Chocobo Dye Experimentation

Beautiful chart. Love it!

I did notice a possible discrepancy, though. In the other spreadsheet (that's essentially useless now since we're all pretty damn sure it's based on feather procs and not total number of feeds), two combinations for Lavender Blue/Purple were reported: 15 berries total and 17 berries total. Your chart has 17 berry procs listed for the same color. Someone had to be false-reporting to one of the spreadsheets, though I can't be sure which.

I got it from this post. As of now, not sure if you need to do the colors in different feeding sessions or not, so a few of the colors are cumulative fruits. If it's shown that it doesn't work that way, I'll remove those ones.

I have a hunch that they both could technically be correct and it might take an extra fruit or two if you split up sessions.

That makes sense. That'll need some testing—to see if a color gets "locked-in" when it says the feathers are changing or when the six hours are up. Maybe starting from Desert Yellow and continually stopping at the first feather change won't give you the same results as seeing the same amount of feather changes in one feeding.
Though someone may beat me to it, once my berries are done growing tomorrow night, I can feed until I get 17 feather changing messages and see if I end up at Lavender Blue/Purple. =) I'm trying for Plum Purple and I was saying to myself that 17 would be a good number to try for that anyway. =P

Relevant to this conversation! Someone just posted that they got Lavender Purple with 13 feather changes (out of 15 total berries fed).

I'm so tempted to level a few alts just to test things like this and be able to record it exactly how I want.
I have plum purple and really want Colibri. Let me know if you overshoot it so I can try to figure out what kind of color it even counts as ;_;

Edit: Well jesus christ. Maybe there's a certain number of fruits you need to get the proc to progress to a new color. Seems a little odd that the berries would jump so quickly from lavender to royal blue if that's the case, however.


Also, at the post above, I feel like I've seen a few reports of people not getting the message anymore for anything besides apples once they get royal blue. Too sleepy right now to hunt for the posts u_u

I'll definitely be submitting anything I do to your spreadsheet. And I'll be sure to take screen caps of the feeding to eliminate any errors in my memory. =)
