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

I've started to try getting from Snow White to Soot Black. I've been using 1 type of fruit until the "feathers" message pops up once, and then waiting. So far:

Snow White + 1 pear (message) = Sylph Green
Sylph Green + 1 berry (message) = Celeste Green
Celeste Green + 1 apple (message) = ?

Huh, surprise!
Celeste Green + 1 apple (message) = Sylph Green
Okay:
Sylph Green + 1 apple (message) = ?

It took NINE apples to get the message! Eeww.

Hello everyone! Just been reading this thread non-stop trying to find out all there is to know about this expensive new feature before diving into it and breaking my bank!

So here's wut I did (e-mailed it to myself after doing it).
Val- fed 11/ 9 changes
O-Berry- fed 5/ 5 changes
Apple- fed 5/ 5 changes
(Rank 4- Stable was Good)

Was hoping to get something other then Yellow or green and was aiming for black or purple ... but afterwards I looked back at this and saw that what I did was very much close to wut people did for pink colors like Coral Pink ... and I came back a hour ago to find this.

Any color gurus here know the best route towards taking Carol Pink and turning it into either Snow White/ Ice Blue/ Iris purple or Celeste Green?

ok so if void blue is 14 35 61 -- then I feed him a cpl berries and like 2 pears? destination soot black

Current Colour: Void Blue
14R 35G 61B

Destination Colour: Soot Black
37R 35G 30B

You would want to give him a pear but not the berries. Maybe try the following to see if it slides you into Soot Black range:

x3 Apples
x2 Pineapple
x1 Pear


This should put your end values roughly around 34R, 35G, 31B (assuming +/- 5 average integer) which is almost at Soot Black (might still need a bit more tweaking); RNG is still a factor depending on where you're at in the Void Blue values so mileage may vary.

P.S: Don't hate me if it doesn't get you Soot Black

If you are at coral pink it means you are close to the max value of red in the RGB, you'll need to increase by feeding doman plum to completely remove the redness, if fed 11 but now I realized it might have been overkill since rose pink is already so close to white, since yours is coral I'd say feed at least 6 successfully, just in case, this should bring you to ice blue or a color close to it, if it's the later then feed successfully one pineapple at a time until you reach ice blue, it might take a lot of time since it's every six hours tho.

The alternative would be to completely remove the blueness by feeding 6 pineapples, which would bring you to Snow White and then feed one berry (successfully of course), that's how I went back from white to ice since I liked ice better than white.

For the rest I can't tell :/

maybe im not understanding the way it works, Wouldn't giving him berries lower the blue (towards 0) while raising red/grn then give some green to get that back lower while raising red again?

Either way its done as I gave him 4 berry messages and 2 pear messages before I seen this post. Will let you know results in 4 hours

I've been trying to get to Iris Purple using the point system people post but I'm having trouble understanding. ^_^ So this is my process so far, maybe someone could help me!

Desert Yellow -> Fed 7 apples, 8 berries. (I'm not sure how many procs of new feathers)

1st Color: Coral Pink -> Fed 7 berries. One Proc.
RED 0--------------------|-----255 [200]
GREEN 0----------|---------------255 [101]
BLUE 0--------|-----------------255 [087]

2nd Color: Plum Purple -> Used 2 Pineapple. One Proc. (lighten blue, increased yellow)
RED 0----------|---------------255 [114]
GREEN 0------|-------------------255 [075]
BLUE 0---------|----------------255 [101]

3rd Color -> Coral Pink
RED 0--------------------|-----255 [200]
GREEN 0----------|---------------255 [101]
BLUE 0--------|-----------------255 [087]

How did my red jump 86 points with two pineapple? :/ Where do I even go from here?

You're confusing the effects of the berries and pineapple, pineapple lightens the blue, berries darken the blue, that's why feeding berry would only bring you further from soot black

No, berries "Deepen" (as in strengthen/raise) BLUE and decrease RED/GREEN.

+3 Plum feather procs and +4 Pineapple feather procs.
I'd do it in that order if possible, too.
That would yield -3 feather procs to your Reds and -4 to your Blues.
You might need to feed it a few Plums until the first feather message comes up. I've been running into this issue, as well as others (See above).

Thank you for the tip. I was just thinking in the wrong direction. I ended up with chocolate brown so it was progress away from the loop I was stuck in so thank you very much. Now just need to get the steps down to Sunset.
