My Chocobo coloring

Hi everyone, I would like to request some help on Chocobo coloring. I would like to get my Chocobo to a deep red color (Dalamud red). The fruit is so expensive on the MB and I don't want to waste gil by buying the wrong fruits. And feeding, do I feed one at a time or all at once? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I will refer you to this thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...o-Color-Dyeing and all the links/images/information that it can lead you to.

My boyfriend and I both used this site. Mine went perfectly from Rose Pink to Snow White, but he had a little bit of trouble going from one of the dark blues to black (we think he may have messed up a fruit somewhere). Just make sure you follow the instructions, and you should have a fine time.
We alternated the fruits we fed them like the instructions state. I think it was 3 of each at a time, but all of the fruits in one feeding. The reason for this is that if you feed them 21 apples at once, you might hit a wall halfway through and the rest won't do anything until you use another color on the chocobo.

You can also grow your own fruits if you have access to an FC garden and enough seals.

Feed all of the following in one feeding to change to your desired colour:
16 × Pears, 21 × Apples, 25 × Berries


Alternate fruits as you feed :)

I have an FC, I just don't have any allied seals and am only level 33. By my understanding I need to be level 50 to get allied seals from hunts. Right? But I am talking with my FC and will see if some one will grow them for me.

I don't know what to think of that site. For the color change I made it suggested a total of 34 fruit. I opted for a completely different approach and 14 fruit later I had the color I was after.

For example, to reach Dalamud Red that site recommends several fruit including 16 pears. But in reality you don't need to feed it a single pear to reach Dalamud Red.

There are multiple paths to each color and the some paths are more optimal than others. I believe the site calculates fruit based on the exact RGB values of the color (or a best guess since we don't actually know in game values) but you really only have to get closer to your desired color than you are to any other. (There are over 16 million possible RGB values, but only 85 possible colors - the target areas are fairly broad). Pears to reach Dalmud Red because all 3 RGB values need to be lowered - it makes sense and is probably easy to calculate, but it may not be the most efficient route.

Nope, as long as you're in a party that gets credit, and you hit the monster to get on the hate list, you'll get credit too. If you've got some friends willing to make a small group and drag you along, you can start getting allied seals right now.

Don't you need to have the hunt from the Hunt Board? It won't allow someone to register for a hunt on the board until they're level 50. They can browse it before then, but selecting one of the targets gives an eligibility error the last time I checked.

Don't get me wrong, if there's a way I'd love to do it and know about it. Some of the easier targets can definitely be taken down by characters under level 50.. I find it pretty annoying that I can't start hunts until then.

So I got in a hunt party with my FC and we killed Hellsclaw A Rank and I tossed two shield lobs and hit. I got 5 allied seals. So now I just have to do that a couple of times and then try to buy seeds. I will let you all know if I can once I have atleast 15 allied seals.

I had the same experience. I managed to get Snow White with out the 13 × Valfruit that site says to use. Valfruit is stupid expensive on my server so I saved 100k by not using it.
