Also remember that Chocobo Racing got buffed across the whole spectrum. The R-240 vs R-300 numbers probably need to be revisited. Because:
-
Races now give more MGP
Feed is now significantly cheaper
Races give more EXP which makes getting to retirement easierMaybe we should start putting together some info 🙂
I know R-300 gets you the most.
What i’m talking about is cost/benefit ratios. The R-240 bird was big because of the massive cost/benefit of it.
With all the increases in awards and drop in cost of 3rd tier feed, it may have impacted the cost/benefit ratio of the R-240 build – which is why I said it might be a worthwhile topic to revisit for long term farming.
Not to mention with the experience buff – the amount of time required to get to R-240/R-300 has significantly dropped, which is another factor to consider.
I obviously know that R300 has the greatest amount of MGP/win – that wasn’t at all what my post was about.
Yeah might be a good point. We better note the 1st place reward in R240 for comparison. As for the cost, its still huge imo.. The key difference here is that for R240 you dont need 17-20 star chocobo to win consistently, but for R300 you do. Getting those stars from RNG breeding is the most painful grind. Lucky you if you got it on your way to pedigree 9.
I think I found a cheat skill combo. Super Sprint + Breather. I was draining my MGP the other night sifting through breeding slips and rolled this skill. The birdie itself got very low stars so I was considering to abandon it. But decided to check it out in the end.
Man thats some nuclear chocobo! Super Sprint drains stamina like no tomorrow, a full bar in just 30% of the race. But then Breather comes in. And before you know it, youre at half stamina again. Tried two strategies for now. 1) Using Super in the beginning and heal after that. 2) Accelerating and decelerating to keep stamina at 90% and pop Super in the end of the race. Second one is like whoosh from 8 place to 1. And while you drag in behind you get all the best items from chests like Meteor and Hero Tonic. I dont know why we even need stars anymore. But maybe its just the low rank balance idk.
Sorry u9w30y dude, thats more what I meant 🙂
I don’t know how much a 1st place win in R240 is.I just got lucky with my R300 choco. (its R285 and i win alot. 7/10 times?)
@lyfox That Super Sprint build sounds fun! aha I think for myself i’m going to stick with my R300 choco, I just lucked out and cba to breed any more at the moment!
I found getting stars si not TO hard as long as you get the best slips from GS all the time.
