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

[Ashgarth]

After seeing this thread I fed my chocobo some more fruits.

I had given him 1 O'Ghomoro berry earlier today.

I just gave him another one and nothing appeared on screen so I used 2 more, after that it showed the message "It's Growing new feathers" and showed the time until the process completes. (1h 44m)

I assume that every time that the "New feathers" message appears it changes from one colour to another.

(I'll post the results as soon as the time passes.)

These results are frustratingly inconsistent. We might have to throw out the idea of a pure RGB scale and consider a more fluid conversion scheme. That Brown really throws a wrench in the monkey. There is no reasonable explanation for why three (3) Apples would make that change according to our current theory.

fed it one doman plum, nothing changed.

So it is for sure that you need more than one.

The problem is everyone is testing and throwing everything they want at it.. We're not really organized testing. i.e the person who fed the 36x of the 3 lightening foods only got honey yellow, someone would need to replicate that with less fruit to find the limit of fruits per 6hr.. One person got Millioncorn yellow from 2x Apples, does this mean a +4R -9.5G -18B per apple? or perhaps a % instead of solid values.. The testing varies, therefore results vary The brown probably came from the fact that it was 3 apples + 3 berries. and if each fruit gives a +/- to one color and a -/+ to another color the result was brown makes some sense.. I think xD?

Can we still train them while they are sitting in the stables for the 6 hours? Or will that ruin it?

So what do you do to get a black chocobo? Deepen all the colors or lighten them all?

[Leonesaurus]

I had my chocobo go through a transformation

Fruits used: x5 O'Ghomoro Berries / x5 Mammok Pears / x5 Xelphatol Apples

Desert Yellow --> Millioncorn Yellow

I've trained mine and the 6 hours count keeps going so i guess it's safe.

That's understandable, but the biggest issue is that Cork Brown [197, 139, 79]. Given that Desert Yellow is [216, 175, 80], that's a delta value of [-19, -36, -1] from a set of fruits that should have been [-r, =, -b]. Those values are completely skewed from their predicted adjustments.


Edit: oops, calculated the wrong way.

You fed the fruit in that order?
