Гонки на чокобо — это захватывающее соревнование в «Золотом блюдце», в котором участвуют специально обученные чокобо. Тренируйте своего чокобо, улучшая его способности, и разводите ушедших из гонок птиц, чтобы передавать их лучшие качества. Так вы сможете вырастить чокобо-чемпиона, о котором всегда мечтали.
Посещение Золотого Блюдца
Чтобы получить гоночного чокобо, зарегистрировать его и начать участвовать в гонках, игрокам необходимо отправиться на Chocobo Square, поговорив с оператором лифта Saethrith на Entrance Square (X:4.4 Y:6.7).
После выполнения необходимого квеста игроки смогут зарегистрировать своего гоночного чокобо. В ходе задания игрок получает один из следующих предметов: Fledgling Chocobo Registration G1-M или Fledgling Chocobo Registration G1-F — в
зависимости от выбранного пола чокобо.
* Если вы случайно удалили регистрационную форму или хотите получить нового гоночного чокобо, новую форму можно приобрести у NPC Feathertrader в Bentbranch Meadows в Central Shroud (X:20.4 Y:22.8).
Получив регистрационную форму, поговорите с NPC Race Chocobo Trainer на Chocobo Square (X:6.0 Y:4.7), чтобы зарегистрировать своего чокобо и дать ему имя.
* За каждую смену имени взимается фиксированная плата в гилах.
Чтобы принять участие в гонке, поговорите с NPC Race Chocobo Registrar на Chocobo Square (X:6.1 Y:4.7) и выберите одну из гонок, доступных для вашего рейтинга. Игроки, желающие освоить основы гонок на чокобо, могут проходить тренировочный
курс неограниченное количество раз. Также можно записаться на гонку через Duty Finder, если вы прошли обучающий курс по гонкам на чокобо.
* Обратите внимание: вы не сможете записаться в другие активности, пока стоите в очереди на гонку.
* При участии в группе через Duty Finder характеристики чокобо будут синхронизированы с характеристиками чокобо с самым низким рейтингом в группе.
| Battle | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Chocobo Race: Random | All participants must own a race chocobo. |
| Chocobo Race: Sagolii Road | All participants must own a race chocobo. |
| Chocobo Race: Costa del Sol | All participants must own a race chocobo. |
| Chocobo Race: Tranquil Paths | All participants must own a race chocobo. |
* These conditions apply to Chocobo Races and Chocobo Races (Party Member).
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. By the same token, however, your chocobo will become barred from participating in races in a lower class.
To view your race chocobo's rating, select Character from the main menu, followed by Gold Saucer, then select Chocobo from within the interface.
A race will conclude when all participants have crossed the finish line, or 30 seconds after the winner is decided. 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.
* The roulette does not grant additional MGP.
* You cannot rejoin a race in the event your connection is lost.
* Participation in Chocobo Races (Party Member) does not grant MGP or experience.

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.
When neither accelerating nor decelerating, the chocobo will gradually return to its normal running speed.
Advanced Rules
Scattered throughout the course are magicked panels which bestow various effects when triggered. Be mindful, however, that magicked panels can bestow both beneficial and detrimental effects. Should you choose to avoid one of these panels, you can either steer away from or jump over them.
In addition to 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.
| Item | Effect | |
|---|---|---|
|
Choco Potion | Instantly restores stamina by 10%. |
|
Stamina Tablet | Instantly restores stamina while preventing stamina reduction for 10 seconds. |
|
Sprint Shoes | Summons a quick burst of speed. |
|
Choco Aether | Allows a previously used race ability to be executed again. |
|
Graviball | Afflicts the forerunning chocobo with Heavy. |
|
Bacchus's Water | Sends the forerunning chocobo into a Frenzied state. |
|
Briar Caltrop | Surrounds your chocobo with a ring of thorns which will sap the stamina of any chocobos that enter. |
|
Hero Tonic | Invigorates your chocobo for 15 seconds, increasing its overall performance while nullifying any enfeeblements. |
|
Choco Meteor | Summons a meteor from the heavens to wreak havoc on all other chocobos. |
|
Stamina Swapper | 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 | Renders the chocobo running immediately behind you unable to use items. |
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 a number of beneficial effects when racing in their birds' preferred conditions.

Raising Your Race Chocobo
You can improve your race chocobo's performance in two ways:
As you continue to enter races and your chocobo gains experience, its rank will increase, improving its attributes and occasionally granting a new ability. You will also gain entry to races in higher classes, and will have the option to retire your race chocobo after rank 40 to be used for covering.
Should you wish to develop a given attribute, you can give your race chocobo a special feed. This feed can be crafted or purchased from the Tack & Feed Trader NPC in the Manderville Gold Saucer at Chocobo Square (X:5.9 Y:4.7).
| Attribute | Effect |
|---|---|
| Maximum Speed | Affects how quickly your chocobo can run. |
| Acceleration | Affects how quickly your chocobo can attain maximum speed. |
| Endurance | Affects how long your chocobo can run before becoming exhausted. |
| Stamina | Affects how quickly your chocobo's stamina gauge drains. |
| Cunning | Affects how effectively your chocobo can navigate a course without slowing down. |
Race chocobos can possess two types of abilities: hereditary and acquired abilities, and are allowed one of each. Hereditary abilities are inherited by the offspring of chocobos used in covering, while acquired abilities are learned as your
bird increases in rank, and via training manuals. Certain abilities are always active during the race, while others must be used at the rider's discretion.
* Manually activated abilities may only be used once per race.
From rank 10 onward, race chocobos that have yet to learn an acquired ability may do so at random upon gaining in rank.
To teach your race chocobo a specific ability, players can use training manuals purchased with MGP.
A race chocobo acquired through covering will inherit one ability from its parents.
To unlearn a race ability, players must first purchase a bottle of lethe water, then speak with the Race Chocobo Trainer NPC in the Manderville Gold Saucer at Chocobo Square (X:6.0 Y:4.7). Please note, however, that only acquired abilities can be unlearned.
If you choose to retire your race chocobo, you can arrange a covering with another chocobo to produce fledglings of a higher pedigree.
Before a covering can be arranged, players must complete the following quest:
To arrange a coupling, you must be in possession of at least one retired chocobo registration form, which can be obtained by retiring a rank 40 or higher race chocobo. A covering can be arranged between two of your own retired chocobos, or between one retired chocobo and a breeding chocobo hired at the Manderville Gold Saucer. To retire your race chocobo, speak with the Race Chocobo Trainer NPC in the Manderville Gold Saucer at Chocobo square (X:6.0 Y:4.7).
When retiring your race chocobo, you will be given the opportunity to offer parting words to your chocobo, 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.
Both a male and female chocobo are required when arranging a covering. Furthermore, only one of the pair may be a breeding chocobo from the Manderville Gold Saucer.
When you have prepared the chocobos for covering, speak with Katering in the North Shroud at Moogle's Gift Mounts (X:20.4 Y:22.8). Please note that arranging a covering will incur a fee.
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.
After the appointed time, speak with Katering to exchange the Proof of Covering for your fledgling.
Chocobo Challenge
Challenge races will be available upon speaking with the race chocobo registrar in Chocobo Square (X:6.1 Y:4.7).
* Chocobo ratings must exceed a certain threshold to participate.
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 will be 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 can be adjusted by selecting Engaged Enemies under the NPCs tab of Display Name Settings in the Character Configuration interface.
Speak with the race chocobo registrar in Chocobo Square (X:6.1 Y:4.7) and select your desired challenge race.
* Players cannot register for challenge races while in a party.
