This should help greatly in min/max'ing chocobo raising for the like three of us that actually care about such things. Mostly it just seems like an area of the game that hasn't been solved yet, and I think it'd be nice to get it hammered out.
Also, demystifying this stuff will prolly be helpful for pserver devs who wanna try and get the backend behavior as close to the real server as possible.
So, to start, my references:
1. How chocobo stats work from Niniann via this guide here: https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/32770/ninians-guide-to-chocobo-raising-v2/#2001744
Specifically the Attribute Levels section
2. Parsing of chocobo stats from Ivaar's chococard windower addon: https://github.com/Ivaar/Windower-addons/blob/master/chococard/chococard.lua
I wrote a simpler ashita addon that simply finds the first chococard in my inventory and pulls the four attributes off it, then prints it to the chat
Then I used this to log my chocobo's stats after every action (Do Action -> Get Card -> Log Stats -> Drop card -> Repeat)
So here's what I have found so far:
