Rank 20 chocobo - Leviathan
All 3 trees maxed: http://i.imgur.com/I0n9LkI.png
Aside from a handful of weekly challenge logs, I leveled it primarily through the stables. It took roughly 1500 krakka root, and just over a month with twice hourly feedings the majority of the day. I may have overfed it though: http://i.imgur.com/8B5UXuI.png
EXP from training starts very high (8% at R1), and quickly drops to 1% by R6-R10. R11 gives 0.9%, and each rank after drops by 0.05% until it tapers off to an even 0.5% during the last few ranks.
Aside from the first barding being unlocked at 10, the second was at 16 and the third was at 20.
Ranks 1-10 give 1, 2, 3 SP etc. Ranks 11-16 give 10 SP each. Ranks 17-20 give 11, 12, 13 and 14 SP, just enough to hit the 165 required to max all 3 trees.
Ranks 1-10 take 5,364,100 exp. Ranks 11-20 take an additional 24,202,000 exp.
