[Tyrano]

Was obv on my way to get soot black but stumbled upon Currant purple. Thought it looked sick so I might stick with this for a bit.

My path of progression is as follows, with the number of feather messages given per fruit fed:

Desert Yellow->Millioncorn Yellow (1/1 Xelphatol Apple)
Millioncorn Yellow->Pumpkin Orange (0/9 Xelphatol Apples, 1/1 O'Ghomoro Berry)
Pumpkin Orange->Sunset Orange (0/10 Xelphatol Apples, 1/1 O'Ghomoro Berry)
Sunset Orange-> ??? (0/10 Xelphatol Apples, 1/2 O'Ghomoro Berries)

I'm expecting Blood Red, given the previous results others have posted. I'm undecided between Dalamud, Rolanberry, and Wine Red currently as to what I want.

Got my Dalamud Red an hour ago Many times messing up while reading this forum. But the total count was 43 Apples, 10 pears, 15 Berries, and 5 Valfruit. (Dont remember the order in which I did it. many mistakes were made :P)

Alright, here's where it gets very tricky and will possible require some tweaking.

Current: Grape Purple
52R 26G 34B

Desired: Soot Black
37R 35G 30B

I would personally try:

x2 Mamook Pear
x1 O'Ghomoro Berry

Going off an average that the fruits will give +/-5 (which all I've used in all my past posts for ease of calculations) you should end up around 37R 31G 29B, give or take a few points.
If you don't receive "plumage color change" message, then we need to analyze were you might be in the dyes "color range".

Good luck!

fed two pears, got the plumage change message after the first, and one berry which gave me the growing new feathers message. we will see how this ends up in six hours when i get up for work.

Currant purple in the daytime!

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.

Having the FC garden will help you greatly to save a bit of Gil while you tweak your Chocobo's plumage. I would recommend you buy one of every seed type (all six) and fertilize them with some Grade3 Shroud soil (if you have a miner) for some high yield to play around with.

I assume you haven't fed anything to your Chocobo to change his initial plumage from Desert Yellow. That would start with Very High REDs, High GREENs, and low BLUEs.

So to start, you're going to want to drastically lower those GREENs and REDs using BLUE DEEPEN'ers (O'Ghomoro Berry). This will have the adverse effect of raising your BLUEs, however getting all three colors around the same value will make the voyage to Soot Black a little easier. If you add in a few apples and pears into the mix, it should slow down your BLUEs from getting too high in the process.

I would try this for my initial feeding:

x12 O'Ghomoro Berry
x6 Mamook Pear
x6 Xelphatol Apple

At the very least, this will put you much closer to your goal, then we can decide what to feed him to direct this new color toward your desired color of Soot Black.

Husband gave his chocobo 15 doman plums and got 1 feather message from default and all in one sitting. It came out ice blue. I gave him another doman plum that he then fed and received another feather message. Waiting to see what color pops out.

54 berries, 49 apples and pears got me Midnight Blue

[sr7olsniper]

Yes I currently have one of each seen in the garden all with Grade 3 Shroud soil. They will soon be harvestable and that's when I want to go. For initial feeading do you mean all those 3 at once? or like feed berrys first, wait a bit then mamook, or do you do 1 by one? Sorry havnt even touched the feeding of fear of screwing it up
