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

[HEC-]

Fed my chocobo 36x of all 3 "Lightening" feeds so gonna see how it turns out in a while, about 3-4 hours.

I'm sorry to say so but you've just wasted 35 out of those 36 fruits. Only first one will apply the colour change, next could be used (and registered) after 6 hours. But indeed I applause to your courage!

Also - you can see my today's harvesting results of chocobo colouring food at The Big Gardening thread

Okay so Desert Yellow (default chocobo colour) appears to be 255 R 255 G 50ish B. You cannot deepen R or G any further and you can only lighten them. I tried feeding fruit in bulk to the chocobo and got results for everything but deepening those two values. It now tells me my chocobo is beginning to grow new feathers. So, within 6 hours, you can bulk feed a colour combination you desire I believe.

Now the question is if those are stacking or overwriting each other (e.g. only the last one fed will affect the actual colour change)? While we all hope for former I'm still affraid it's the latter ... At least with the current yield and fast grow it's fairly inexpensive to test it.

Also, why do people keep saying that prices on these should drop or whatever, aren't both the seeds and the fruits untradeable? (Going by XIVDB).

XIVDB is wrong (as in many other times) - I'm still amazed how people rely on unofficial sources / DBs while we have perfectly valid official DB at Lodestone ... (while other unofficial DBs might have more advanced search / comparefunctions they are often outdated / incorrect).
