Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Fufuless]

I have only been using apples so far. Nothing else. It has gone as such (if anyone else is doing apples only and sharing progress every time the feathers change message appears...):

First bunch of apples before I tried started to experiment more precisely: Pumpkin Orange.
Second bunch of apples until I got feathers changing ONCE then waited six hours: Sunset Orange.
Gave him a bunch of more apples until I got feathers changing ONCE, and am waiting for further results. I'm hoping the trend continues to strengthen red and it will be one of the -red- reds, Blood Red etc. Will post.

Others who only use apples could try and see if they also get the same results from Pumpkin -> Sunset with one feathers changing.

You wouldn't happen to remember how many messages you got for the Pumpkin Orange would you? Regardless, it's good to note that it should be possible to go from Pumpkin to Sunset Orange with one message from apple feeding.

I fed him 21 apples, and I think I started getting a feathers message starting at the fourth or third apple. After that I got it every apple. I'm fairly certain that the message will be spammed as long as the chocobo is growing new feathers though, so there's no way for me to tell how many actual color changes occurred from default.

I have a friend who did what you did and got sunset orange, he did it in one sitting.

Not a test by any means, but wanted to record some findings I'm working through with some FC mates of mine!

Fliegar, Exodus Server
Attempting: Iris Purple
Chocobo Rank: 5
1st 6hr // Stable : Good
Fed 8 O'ghoromo Berries
- 4 berries in, "...growing new feathers!"
- 4 berries in, "...growing new feathers!"
Result: Gobbiebag Brown

2nd 6hr // Stable : Good
Fed 7 O'ghoromo Berries
Fed 4 Valfruit
- 4 berries in, "...growing new feathers!"
- 2 berries in, "...growing new feathers!"
- 4 fruits in, "...growing new feathers!"
Result: Plum Purple

3rd 6hr // Stable : Good
Fed 6 O'Ghoromo Berries
Fed 2 Valfruit
No message recieved on either application of snacks.
Result: ....

Waiting on result to see if we can achieve Iris Purple shade, without waiting on a message from in game.

Another FC mate of mine achieved the color he wanted using the previous suggestion from our previous listing of colors. But going to post it here for data gathering sake anyway!

Zelkeva, Exodus
Attempting: Rose Pink
Chocobo Rank: 10

1st 6hr // Stables: Good
6xValfruit
1xO'Ghomoro Berries
1xXelphatol Apple

Message Status: Got the message multiple times, exact moments of "when" were not remembered. But he did receive the message multiple times during the course of his feeding! ( [Edit #1] )
Result: Rose Pink

So, the previous list of combinations does sometime work if the RNG is feeling generous! Don't give up hope if you're using the previous thread as well! Going to gather more information!
