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

[Ravenguard]

Alright so before I start wasting more fruit, would anyone be able to help me get my chocobo from coral pink to grape purple? If anyone is interested in how i attained coral pink, it was 2 sessions. 1st session= 5 Valfruit. 2nd session= 5 O'ghomoro berries and 5 Xelphotol apples.

Let's see.

Coral Pink
200R 101G 87B

Grape Purple
52R 36G 54B

You're going to want the GREENs and BLUEs to stay roughly similar right off the bat (for the eventual drop in all colors), so you're going to want to decrease your REDs first and foremost.

Try this initially:

x10 O'ghomoro Berry
x10 Mamook Pear

What this should so is cause a HUGE drop of the RED's if your Chocobo's plumage, while stopping his GREENs and BLUEs from increasing or decreasing.

*Goobue grey became Lavender purple.
*Lavender purple became plum purple. Feeding pear to test color reversal theory. Results pending.
*Blood red to Dalamund red on one berry confirmation. This makes two incidents I have witnessed one berry message resulting in dalamund red. possibly a confirmed method to obtain Dalamund red. she is now trying for Rolanberry red with one more Berry confirmation. Results pending. (We're running low on berries. Surprise, lol)
*FC leader turned out gobbiebag brown. Adding pear and valfruit in an attempt to pull out the greens and darken the other hues. Results pending.
*Millicorn Yellow birds have not been fed.

This time I started with Corpse Blue and gave berries til I got one feather message which was 4 more berries and the result was Lavender Purple. After seeing how that looked with my Amon set I decided to stay here for now. I may eventually push for a darker blue again but pretty happy with this.

So, from charcoal gray I am trying to get soot black. Last night I fed my chocobo 1 Mamook Pear (got the message), 1 Xelphatol Apple (got the message), and 2 O'Ghomoro Berries (no message for either). I ran out of O'Ghomoro Berries. This morning, there was no change. So I fed him 2 O'Ghomoro Berries (got the message), 1 Mamook Pear (got the message), and 2 Xelphatol Apples (got the message). He turned Nophica Green... I then fed him 1 apple (got message) and one berry (got message). Now he turned Shadow Blue!



I think I might just keep this color.

This confuses the crap out of me...lol

From Rolanberry to Abyssal was 10 berries and 4 pear, only the last 3 of each gave the feather message. So, I'll assume it's 3 berry and 3 pear that actually took
Finally out of the red loop, and think I'm closer to the Currant purple I want.



This color is kind of cool though

just fed 3 apple and 1 pear only the last apple gave message and the pear gave message. See what happens in 6 hours.

Ok, bear with me on this one, but I might have an idea. Lets lay the groundwork out on this one:

Shadow Blue
49R 49G 64B

Soot Black
37R 35G 30B

Now this is where a bit of speculation comes in: I believe that each fruit will increase or decrease a value by a range of +/-3 to +/-6. To try to round out the RNG, I am going to use an average of +/-5 for each fruit. Going on that assumption, here is what I recommend (and please don't hate me if this isn't 100%):

x2 Cieldalaes Pineapple
x4 Xelphatol Apple
x4 O'ghomoro Berry
x4 Mamook Pear

What the pineapple will do is attempt to lower your BLUE values below that of your GREEN and RED. After that, by feeding him an equal amount of Apples, Berries, and Pears, you will lower all three color values evenly, and hopefully drop them into the range of Soot Black.

As I stated above, I believe there is a slight RNG in how many points will be added or subtracted to each value when feeding any fruit, although theoretically this should place you around your desired plumage color.

Issue here is, you don't know the current values of the chocobo. The shadows could only be rounded off to give Shadow Blue right now so it would all have to be a rough guesstimate right now. Still trying to figure mine out :/

You're right, I don't know the current values, which is why it gets harder to do minor changes in color variance when people are so close to their desired color.
I mainly go off the assumption that to reach certain colors you need to fall in a "color range" (I.e. 30-40R, 30-40G, 25-35B for Soot Black), and then (as you read above) I reduce what I believe are some RNG by offering a flat integer as an "average".

I try to preface every post saying that I am not 100% and this is only my assumptions based on correlating everyone's past data, as well as trials of my own.
