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

[Syrehn]

Fed x3 Cieldalaes Pineapples (lightens the blue hues) and the result was Honey Yellow.

[JakzChurchill]

Feed 5 berries and 5 pineapples, colour no change ._.

Cause berries Deepen blue while Pinapple Lighten blue, you'v just cancelled them out.

[Alleviator]

O'Ghomoro Berry x12 with nothing else gave me Goobbue Grey.

[PickledthePirate]

Sylph Green: O'Ghomoro Berries x1 Doman Plum x 10
Sky Blue:
Darken blue 13
Mamook Pears 10
Lighten green 1 (so 9 darkens....dont ask)
Lighten red 5

20 O'ghomoro Berries in one sitting got me Othard Blue. I'm going for white though :S

My entry is incorrect, it was 21, not 20. Whats intereting is that another player in here reported 21 berries and got raptor blue.

Fed my bird 5 Doman Plums, the lowest number of plums you can feed before you get the message that the bird is growing new feathers. Going to reset his value and try a different fruit to see what happens when I get the results of this one.

OK then!

There's proof of my premise that only one food is affecting your bird!
Both were fed using deepen red AND blue .... obviously one is red, and the other blue.

It also proves that there's a cap on how many feedings will actually affect the color, aside from the fella that fed 36 "lighten" fruits of every variation to his bird, and ended up the same color as my 10x Lighten blue.....

Except that the ratio of food used isn't the same. They would need to do 3 red first, 7 blue second then second person do 7 blue first, 3 red second for instance. Equal but opposite.
If you mix 7 drops of red and 13 drops of blue paint, its going to be different than if you mix 30 drops of blue and 10 of red paint.

It's not paint, it's light to start with ... light where red and green makes yellow. Otherwise they'd give us different base colors to play with ... Yellow being a primary color in paint, instead of a blended color in light.


I'm also starting to get the feeling that there's more than a little of the crappiest RNG on the planet involved here....


There's also the possibility that there are "tiers", but given the example of 36x lighten everything to 10x lighten blue arriving at "Honey Yellow, and also now the confirmed result of just 1x "new feathers" with "lighten blue" ALSO arriving at Honey yellow ...... I think it safe to say that it's more likely RNG involved here, on TOP of a single effective food.

[Jayne422]

In light of the fact that there may be some RNG involved and we're not sure how exactly the fruits work, I'm altering my plan and I'm going to use 5 apples (or however many it takes to get the message about growing new feathers) after I get my results from the plums to see if I can take my bird back to the base yellow color. Once that experiment is done, I'll use the lemon to reset my bird's color and try the same process with a different fruit.

If there's anyone who would like to try and help me with this, please let me know, and we can coordinate our efforts.
