This is the process I used to achieve Snow White:

Feed #1 - Honey Yellow

• Cieldalaes Pineapple x3

Result = Honey Yellow

* It took 3 Pineapples before the "Grows New Feathers" message appeared.

Feed #2 - Cream Yellow

• Doman Plum x4

Result = Cream Yellow

* The feathers message either triggered at 3 or 4 Plums. I didn't write this "Feather" trigger down so unfortunately I don't exactly which but I'm 98.5% sure it was at 4.


Feed # 3 - Snow White

• Doman Plum x7
• Valfruit x10

Result = Snow White

* Fed 1 Doman Plum and got no "Feathers" message. Switched to feeding 10 Valfruit (each had the "Feathers" message) and then the remaining 6 Doman Plums (each plum triggered the "Feathers" message).


Total Fruits Used

3 Cieldalaes Pineapple, 11 Doman Plum, 10 Valefruit


*Note: Stable quality was "Poor" for all feedings.

So it was just a single message on your second feeding? So you actual result was:

x1 Cieldalaes Pineapple Message -> x1 Doman Plum Message -> x10 Valfruit Message -> x6 Doman Plum Message

First feed: O'Ghomoro Berry x1 - No change
Second feed: Doman Plum x1, Valfruitx2 (message of plumes changing color), Valfruitx1 (message of plume change again), Valfruitx1 (message of plume change again)
Result: Salmon Pink
Stable Condition: Good

Counting only the "Feathers Growing" messages I received yes you are correct. I do have to wonder in Feed #3 if I had started with Valfruit if I would have ended up with x7 Plum "Feather" messages for that round.

If you've been keeping an exact tally on the fruits used that got the growing feathers message, please send the information at this google docs form.
Trying to make sure this data is as clear as possible, since right now it's kind of a mess.

Feel free to just send chat logs of feeding time if you're confused by the instructions or you see something odd happen, like no longer receiving the feather message. This can help us find the caps of the fruit and such.

I'll be going back and trying to find posts that have stated that they're only counting the grow feathers message, but it could take some time. Thanks to anyone who can help! :)

eta: yayyyy! I can post again! These limits are for the birds!! :mad:
That being said, I'm testing to see how FEW fruit can be used to enact a color change. Feel free to help by posting your complete chat box set of messages from feeding the first fruit til you were done at that time. I'm looking for variables such as time of feeding, number of fruit fed, and messages. Thanks! :)

Fed 23 doman plum 10 pineapple 15 valfruit (from the original yellow)

Really love this set-up, Crankysorc. There's a link in my signature to a thread I set up for more structured experiments if you're interested in posting there to get more help.

I'm gonna guess the messages completely based on RNG at this point.

Someone should confirm her transformation into Snow White using her number of "growing new feathers" messages.

It's my thought that this message is triggered each time a player slides into a Dye colour. I think if you don't see a message it might not necessarily be that your colour isn't shifting but that you're not shifting enough to hit one of the SE Dye colours.

22x O'Ghomoro Berries (blue+) and 10x Xelphatol Apples (red+) = Regal Purple
