Level 99 Red Chocobo

[deathgirlkira]

I am on the hunt for one of these. Ca someone please tell me how to make the appear.

It can spawn in the Haulo Green area of the Ozmone Plains after Reddas joins the party. It has a 1 in 256 chance to replace the spawn of one of the other Chocobos there. You can use petrify to kill them to make respawns go faster.

Note that even with the petrify method, it will usually take HOURS to get it to spawn.

Tank you for replying Hinnyuu. I Read that it dops a Ribbon every time you kill one. I that true? Is that the only ti get a Ribbons.

[Hinnyuu]

Yes, they drop Ribbon 100%. They also have a 90% Monograph drop for Gemsteel, and a 3% steal for an Empyrean Soul (in case you're still making that Tournesol).

IMHO they're absolutely NOT worth the grind, though. Ribbons are the worst in FFXII they have ever been in Final Fantasy games - they're good, don't get me wrong, but it's so blatantly easy to just switch in the right accessory on the fly in FFXII (or cure statuses automatically via gambits) that I barely if ever bother with it. I prefer just using performance accessories instead.

You also get two Ribbons for basically free from chests in Henne and Subterra so it's just not worth it to spend hours trying to get a 99Red to spawn.

But to each their own, of course.

Yeah I can see y our point. Is there any way you cold send screen shots of all the white trees for the Gil Snapper hunt.

I would suggest checking out the FF Wiki, it has great info on stuff like this.

https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Gil_Snapper_(Final_Fantasy_XII)

There's also a repository of area maps with all treasures listed:

The maps for Giza (Rain) there also include the locations of the withered trees.

Thanks again. I fee like I owe you, I love the Zodica system. The only change I wish they did make was having a no time limit on the Chcobos. Or the fact that Gurdy can charge you more gil as the game goes on she should at least give you more time.

If you're hell bent on finding that Chocobo, then it's better you get them on trial mode. Trial mode 95 if I'm correct, 3 of them spawns together and you're getting higher chance of getting 3 ribbons in a row (you have to steal with cuffs), but that's one bloody difficult fight even if your party is fully maxed out. And you get the chance to steal ribbon in from Hashmal as well from Trial mode 49.

If you need 3 ribbons, then I suggest getting them the easier way like I'm doing, 1 is in henne mines, 1 in pharros abyssal, 1 given as a final reward in hunt club.
