After the 4 apples, you should be in RR zone.

Thank you so much!!! I finally achieved my Rolanberry Red :D

Can't deal with this BS anymore, I fed it three pineapples as I was told, from MB and am now stuck at Kobold Brown AGAIN.

You need to sing "I feel for you" (Chaka Khan BGM) to your bird for it to play nice. :p

But this may be useful info. From MB->KB it would have taken 4 pineapples + 2 apples, and you got there with 3 pineapples, which means you gained extra 1 pineapple and 2 apple.

This time, from KB, try feeding it 1 berry (to knock off the pineapple), then follow by the 2 plums. If my assumption is right, you should see your 1st feather proc on the 1st plum.

My brain...kind of hurts. So. I've recently gotten my choco to rank 10, and got the dragoon armor, so now I REALLY want currant purple chocobo. I started from shale brown and jumped to gloom purple, to shadow blue, to deepwood green. And according to this link, one plum might have taken me from deepwood green to currant purple. Unfortunately it pushed me all the way to morbol green. And according to this calculator, I need 1 berry, 1 valfruit, and 4 apples. I did that, so we'll see what I get next...

Wish I could have gotten a reply sooner, I'd already fed it a single plum and got a feather proc.

Probably stuck me back in the loop, should I feed it the berry and plum at this point or what?

Is there a way to cancel the change, and "redo" this round of feeding? There's still several hours left until it changes.

Yes, you can reset, just take the bird out of the stable, but you don't need to since as long as you are still in the same 6 hrs, you can still feed it the berry to knock off the pineapple.

So since I fed a plum already, I should feed it one berry and then a final plum?

Yeah, the color map was based on the old single fruit feeding until feather proc method, when we didn't know as much and that was the best method we had at that time. After figuring out the microfeeding method we pretty much trashed all of that out and directly work with the RGB value of any given in game color.

The color map method still works, just that there are way too many traps and it isn't designed to do direct color to color adjustments.

sigh, so I have to reset it then, since I fed it a plum too
