thanks for the step by step. is the number the total amount you fed or the number of times you saw the "growing feathers" message?

Number of total amount I fed. However on the plums I did feed till I got the msg. I fed one and didn't get it so I fed another and got the msg.

I somehow managed to feed ~ 12 foods and get a 6-hour countdown that did nothing. Awesome gameplay.

I've been feeding it only berries, pears and apples. After getting Othard blue I went heavy on apples with some pears on the side and got Regal Purple. Then I fed 2 apples and 3 pears successfuly and got this.

Assuming ~+/-5 points on the RGB scale per fruit I worked out that successfully feeding 9 berries, 8 pears, 6 apples and 1 plum should result in the Soot Black I'm aiming for.

Going to try that next... as soon as these plants grow.

Thats because you didnt read the messages given out by the system or you did the exact feeding to go forward 3 steps and back 3 steps, back to starting point

I used lightening foods for each color. If it took me in reverse, again I'll say: awesome gameplay. These 6-hour, trial-by-fire game mechanics aren't fun at all.

How many new feather messages? On which fruits? Stable condition?

One of the worst implementations of what otherwise is a nice addition they've ever did, and that's saying alot, considering we have atmas.

So in the beginning I went from Desert Yellow > Cactuar Green > Apple Green > Cactuar Green before I realized it was important to count the new feather procs not the general number of fruits given but since I've been following the thread I know more now so I have some color results.

After I got stuck in the loop between Cactuar and Apple I decided to change it up.

Edit* Stable Condition was Good for all of these...

Cactuar Green: Fed 22 Apples, Procs on the last 6.
Result was Moss Green.
Moss Green: Fed 8 O'Ghomoro Berries, Procs on the last 6.
Result was Currant Purple, which is what I'm at now.
Here's a SS.
