Hints and tip for Final Fantasy IX

Someone wanted to know where the ocean chocograph can be found. Find the Qu's Marsh that is West of the Forgotten continent.

There is an island to the north of this where there are chocobo tracks. Get your chocobo to go north west of this island (in the ocean) and you will find the chest around there.

Someone also said they had a gold chocobo and couldn't get it to fly. All you have to do is stand in any forest while on the chocobo and press X. You can only land in forests as well.

I am on the third disc and I have found all of the chocograph chests. I have also found the chocobo's paradise. In the paradise I have spoke to the dark blue, purple and yellow/gold chocobo, and hence got 2 hints from each of them (you get the second hint by challenging them to a game of cards).

I was wondering if and how I can get more hints of the other chocobo's (like the red one on the ledge you can't reach).

Also, I have bought the Doga's Artifact, Rat Tail, Griffen's Heart and Une's Mirror from the Treno auction house and yet no Magic Finger has come on sale yet.

All he will sell is the Magician's Robe, Fairy Earrings, Promist Ring, Madain's Ring and the Pearl Rouge.

I have all of these items already and so I am very reluctant to buy them again. What can I do to get the Magic Finger? Am I too early in the game for it to be on sale (just before you go to Ipsen's castle on disc 3)? Someone please help!!

Please submit the answers to any of my questions.
