It is time to begin!

Well, let's start by telling how I came to get a chocobo egg and beginning my chocobo training career.
Yesterday, I joined FFXI after quitting for some time, and the chocobo raising feature had just been implemented this same week.
So I quickly sold some items (I had no money because everything was in my brother's old mule), and when I got enough gil to buy an egg, I went to Ru'Lude Gardens to buy it for 1040 G.
Then, I used 120 G to travel by chocobo to the nation of San d'Oria, my home. I visited the stables and traded my egg to the official chocobo trainer. And so, the raising began.
I discovered that watching over your chocobo very often would increase the affection between the two of us. So that when the chocobo was born, he would love me even more!
But that was all I could do for now. I could not tell whether the chick was male or female.
I set a basic care plan to help my chocobo while I was away. I would get a daily report, starting from the next day. The plan would last for 3 days, and then I would have to set another new plan.

During the second day, which was today, I went to watch over my chocobo many times. The conditions had not changed much. I still had an egg, and could not tell what the chick's gender was. But that doesn't matter! Whether the chocobo will be male or female, I'll still love it as much.
Early in the afternoon, I got my first care plan report. My chocobo egg was doing great!
In 2 or 3 more days, the egg would hatch, and I would have a small baby to feed!

I also joined a linkshell group for chocobo trainers. I'm having fun in it, and have learned a lot from the members.

I can't wait to see the results for my chocobo's care and raising tomorrow!
