I'll be changing joblocation within two weeks,
so I am currently working double-time (my usual work @1 + trainingsessions @2),
therefore I haven't been able to play ffxi much, stand alone update this weblog.

Fortunately this all is really temporary (as usual)…

I'll be updating again as soon as work lets me,
in the meantime please forgive me for the lack of posts

After almost days of secrecy,
the time has finally come to introduce him to the world

I want you to meet "Lord Joyeuse", a very strong chocochick
which one day will outrun all other chocobos on Shiva

As it has been 18 days already and my chick is still in a rather good shape, even while
I didn't play much ffxi for the past 2 weeks and therefore didn't spend spend much time to go
check upon him.

Only since today it has been feeling a little ill,
which it has never been until now…

Here are my experiences with the chocobo-raising:
1° Try alterating as many options as possible: listen to music – basic care
- rest – basic care – rinse and repeat

2° Don't overfeed it, nor check it TOO often, I strongly believe checking it too often
might make it overdependable on you and therefore weaker. ((took a while before it regarded me
as parent))

3° If you know for a fact that you won't be able to care for your chocobo,
make sure you have it in restmode on that day.

Edit: It's been 3 days now and Lord Joyeuse just doesn't want to wake up anymore !
I told him to rest 1 day about 4 days ago, but he still continues sleeping.
Every day I see him do the activity I planned for him (listen to music, walk in town with stable boy),
but right after CS I just see him sleeping again.

I am so losing him !

His condition is already in "starving mode" and I have no idea what to do now
I even contacted a GM over this because I thought it was a glitch,
he suggested me speaking about it to other players since he said it's something I am doing wrong
in the care schedule WTH ??

If someone of you know what I am doing wrong, please tell me !
I really don't want to lose LJ over this after almost 20 days :'(
