Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[ZReport]

My husband's chocobo:
He stops feeding when he first gets the new feather message.

Fed 3 berries, got the new feathers message. Result: UI Brown
Fed 3 berries, got the new feathers message. Result: Aldgoat Brown
Fed 1 berry, got the new feathers message. Result: waiting

Did he start from Desert Yellow? And is the only fruit he's been using is O'Ghomoro Berries?

I've been performing some basic tests. In all cases we fed the respective fruit until the "growing new feathers" message appears and then stopped.

The first set was Berries and Plums.

Berries:3, Plums:1 -> Ul Brown
Berries:4 -> Ul Brown

Pears and Pineapples
Pears:9, Pineapples:1 -> Cream Yellow
Pears: 10 -> Cream Yellow

Last was Apples and Valfruit
Apples:3 -> (awaiting results)
Apples:3, Valfruit:3 -> Millioncorn Yellow

Based on previous forum posts, and comparing to these results, unless a effect begins to happen at large numbers of messages, I'm beginning to lean towards your chocobo only changing based on the first fruit to give a message. If the final apple test results in millioncorn yellow which I expect it should, then it should pretty much confirm those results.

Next test, is a single fruit, 1 message vs.. say 5? to see how different the impact is.

Forgot to add, all tests were performed in the same stables at the same condition. The results are consistent across chocobo's with a large level gap, so I do not believe level plays a part.

Did you start your tests from Ul Brown or Desert Yellow?
