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

That's an exceptional question because it's doubtful that everyone is at the same inner RGB value. The closer you are in shades to a desired colour the more difficult it becomes to get that colour. The only suggestion to try to avoid a loop when you're close to your desired plumage colour is small controlled feeds of a single type of fruit. This way you're not mass adjusting multiple RGB levels.

If you hit Ink Blue again maybe try 2 pineapples and 1 valfruit to break the cycle; mileage may vary (don't hate me if I'm wrong).

Yeah, I just threw a bunch of stuff at it and went from Ink Blue -> Midnight Blue. Any suggestions at how to get back there? 2 Pineapples you think might be enough? I'm attempting to push myself back to Kobold to keep trying and see if it may really be RNG with attempts, or to figure out a way back to Deepwood Green from Kobold Brown, once I get back there to try the Valfruit strategy.

I ended up with Coeurl Yellow instead. XD

Geez I was hoping I was on the right track for Dalamud Red, too.

Coeurl Yellow has very saturated blue, so maybe I should try lightening? Or maybe I should stuff him with more apples...?

So far it's been:

Desert Yellow (Start)
6 apples, 9 pears, 3 berries -> Millicorn Yellow

1 apple -> Coeurl Yellow

Yey for results.

Originally I had the following for the apple-only line of feeds:

Desert Yellow > Millicorn Yellow > Pumpkin Orange > Sunset Orange > Blood Red.

That was my path up the apple line (new feather x1, stop).

But reviewing back the pages, I learned Mesa Red can occur in between Sunset Orange and Blood Red, which clearly I didnt get.

So what happened in your case has two possibilities:

1) You got simply got a color that I skipped over on my feeding, which is a common occurrence.
2) Your previous feeds might have shifted your color line a bit different then a pure Apple feed.

I would maybe just do exclusively apples for the next feed to see where it gets you.

Btw, again not 100% (lets say 95%)...Blood Red + Berry till 1 new feathers *should* = Dalamud Red

EDIT: My test chocobo that was Blood Red just turned Dalamud Red with one Berry / new feather feed.

I would feed it pineapples until it procs the feather message, I think when it procs it means you've lowered your blue back down to the next available color, and there aren't any blues in between ink blue and midnight blue. Should be a couple pineapples at most I'd think, maybeeee three if two doesn't work.

So, just a couple Pineapples or so? Nothing else? Ok! This is my current log so far... 1 sec...

Starting Color : Midnight Blue
Chocobo Level: 10
Stable Condition: Fair
Feed Used: x2 Cieldalaes Pineapple
New Feathers: 2/2 Pineapples
Result: ???

[9:02 p.m.]Juju devours the Cieldalaes pineapple.
[9:02 p.m.]Juju's plumage will change in 6 hours.
[9:02 p.m.]Juju is beginning to grow new feathers!
[10:12 p.m.]Juju devours the Cieldalaes pineapple.
[10:12 p.m.]Juju is beginning to grow new feathers!
[10:12 p.m.]Juju's plumage will change in 4 hours and 50 minutes.

My goal here is to back up to Kobold Brown once again. I was there a few times in the past. After coming from Deepwood Green originally. I used 1 Pineapple from Ink Blue before and hit Kobold Brown, so hopefully moves me back there via 2 Pineapples.

Been working on this for over 3days now... it isnt very pretty but...

[sr7olsniper]

Ravenguard I know you have been helping people out and I was wondering if you would do the same for me. I don't have a lot of monetary resources in game but I do have access to the FC's gardening lot and so I have 30 of each of the color feeds. I haven't even started on my chocobo so it is standard color atm. My desired color is Soot black so I was wondering what would you suggest I feed to get that color? I previous poster said he was able to get soot black from Loam brown (which I got from the google doc spreadsheet) and I was thinking of following his footsteps since he was the world first soot black I believe.

[Chiral]

Yeah, I'm thinking it picks the color that is closest, on average, to the red, green, and blue values your chocobo is set to. Personally my color transitions went start -> slate grey -> Russet Brown -> Wine Red -> Dalamud Red -> Chestnut Brown -> Kobold Brown -> Soot Black.

Yeah, that's what I think too.

[SinisterIsBack]

only 2 ppl ive seen on my server so far with black chocos

those are not black, that is the Ink Blue

[Torchic373]

I think I did indeed skip over a few colors. I searched through the thread and saw this post from Tinsley:

these numbers are only the ones that gave me the plumes are changing prompt

1st feeding : +6 darken green = cream yellow
2nd feeding : +2 darken green = Honey yellow
3rd feeding : 6 darken red, 2 darken blue = coeurl yellow
4th feeding : 8 darken red, 10 darken blue = blood red

i want dalamud red but not sure what to feed now..

It seems like the game does keep track of what you've feed previously. I had started with 6 apples, 9 pears, 3 berries.

She got Coeurl Yellow from 6 apples, 8 pears, 2 berries. In different feedings, but still. Interesting...

I just fed my choco 6 apples and 6 berries. Stopped when it finally gave me a proc. It's definitely different from her 8 apples, 10 berries. But I do have that extra pear and berry that's there somewhere. Hope I get similar results to her Blood Red.

After ending with with Currant Purple I decided to shoot for Rhotano Blue.

Currant Purple: Fed 6 Doman Plums, Procs on the last 5.
End result Rhotano Blue.
Stable Condition: Good
