Quick update after my 4th feeding. Here's a link to my previous post regarding my first three feedings: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post2383800

Fourth Feeding:

Sky blue at this point. Fed 7 O'ghomoro Berries, one at a time. Got the "growing new feathers" message after the 7th berry and stopped feeding. The resulting color was Raptor Blue.

Chronicle of Apples (and More) to Red and Beyond.

My journey of finding Reds and more. Maybe a way to Black eventually.

Something I have learned: In my opinion, it's better to feed one type of fruit at a time until you get one "new feathers are growing" message. Only keep going if you know what you're doing because you can skip over colors.

My Theory on attaining Soot Black. It starts on that post and continues on my next two posts.

I'm done with this line now.

**Han Lemon Fed.**

1st Stage - 1 Han Lemon, 28 Apples fed. (28 Apples total)
28 Apples fed. Skipping to Sunset Orange hopefully so I can get an even Blood Red. Then it's on to trying to find the high red color by feeding tons of apples.

Apple (deepens red) - increases red towards 255, decreases green and blue towards 0.
Plum (lightens red) - decreases red towards 0, increases green and blue towards 255.

Pear (deepens green) - increases green towards 255, decreases red and blue towards 0.
Valfruit (lightens green) - decreases green towards 0, increases red and blue towards 255.

Berry (deepens blue) - increases blue towards 255, decreases red and green towards 0.

Apple, Pear and Berry (fed at same time) - decreases all colours towards 0.
Plum, Valfruit, Pineapple (fed at same time) - increases all colours towards 255.


223 183 87 - Desert Yellow

Theorizing/Planning:
Didn't get to try this since I ended up on a weird path.
Rolanberry Red + Pears = Regal Purple or Russet Brown
Russet Brown + Berries = ???
??? + Apples = Wine Red??

[KaihHandsome]

So I got Snow White after 2 sessions:

1st Session: Base color --> Bone White
Doman Plums: 12 used, with 10 "feather" procs
Valfruit: 14 used, with 12 "feather" procs
Cieldales Pineapples: 7 used, with 6 "feather" procs

2nd Session: Bone White --> Snow White
Doman Plums: 9 used, with 6 "feather" procs
Valfruit: 2 used, with 2 "feather" procs

EDIT: Stable condition was Good throughout. I also rotated feeding the different fruits in the first session (i.e. 1 doman, 1 valfruit, 1 cieldales, 1 doman, 1 valfruit, etc.)

[Angelusdemonus]

Hey all, would like to add my progress.

I'm aiming for a blue color...specifically Raptor, but I semi screwed myself by not planting enough berries. My FC used them up by the first feeding, so while I wait for my berries to finish up (tomorrow probably), I tried to see if I could get to the blue palette through other means. (I have not been successful yet).

Here is my results thus far:

(Desert Yellow) - Used 12 Berries --> New Feathers after the 3rd feed, and all feeds after
Used 10 Pineapples -> New Feathers after all feeds
Used 6 Berries --> New Feathers after all feeds
Result: Ash Grey

(Ash Grey) - Used 4 Berries --> New Feathers after 1st feed, and all feeds after
Result: Goobbue Grey

(Goobbue Grey) - Used 10 Pear --> New Feathers after 4th feed, new feathers after the rest
Result: Meadow Green

(Meadow Green) - Used 6 Pineapples --> New Feathers after 3rd feed, new feathers after the rest
Result: Apple Green

(Apple Green) - Used 5 Apples --> New feathers after 5th feed
Result: Lime Green

I'm going to try two more variations, and if a blue palette doesnt show up by then, I'll be wiping the results and feeding 21 berries at desert yellow.

An update:

(Lime Green) - Used 10 Valfruit --> New Feathers after 6th feed, new feathers for the rest
Used 17 Berries --> New Feathers after 1st feed and every feed after
Result: Othard Blue!!!!!

I got lucky to get my hands on 17 berries, so I just used them all up, and that's the result. I'll probably use some feeds to try to get it to lighten up to raptor, but I'm very happy to get on blue color now.

[LyricalMelody]

My chocobo results so far


starting color: Regal Purple: Fed 12 O'ghmomoro berries with NO "new feathers" (I expect they will have no impact), fed 1 Dolman Plum => new feathers msg => Royal Blue
