Additional Information
This NPC offers the following options:
- Race Chocobo Training - Use Feed items to increase the chocobo's stats.
- Teaching Race Abilities - Use a manual item purchased from the Tack & Feed Trader to teach the chocobo an ability. The ability slot must be empty first.
- Unlearning Race Abilities - Use a
Lethe Water purchased from the Tack & Feed Trader to unlearn the chocobo's current ability, leaving the slot empty. - Race Chocobo Registration - Use a "Fledgling Chocobo Registration" to register a new chocobo for racing. Can only be done if there is no chocobo currently registered.
- Changing a Chocobo's Name - For
2,000, change the name of the currently-registered racing chocobo. Names are 1 or 2 words long, and are restricted to a distinct list of possible words. For a list of possible words, see Race Chocobo Name List.
- Certain word combinations are forbidden. If this happens, the NPC will inform the player that the name cannot be used.
If a word combination is forbidden
Ah... Forgive me, but it seems that the name you requested is... How shall I put this? Ineligible.
- Retiring a Race Chocobo - Permanently retires the currently-registered racing chocobo.
- If the chocobo was rank 40 or above, the player receives a "Retired Chocobo Registration" representing it, which can then be used for breeding a new chocobo.
- It is also possible to retire a chocobo at rank 39 or below, but in that case the player receives nothing.
- Learn More - prompts the following question options:
What will you ask?
Why should I train my race chocobo?
As your chocobo gains experience, it will naturally grow stronger. However, should you wish to develop a given attribute, it would behoove you to consider training.
Do bear in mind that training can be rather taxing─both physically and mentally. Eventually, your chocobo will receive no benefit from it.
This condition is not permanent, of course. Given time and experience, your chocobo will once more grow receptive to training.
As for feed, which is an essential component of any training session─a selection of quality blends can be purchased from our tack & feed trader.
What are the benefits of training each attribute?
An excellent question, sir/madam. Would that every jockey took the time to learn such essential information.

Your chocobo's attributes will gradually improve as it increases in rank. Use training sessions to reinforce strengths and address weaknesses in its development.
When should I retire my race chocobo?
Chocobos cannot live this life forever. If you judge that yours has reached its full potential, you may wish to consider retirement.
Be warned that, once retired, a race chocobo cannot be re-registered. It is not a decision to be made lightly.
Nevertheless, rather than an end, I would encourage you to think of retirement as a new beginning.
After all, if you choose to arrange a covering for your retired chocobo, you may be blessed with a fledgling strong enough to carry on its parents' legacy─or surpass it!
Once retired, chocobos can no longer participate in sanctioned chocobo races. However, they can be bred, resulting in a new chocobo for you to train and race. This process is called covering.
Upon retiring a race chocobo of rank 40 or higher, you will receive a retired chocobo registration form. Two such forms are required for arranging a covering.
Please be advised that race chocobos less than rank 40 cannot be retired. If you choose to part ways with one such chocobo, it will become the property of the Manderville Gold Saucer, and you will receive nothing in exchange.
What are hereditary and acquired abilities?
As their names indicate, the main difference between hereditary and acquired abilities is the manner in which chocobos obtain them.
If a chocobo is skilled with an ability, then there is a possibility that that chocobo's offspring will inherit said ability.
These hereditary abilities can prove to be invaluable assets, and a jockey would do well to take note of any his/her chocobo possesses.
If you are particularly ambitious, you might even consider arranging a covering to breed a fledgling with an ability of your choosing. Katering at Moogle's Gift Mounts could tell you more...but I digress.
In contrast, acquired abilities are a far more simple matter. A qualified trainer such as myself can─with the requisite manual─simply teach these abilities to your chocobo, provided that your chocobo has not already learned another ability in this manner.
I can, of course, unteach these abilities as well. You need only furnish me with a vial of lethe water, which our tack & feed trader can provide.
