Color Your Birdie

[Gaddes]

you can buy the fruits for 15 hunt seals btw

and there are more then 7-8 colors

See, it would make far too much sense if we could just buy the fruits outright with seals.... but since this is SE we're talking about, of course 15 seals only gets you the SEEDS... which good luck getting a patch of land to plant them on in an FC where everyone else wants to do the same thing, not to mention others are probably growing those mandragora pets as well.

once it becomes affordable enough, I would like a coral-red (or some other form of orangey-pink)

Hmm... as a friend pointed out to me, the default color for our chocobos aren't bright yellow but a softer/dimmer yellow. I'd say we might actually be starting at 255/255/153... if our theories that this model is accurate in game, of course.

The question is will it be white or black at 0/0/0. With how they're using the words "lighten/darken", it would seem likely that it would be subtractive and 0/0/0 would be white.

If I'm right and I want a midnight blue, the best strategy would be to alternate lightening R and G 'till white then darken B 'till I get the shade I want.

Ah-ha.. Good point. I mean lighten could just be increasing the scale and darken decreasing, so you'd use a combination of xelphatol apple, mamook pear to lower the R:G scale. and O'Ghomoro Berries to increase the Blue from 0 to your desired midnight esque, that is assuming my original statement that the base yellow is 255:255:153

I was thinking more r 255 g 255 b 102 was the starting point :s guess we will find out soon ... did they say 6 hours for it to take effect of the color??? does that mean you can only feed one hue per 6 hours??
I am afraid to ask how many plants per seed will be produced... :s ... its not fair to people with huge free companies trying to garden for all their members at all ...

Once fed, a chocobo's plumage will change in six hours (Earth time).
* The chocobo's plumage will change color depending on the fruit it was fed.
* After the chocobo's plumage changes color, feeding it a Han lemon will restore their plumage to their original yellow hue. Unlike other fruits, the chocobo's plumage will change immediately upon inspecting the chocobo stable a second time.
* No change will occur if chocobos are removed from the stable prematurely. It is recommended to feed them during times when the chocobo can be left stabled for extended periods, such as prior to logging out for the day.

So basically. Feed it a hue and keep it in there for 6hrs, then take a look and see. I hope they have some sort of warning for that so you don't accidentally take it out prematurely and reset the clock, or you know just remember . I'm going to plant the seeds with Shroud Soil and hopefully get a large number of fruits back. Hope they are quick to sprout and not some 5 day waiting period.. ><
