Damit... I should of kept my off-garden to chocobo feed. Was hoping to capitalize on these for profit.

Ganna have a shite-ton of dark blue at least....


Edit: Han lemon seeds seem to yield only one lemon... Might be wise to choose carefully which path you will colour... or plant more lemon seeds. I haven't used shroud soil on it though since I felt it wouldn't be important but it may have only increased the yield by one or two.

Edit2: I know this thread is focused on the dying results but for those curious, crossbreeding han lemon seeds with Krakka root and/or Valfruits yielded gyashl green seeds.

Dye seeds planted on patch day are ready for harvest already. I can not count, how many times we fertilised, but without fertilisation total grow time should be about 48 hours (maybe a little more). Will have to wait for the FC mate to log in and harvest to see the result, since we are on the agreement that you only harvest the seeds you planed.

I am a little late, it seems :)

I'm stilll assuming it's the RGB table divided by 50. 5/5/5 instead of 255/255/255. Every fruit would add or subtract 51 of the real RBG value.

The standard chocobo colour is "desert yellow", I'm assuming every colour has its own unique name. They'd want a wide range of colours, 5/5/5 would result into 125 unique colours. Still seems like a lot, even though you could completely change the colour of your chocobo with 15 snacks or less.

U_U Why does this have to be so complicated? Add red dye, should add/increase red. Nope!

I don't really understand all this adding and subtracting colors to make other ones.

Where I come from Red + Blue = Purple. Yellow + Blue = Green. Yellow + Red = Orange. Etc. etc.

Why can't things be simple? ;_;

That's what I've already mentioned in this very same thread ;)

They're using the same colour (names) as the colour dyes already in game (indeed minus pigments and urushis and instead Terebinth we have Lemon).

I'm glad you brought this up, because I've got this to share in terms of cross-breeding from the new fruit seeds:

I'm going to be honest, I don't remember the soil I used for this bed, but I'm almost convinced it was a side-by-side mixture of the chamomile I had near it with G3 Thanalan Soil that was planted prior to the patch, and the O'Ghomoro Berry seed with G3 Shroud soil planted after that must have made it produced 9 curiel root seeds and 36 O'Ghomoro Berries. Either that or it could have been the Xelphatol Apple with some sort of Shroud Soil added in to produce it. Never seen this happen before considering I've only used G3 Thanalan Soil for all cross-breeding excursions. I'm baffled, dumbfounded, and completely mind f***ed to say the least...

I fed it one of each feed however I only received a prompt that plumage will change in 6 hrs for the first I fed. Merely testing but if you can feed and feed and feed each color, AND they register as changing plumage, perhaps this dying process will be relatively short.

Yeah, Shroud soil can still crossbreed, but it's very rare (maybe 10% at best), but on the other hand you get multiple seeds. Interesting that it crossbred though, might make for some lightning-fast (well, comparatively) crossbreeding for specialty choco feed.

Hmm good thing I have a couple of slots free there... should dump in some more soil and plant them...

Really? Holy crap, so I guess my guess was correct then. I suppose the 2 plants, one with Thanalan soil and the other with Shroud soil really did increase the cross-bred seed result yield. I never knew that was even possible, even after reading all the guides, forum threads, and Google documents. This is truly insightful and also incredibly spontaneous, to say the least, considering I've been trying to get more curiel seeds in order to produce some more Thavnairian Onions.

Thanks for the insight!
