Legacy Choco, combat/mountFollow

Hello there,

I am having a problem with something that should be so simple.
I recently returned to the game, and I am attempting to mount my choco, whilst it is "summoned" in combat, as I hear that was updated recently.

I have already completed the quest to allow you to summon a battle chocobo, at level 30.

However the only mountable choco I have is the "Legacy Chocobo", and when summoned, the option to mount/dismount in the companion window simply displays an error message: "Cannot execute".

I had a feeling maybe I needed to complete the "My little chocobo" quest, as they summon alternate chocobos (I know this as the legacy choco does not have choco gear on, but my combat choco does when summoned for combat).

But for some reason, my GC leader will not give me any quests at all, and I am well over level the level requirement. Nor do I have the "My little choco" quest in my completed section of the Lominsan side quests.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

when u have ur companion out u can only mount the company chocobo. so u need to have the company chocobo on ur bar. game will not let u mount anything else. and your grand company doesn't habve any quest relating to chocobo.

Yep, that's exactly it - you cannot summon the bird for battle until you've done "My Little Chocobo." That quest starts with the Chocobo renter in your town, I think.

Have you ranked up in your GC yet? You can purchase ranks by turning in seals, and then purchase the license to complete the quest from the Quartermaster.

Right now you can only summon the company bird. The legacy chocobo is only for traveling in style. (He is an older bird; you can tell because his tail feathers are so dark. The company gives you a much younger bird that can withstand the rigors of combat.)

Thanks for that, but yes I am max rank in the GC, and I do not have the quest "My Little Chocobo" in the complete section of the Lominsa journal, nor does the npc give it me, even though I am high enough level - I have also checked all GC's.

I have done the companion quest, as I can summon, and also mount a choco that I named.


The mount/dismout for company choco does not work when I have the company choco summoned or not.
it simply remains grey, I am totally confused :(

Edit: Oddly enough, when I am mounted, I can use the "Company Choco" to unmount, but then it greys out and I can not mount it. They only choco I can mount is Legacy.

Okay then, the next quest is "My Feisty Little Chocobo" which starts in Camp Tranquil. Is that one available for you to start?

Edit: Rereading your request....

You cannot mount anything if you have a companion chocobo summoned for combat. You have to dismiss the bird first. This is why you see people dragging their birds from FATE to FATE.

Gysal Greens are cheap, at least.

Since 2.2 (I think?) you are able to mount your GC chocobo now while you have it summoned. It's the only mount that the game lets you use when the companion is out.

Alas, I dunno anything about legacy stuff though.

Then this is very strange, I am not able to mount my GC choco whilst is summoned.
(I assume I used the choco whistle a long time ago, as I do not have the quest available for some reason)

On computer, the only way that i can do it is by right clicking the chocobo and choosing mount. Hope that helps.

I'll have to test that out. (I'll try RDCing into my home computer during lunch break - been trying to get that to work for days now using TeamViewer... good opportunity to test.)

I mount the chocobo when it's summoned (which I believe is labeled specifically "Company Chocobo" if my memory isn't failing me) just by selecting it on my crossbar like I usually do for mounts.

The catch is that it must specifically be the Company Chocobo. Every other mount, including the Mount Roulette, is greyed out for me on my crossbar when I have the chocobo summoned.

Thanks for the input so far, its appreciated. Sadly none of that worked.

Just so you guys know I am not going (even more) crazy, I have some images to illustrate.

Here I have my GC choco summoned, and both choc shortcuts are greyed out, The top one being the Legacy, and the left one being the Company mount/dismount choco option:

Here you can see when I have no choco summoned for battle or mount,suggesting I cant mount/summon the GC choco at all:

Have you tried deleting the icon and replacing it from the list in the Mounts menu? Could be a glitch.

I was able to mount my company chocobo while it was summoned by right clicking the bird and selecting Mount.

I was able to mount and dismount using the Company Chocobo icon on my hot bar.

You say you completed the quest My Feisty Little Chocobo to summon a bird in battle with the Ghysals Greens and you are actually summoning your company chocobo. Is this your old 1.0 Company Chocobo? (I can't even remember if we got to keep this. I know I couldn't put on my old Limsa uniform until I'd ranked up again.)
