Companions
- Main article: Chocobo
Companions are pets that will fight alongside you. Players will not only be able to level up his or her Chocobo companion but also customize their looks and abilities. Players can specialize their personal Chocobos into tanks, healers or damage dealers by allocating their skill points into the Defender, Attacker or Healer skill trees.
Obtaining Chocobo Companion
Chocobo Companions are unlocked after the completion of My Feisty Little Chocobo quest at level 30 or higher. The quest starting NPC is Docette, located in Camp Tranquil in South Shroud (x17,y28).
Summoning Chocobo Companion
You will need to use a Gysahl Greens to summon your Chocobo. When summoned, Chocobo acts as a member of your party. After death or dismissal, you will need to expend another Gyshahl Greens to re-summon your Chocobo.
- Gysahl Greens can be purchased for 36 gil each from Maisenta< Black Raddit Traders> (x??,y??) in New Gridania, Roarich< Independent Importer> (X10, Y9) in Ul'dah - Steps of Nald and Bango Zango <Brugaire Consortium> (X9, Y11) in Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks.
- You cannot ride your Chocobo while it is summoned as a companion.
Customizing Chocobo Companion
As Chocobos defeat monsters and obtain experience, they level up and gain skill points (SP). Skill points can be spent to grant your Chocobo bonus stats and abilities and specialize it into tank, healer or dps roles. Defender tree allows it to become a better tank, Attacker tree allows it to become a damage dealer and Healer tree allows it to become a better healer.
- Players should specialize their Chocobos to compensate the weaknesses of their [[classess]. For example, Thaumaturge, a squishy, ranged damage dealer, might allocate all of his SP into the Defender tree to make his Chocobo a better tank.
