter while breeding. Only its Pedigree Level, Stars and Abilities do. If you want powerful chocobos (Pedigree 9, 4 Stars across), breed your chocobo as soon as it hits rank 40. Do not waste your time and money to raise the stats of your initial chocobos.

After retiring, your chocobo you can breed it up to 10 times. If its offspring is unsuitable, you can discard it and try again.

==Racing==
Up to 8 players and their chocobos can enter into a race, allowing you to enter a race as a full party.

During the race, your chocobo will run along the course automatically. Players can increase the speed of their chocobos by holding forward, which increases the rate of [[stamina]] stamina consumption. The course is divided into invisible "tracks" spanning the width of the course and pressing left or right will move you onto the adjacent "track". You want to steer your chocobo into speed boosts and out of speed decreases. When you pick up an item, you will be able to use it from your hotbar.

As you continue to enter races and your chocobo gains experience, it will grow stronger, and its rating will increase. A higher rating will earn you entry to races in higher classes. However, your chocobo will become barred from participating in lower class races.

===Accessing Chocobo Square===
To acquire a racing chocobo, register your chocobo, and begin racing, players must first proceed to the Chocobo Square by speaking with the lift operator Saethrith at the Entrance Square of [[Gold Saucer]] (X:4, Y:6).

===Preparing for Chocobo Racing===
====Obtain a Registration Form====
After completing the prerequisite quest, players can register their racing chocobo. Over the course of the quest, players will receive either Fledgling Chocobo Registration G1-M or Fledgling Chocobo Registration G1-F depending on the preferred gender of their chocobo.

*In the event you accidentally discard your registration form or wish to acquire a new racing chocobo, a new registration form can be purchased from the Feathertrader NPC at Bentbranch Meadows in [[Central Shroud]] (X:20, Y:22).

====Register Your Racing Chocobo====
After acquiring your registration form, speak with the Race Chocobo Trainer NPC at the Chocobo Square (X:6, Y:4) to complete registration for your chocobo and give it a [[Race_Chocobo_Name_List|name]].

*A fixed fee in gil is required for each name change.

====How to Enter a Race====
To enter a race, speak with the Race Chocobo Registrar NPC at the Chocobo Square (X:6, Y:4) to select from the races available at your rating. Players who wish to practice the basics of chocobo racing can repeat the training course as many times as desired.
* Please note that you cannot register for duties when queuing to enter a race.

To view your race chocobo's rating, select Character from the main menu, followed by Gold Saucer, then select Chocobo from within the interface.

===Controls===
====Steering====
To steer your chocobo left and right, press the following buttons or keys:

'''Steer Left'''
*A (Move Left)
*Q (Strafe Left)
*Left Analog Stick

'''Steer Right'''
*D (Move Right)
*E (Strafe Right)
*Left Analog Stick

====Speed and Stamina====
'''To accelerate, press any of the following buttons or keys:'''

*W (Move Forward)
*LB (L1) Button
*Left Analog Stick Up

'''To decelerate, press any of the following buttons or keys:'''

*S (Move Forward)
*Left Analog Stick Down

Be warned, however, that accelerating increases the rate at which your chocobo's stamina gauge depletes. If you run out of stamina, your speed will drop, and you will be unable to accelerate for the remainder of the race.

====Magicked Panels====
Magicked Panels have beneficial and detrimental effects. The green and blue ones are beneficial, while the red and purple ones are detrimental.

Blue increases your speed temporarily, green gives you about 7% extra stamina, red inflicts Heavy status for 5 second and purple decreases your stamina by 15%.

===Weather Effects===
Chocobo races are held outdoors, and therefore subject to varying weather conditions. However, certain chocobos can turn this to their advantage. For instance, some chocobos perform well under cloudless skies, while others thrive in storms. Players can receive several beneficial effects when racing in their birds' preferred conditions.

===Completing the Race===
A race will conclude when all participants have crossed the finish line, or 30 seconds after a winner is declared. The results will be determined at this time, with MGP and experience points awarded based on your performance. Furthermore, among those who finished 2nd to 7th, one person will be selected via roulette to receive bonus experience points.

===Racing UI===
The following unique UI elements are displayed during chocobo races.
*Position in Race, top left corner by default.
*Stamina Gauge, bottom-center of the screen by default.
*Race Item Notices, bottom right corner by default.

These UI elements are displayed in place of the currently existing UI elements:
*Party List --> Position in Race
*Parameter Bar --> Stamina Bar
*Notices --> Race Item Notices

===Tips and Tricks===
*There is collision between chocobos, so don't use Spring Shoes when you are directly behind another.

*Budget your stamina. Look at your track completion percentage then look at your stamina gauge. Make sure you have enough stamina to finish the race. Make sure you are not too frugal with stamina usage. In a perfect world, your stamina will hit 0 right when you cross the finish line.

*In R-60 or higher races, avoid mobs. When you hit a mob, you lose speed and 3-5% stamina. You can jump over some smaller ones such as mandragora.

==Chocobo Challenge==
Chocobo Challenge is a new mode added in patch 3.25.
===Entry ===
Challenge races will be available upon speaking with the Race Chocobo Registrar in the Chocobo Square (X:6.1, Y:4.8).
*Chocobo ratings must exceed a certain threshold to participate.

Speak with the Race Chocobo Registrar in the Chocobo Square (X:6.1, Y:4.8) and select your desired challenge race.
*Players cannot register for challenge races while in a party.

===Challenge Races===
Increasingly difficult challenges will be made available as players complete each race. Please note that your chocobo's rating must exceed a certain threshold to participate in each race.

Players will only receive a reward for their first-time completion. Completing specific challenges unlocks additional abilities for purchase from the Tack & Feed Trader.

'''Rules'''

Special opponents will appear in each race. Challenges can only be cleared by placing higher than these special opponents.
* Players will be matched with other players and regular NPCs in addition to special opponents.

'''Special Racing Opponents'''

Special racing opponents are denoted by a unique icon next to their name, as well as a different colored nameplate. Multiple special racing opponents may be present depending on the challenge selected. In such cases, players must place higher than all special racing opponents to clear the challenge.
* The color of their display names is adjustable by selecting Engaged Enemies under the NPCs tab of Display Name Settings in the Character Configuration interface.

==Covering==
Retired racing chocobos can [[#Breeding|breed]] with other chocobos of the opposite sex. Their offspring will increase in Pedigree Level, inherit Stars for each stat, gain a new ability, and gain some of its parent's characteristics, such as color. The breeding process allows the player to raise stronger chocobos.

Only chocobos that are at least rank 40 can retire and become breeders. You want to retire chocobos of both genders, male and female, in order to breed.

You can also breed with pre-made chocobos from Gold Saucer in exchange for [[Manderville Gold Saucer Points]].

===Unlock===
To unlock Covering, players must complete the quest [[Like Sire Like Fledgling]]. They can start the quest by speaking to [[Chocobokeep]] in [[Chocobo Square]] (X:6, Y:4) in [[Gold Saucer]]. Players must have completed the [[So You Think You Can Ride This Chocobo]] quest and has a rank 40 or higher Chocobo.

When retiring your race chocobo, you can offer some parting words, praising one of its two abilities. The ability praised will remain as its hereditary ability to be passed down through covering.
*Please note that a race chocobo cannot be re-registered once retired.

===Preparing Chocobos for the Covering===
Both male and female chocobos are required when arranging a covering. Furthermore, only one of the pair may be a breeding chocobo from the Manderville Gold Saucer.

===Arranging the Covering===
When you have prepared the chocobos for covering, speak with Katering in the Central Shroud at Moogle's Gift Mounts (X:20, Y:22). Please note that arranging a covering will incur a fee.

===Receiving a Proof of Covering===
Upon payment, Katering will take the two chocobos into her care, and you will receive a Proof of Covering, which indicates when you can retrieve your fledgling chocobo. Speak with her again at the appointed time to receive your new racing chocobo.
*The fledging chocobo will inherit its color from one of its parents.

===Collecting Your Fledgling===
After the appointed time, speak with Katering to exchange the Proof of Covering for your fledgling.
