3 Pineapples = from MB you get: 46/46/48. Damn it, that might do it :)

And ive got Grape Purple, /ffs!

Can some1 explain how from Midnight BLue: 31/31/63 ive arrived to Grape 63/47/63 according to the last Excel...or Grape Purple 52/36/54 normal Excel with 3 pineapples?

Back to the drawing board. What you think should get me close to Soot Black?

My Dalamud Red Chocobo. :D

Here's my frustrating journey to soot black so far: (started out with the numbers of the actual fruits fed, then at the line, switched to how many feather messages from each fruit)

1: 17 apple, 18 pear, 18 berry
-Bark Brown-
2: 10 apple, 10 pear, 15 berry
-Deepwood Green-
3: 5 apple, 6 pear
-Hunter Green-
4: 13 plum, 14 valfruit, 7 berry
-Royal Blue-
5: 5 apple, 5 pear
-Regal Purple-
6: 6 berrie, 5 pear
-Royal Blue-
7: 10 apple, 5 pear
-Rolanberry Red-
---------------------
8: 6 plum, 3 pear
-Nophica Green-
9: 2 valfruit
-Woad Blue-
10: 6 pineapple
-Mud Green-
11: 7 plum, 7 valfruit, 2 pineapple
-will find out in the morning-

The further I go the more I understand from reading this thread but I still want to pull my hair out! I've spent a fortune on fruits I just want my black choco TT TT

good luck with your soot black chocobo. i obviously can't guarantee it will be soot black because there seems to be some RNG but i had currant purple and followed the above steps and hit soot black.

I got Deepwood Green by doing the same combination. So I'm getting close, but getting bad RNG I guess. Thanks for the tip :)

Here is my Charcoal Gray chocobo :3 Was gonna go for Gloom Purple from there but decided to keep it:

went something like abyssal blue > void blue > storm blue > royal blue > grape purple > currant purple > soot black

if you look back through my posts you can see the fruit steps from like storm or royal that someone helped me out with.

Mission accomplished!

So I started at the default color and fed my chocobo 5 plums. This resulted in Sylph Green. Anyone have advice on what is the minimum I should do now to get to Snow White?

Edit: Got my white after 14 total plums. Only got a total of 2 "new feathers" messages. Default > Sylph Green > Snow White
