Talk:Chocobo Egg (Bit Warm)

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

My own chocobo came from a "bit warm" egg, and because one may both purchase it or quest it rather easily for free, I suspected that if the different types corresponded to different chocobo breeds, that the "bit warm" egg would most likely be the common yellow. However, a player in Windurst today saw that his chocobo had turned blue and made an announcement. I asked him what egg he had used and he said, "bit warm". Anyone else have different results? I will be surprised if "bit warm" eggs have a predisposition to being Palfreys; however, the egg type SURELY matters -- otherwise the "little warm" and "somewhat warm" eggs wouldn't be so difficult to obtain as opposed to the others. --Chacharu 10:05, 11 September 2006 (EDT)

Perhaps its merely the greater chance that it goes along the lines of the colors available to one type of chocobo. I think blue was available to more than one type of chocobo, and I think the wild ones were the ones Brutus was raising, so perhaps it has a small chance to be any color in the wild? The other eggs might have a larger chance of turning up a color. --Chrisjander 10:31, 11 September 2006 (EDT)

Maybe it simply has something to do with the ease, or speed of growth. Its also possible that the temperature of the egg may represent a leaning towards certain stat affinities. --Aelis 14:06, 11 September 2006 (EDT)

I did the Jeuno quest for this egg and my chocobo is black. I'm thinking the color may have more to do with the way you raise it as an egg and newborn. I have had a lot of good luck with her and she has only ever been sick once since I got her. Oh, and she's gorgeous :)

I'm pretty sure it has more to do with "genetics" as SE has described. I'm guessing once you start the raising process, the game assigns your egg its genetics based on where it came from (quest, ISNM, breeding) and then you raise it from there. They've said outright that they're using a genetics based way to determine a chocobo's traits, so I think it'll just (at first) be as random as nature as to whom gets a black or other colored chocobo. After that, players can mess with breeding to produce more colors, as players were meant to do. --Chrisjander 20:38, 10 October 2006 (EDT)
