This is the process I used to achieve Snow White:

Feed #1 - Honey Yellow

• Cieldalaes Pineapple x3

Result = Honey Yellow

* It took 3 Pineapples before the "Grows New Feathers" message appeared.


Feed #2 - Cream Yellow

• Doman Plum x4

Result = Cream Yellow

* The "Feathers" message either triggered at 3 or 4 Plums. I didn't write this "Feather" trigger down so unfortunately I don't know exactly which but I'm 98.5% sure it was at 4.


Feed # 3 - Snow White

• Doman Plum x7
• Valfruit x10

Result = Snow White

* Fed 1 Doman Plum and got no "Feathers" message. Switched to feeding 10 Valfruit (each had the "Feathers" message) and then the remaining 6 Doman Plums (each plum triggered the "Feathers" message).


Total Fruits Used

3 Cieldalaes Pineapple, 11 Doman Plum, 10 Valefruit


*Note: Stable quality was "Poor" for all feedings.

Thanks! I am so torn between white or black!

Aiming for Snow White.. Followed the advice of a previous poster and did:
15 Doman Plum
6 Cieldalaes Pineapple
12 Valfruit

I made sure to note the number of times I got the "new feathers" message on each step however.
11/15 Doman Plum
6/6 Cieldalaes Pineapple
12/12 Valfruit

I gave my Bo 1 of the plums until I had gone through 15 plums, then 6 pineapples one at a time, then 12 valfruit one at a time. I'll update in 5 hours 30 minutes as to what I get.. XD

Great explanation (and grats on that cute chocobo!). I hope everybody will follow your template, it's clear and comprehensive.

So it was just a single message on your second feeding? So you actual result was:

x1 Cieldalaes Pineapple Message -> x1 Doman Plum Message -> x10 Valfruit Message -> x6 Doman Plum Message

Counting only the "Feathers Growing" messages I received yes you are correct. I do have to wonder in Feed #3 if I had started with Valfruit if I would have ended up with x7 Plum "Feather" messages for that round.

I'm gonna guess the messages completely based on RNG at this point.

Someone should confirm her transformation into Snow White using her number of "growing new feathers" messages.

It's my thought that this message is triggered each time a player slides into a Dye colour. I think if you don't see a message it might not necessarily be that your colour isn't shifting but that you're not shifting enough to hit one of the SE Dye colours.

I had this same thought yesterday, but there are many people who are posting no color change initially without a message. This might be one of two things --

1.) Desert Yellow is in it's own Dye color range, and it will not change unless you get a message. (Your theory.)

or

2.) New feathers message starts to slide the chocobo up and down the color slider, depending on what you feed it.

There have been a couple of post already pointing to 2.), people getting angry that they fed X number of berries and saw no color change, perhaps because they didn't get a new feathers message.

On my Feed #1 I started with only 1 pineapple and didn't get a message, right close to my 6 hour timer I was reading about the message on the forums, fed 2 more, got the message and bingo bango colour change.

It is quite likely that others could be overfeeding or the amounts of different food colours they are using are cancelling out one another.
