Chocobo dyeing R&D Thread - Post your results here!

Is it possible to get a bright/snow white color on the chocobo?

Hi, my silly chocobo is caught in the Regal Purple - Dalamud Red loop. I want Rolanberry Red and not having ANY luck getting it.

Any advice?

Because i haven't got any "new feathers" mesages on pears :S It doesn't matter ?

And you confirm it's that for dalamud to soot black ?

Thanks

Whoever did the math got it right. And it is the total amount that matters with last fruit proc to confirm all the color jumps. And yes, it lands to soot black or seriously close. It's tough to land soot black in big jumps, but it's easier to fine tune when close.

If you fed pears, start by giving it the same amount of valfruits to reverse. The numbers from apple green are tough, but basically you need a lot of valfruit, pineapple and plums, so lets reverse first and review where you land.

Try:
berry 3
pear 2

Don't count procs, just fruits, the last one at least needs to proc to confirm guessed color.

Snow white is possible, it's the clearest color available, though it's not bright, more of a very light grey. Also, there is no black but soot black, which is a dark grey. Use this for reference: http://www.superslothdesign.com/chocobo/

Try the following:

apple 3
pear 3
pineapple 2
valfruit 2

Apple and pear go to ink blue and the valfruits and pears are confirmed jump from ink blue to soot black.

Expected result from exact value: To Target 4 1 -2
As close as you can get. Variance on any overshoots to something else. Feed total amount, only proc necessary is last one to confirm, don't count procs total but total fruit.

Does anyone have any advice on moving from Ceruleum Blue to Void Blue?

A small stretch should get you there. Try:

berry 9
apple 7
pear 8

Let us know. Count total fruits, not procs. But last should always be a proc to confirm jump to specified color.

Thank you so much. Will try this out. Thanks for all the help you give in this topic. I can't wrap my head around the processes.

Does it matter at all in which order I give the fruits?

i'm at gobbue grey right now and was hoping to get some help to get to snow white thank you

Soot Black : 1st feed: 32 berries, 25 apple, 15 pears to get Hunter green. 2nd feed: 3 apple, 2 valfruit will get you to soot black right away

Currently at Kobold Brown. Should I feed 1 plum or 2 to get to Soot Black?

Deepwood green again this time going for valfruit x1 and pineapple x1 let's see if get soot black i may end up having to reset and start over by the look of it.

in your opinion you think i should start over? it seem no matter what i feed like others have got soot black i don't land on it. So you think i should start over or keep trying?

If i do start over what should i feed it so i have a better chance of getting soot black this time around.

No particular order needed.

You're still too dark and away from the range. Gonna need many valfruits, plums and pineapples, to lighten it all up consistently for now. Feed many but equal numbers of the three and come back with new color. I'll help you get there.

One should be enough but 2 should be even closer. Go for one and repeat if needed.

Starting over would be a major pain as you need to go all the way to the other side of the spectrum again. We are close, seriously so. Remember to feed fruit amounts and not proc amounts. Just 1 valfruit and 1 pineapple.

Either grow them yourself at FC garden with seeds bought from hunt shop for allied seals, or buy the grown fruit, search for them by name. Markets are flooded with them usually.

Search market-board for full names:

O'Ghomoro Berries

Valfruit

Mamook Pear

Cieldalaes Pineapple

Doman Plum

Xelphatol Apple

Was at dalamud red, fed

pear 7
plum 3
berry 6

in 1 go, and got Royal Blue.

Soot black eludes me yet again.

Try:

apple 6
pear 6 (5 should work but 6 lands you even closer.)

Hello!

I've been stuck in a Deepwood green, Marsh green, Void blue, Kobold brown, and now Chestnut brown loop for about 2 weeks. I am getting a bit frustrated. XD;
I was at Deepwood green and fed: pineapples x 2 and valfruit x 2, which gave me Chestnut Brown, right now.

Please help. :(

Ok, so after bull-headedly trying to smash my way through the steps to getting the famed "Brown before Black" all in one go from reg yellow and getting some low ranking red I tried to blast through the red line without adding other colors. got 4 messages, stopped, came back and ... we got the milicorn yellow or w/e that's called. :/

Now I'm just gonna few it til one message and stop. Gonna take some days but I don't trust mixing and even though no ones using them I don't wanna blow through the supplies.

Two questions.

1) So we confirmed that "Deepen Red" means increase the R value and decrease the GB values? And "Lighten Red" does the opposite?

2) Does any fruit fed before the "feather proc" count? I've head people only counting after the feather proc, but it seems to me to be more intuitive that all fruit counts, the feather proc only shows up if the fruit you just fed will result in a valid RGB different from the current color of your choco.

Sorry if these have been clarified, this is a big thread.

So, this lead me to Ochu Green
Ochu Green -> 1 Berry (5) -> Turquoise Green
Turquoise Green -> 8 Apples (10) + 9 Berries (9) + 9 Pears (9) + 2 Apples (2) -> Hunter Green
Hunter Green -> 1 Berry (6) -> Morbol Green.

I hope that will help someone :)

Try this, should land you on soot black, very close to perfect score:

valfruit 1

To Target -6 0 4

As you can see you very close to soot black i would wait too someone else can say go ahead and do 5 berry 5 apple and 5 pear. I thinking you would also have to get 15 overall growing message even if you feed over the 5. just wait and see what other have to say you may end up getting other color but you still be very close to black.

---

Thank you sir I feed this to my bo' today I was gonna feed 5 of each but did not get the msg for the 1st berry so I feed 6x berry, 5 apple, 5 pear. got the new feathers msg for everything except that first berry!!!

TYVM SIR YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

Should that be from Dalamud Red or from Regal Purple? He's sitting at Dalamud Red right now.. again.. Thank you in advance for your help!

Gonna do it , thx :D

Been stalking this thread for about a week now and am also on the journey to Soot Black. Tried to follow various people's posts to avoid the Deepwood Green/Ink Blue/Kobold Brown shift but it seems like I fell into it nonetheless, gahhh.

Anyway, after going from:

• Abyssal Blue (Forgot to record fruit)
• Woad Blue (8 apples, 6 pears and 6 berries)
• Deepwood Green (1 valfruit)
• Ink Blue (1 pinapple)
• Kobold Brown

I'm very nervous about what to feed my chocobo because I desperately want to avoid the dark color loop (and also just want to stop the dying shenanigans). Do I feed it one Doman Plum and I should be done? I'm worried that's going to bring me back to Deepwood or Ink.

Does anyone have any better suggestions? (Best of luck to everyone else trying to get their dream color!)

EDIT:
Decided to go for 2x plums. If it doesn't get me to Soot I'm hoping it at least gets me out of the loop
