FFXIV Chocobo Racing Guide: The champion chocobo
FFXIV Chocobo racing is an exciting competition at the Gold Saucer that makes use of specially trained chocobos. From improving their abilities through rigorous training to breeding retired chocobos for their traits, you can raise the champion chocobo you've always wanted. Racing is the best source of MGP now.
Where to Participate Chocobo Racing
To acquire a racing chocobo, register your chocobo, and begin racing, players must first proceed to Chocobo Square by speaking with the lift operator Saethrith at the Entrance Square (X:4.4 Y:6.7).
To enter a race, speak with the race chocobo registrar NPC at Chocobo Square (X:6.1 Y:4.7) 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. It is also possible to enter races via the Duty Finder, providing that you have played through the chocobo race tutorial.
* Please note that you cannot register for duties when queuing to enter a race.
* When participating as a party via the Duty Finder, chocobo attributes will be synced to the lowest-rated chocobo.
Controls are fairly simple for Chocobo Racing. You can accelerate, steer left and right, and jump. That's it. As you accelerate, you will start to burn through your Stamina. You'll quickly notice that there is a delay between using/losing Stamina, and it reflecting on your gauge. This is very important when trying to control your Stamina, as even if you let go of the accelerate button completely, it takes almost 10% Stamina before you stop using at all.
There are five stats that affect your chocobo
MAX SPEED - Simply affects how fast your chocobo can go.
ACCELERATION - How fast it takes to go from minimum speed to max speed.
ENDURANCE - How long it takes while running to enter Lathered state.
STAMINA - Maximum Stamina pool
CUNNING - AKA Balance or Traction, it's how easily you can change lanes and also how fast you can take corners without slowing down.
If you keep the accelerate button held down, you'll soon enter the Lathered state and the Stamina gauge will start to blink/glow, and suffer increased Stamina Drain. This isn't too critical, as you'll need to enter it quite often during a race, but it does require some control. If you completely run out of Stamina, you'll enter an Exhausted state and there is no way to recover from it without using items, abilities, or panels that recover some Stamina.
Through the racetrack, you'll encounter panels and item coffers. Item coffers give random items that are displayed in order before approaching the coffer. You can only hold one item at a time (unless a passive ability exists that allows more). Simply run through the coffers or jump to get the high ones. There are 4 kinds panels through the race courses as well. During Maiden division, there are no harmful panels, but every division after that has them.
To the grade 1 feed; with racing you have to spend a bit of MGP to earn it back later and using the grade 1 feed on birds you are leveling to breed makes it slightly more challenging but you can buy it with gil instead of MGP so it won't take a bite out of your profits like the grade 2 and 3. If I remember correctly, I used grade 1 feed until my 4th or 5th bird, then switched to grade 2 for the rest up until my 9th bird and saved the best feed for him.
