Hey

First off what is your plans for your chocobo? Racing, riding or digging?

Let me know that and I can help further.

No problem

There are debating reports regarding the benifit of speed on a chocobo. Given that i will give you two ways to do this.

1st - Raising physical then mental, envolves chocobo bucks.
Set your care plan to carry packages, 7 days for each of the 4 plans. Feed 3 vomp carrots a day, 1 long walk a day and drain energy with watching over it. It is important to keep your chocobo's affection at "regards as parent". This will raise your str and end. The purpase of these stats are str affects running speed while end affects riding time which is vital to digging.

Now because your stats are where they are this may take a little longer but keep at it until you hit 1st class. I know it seems high but this is what you want. Once you hit 1st class on those two stats switch your training to "Exhibit to the public" again 7 days on each of the 4 trainings until you hit day 65 feeding Zegham Carrots. This will cause your stats to freeze and you need chocobo bucks to raise stats higher.

7 training sessions of 80 chocobo bucks each will raise a stat fully. This helps if you start racing once your str and end hit 1st class, you will have better results and earn more chocobucks. This is the method i use mostly for my birds and i can get mine to Str: 1st class, End: Impressive, Disc: Better than Average, recp: Substandard. This is a good riding and racing bird so you would want to have these all flipped for you. You will also want to teach it Burrow and Bore from stories Worrisome and Youthful. You get these while on walks with your chocobo by meeting NPC's.

2nd - Probably a little easier
Start with raising mental stats first by changing care plan to Exhibit to the public until recp hits substandard then switch to Dig for treasure until first class. This however will not give you a bird you can race with for chocobo bucks so once you hit day 65 you are stuck. Oh and feed Zegham Carrots.

Chocobucks are earned by racing with the NPC's outside of the stables before going into the chocobo circuit. There are 8 races that cycle through and you can not reset that cycle. The cost of races goes 100gil, 150gil, 200gil, 300gil, 400gil, 600gil, 800gil, 1000gil and this resets jap midnight.

An ideal digging chocobo from what i have heard is str: average or better than average, end: impressive or outstanding, Disc: impressive or Outstanding (outstanding better of course), recp: substandard or average. Now keep in mind you have approx 22 "points" to put into your bird with the level counting as a point depending how high it is. This would put you at 21 points. If you want this kind of a bird be prepared to put the money and time into it.

All that making sense?
