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

Do I feed all of them at once? Or do I stop when I see the first "feather" message? Is there any difference if I get 1,3, 5 or 10 feather messages?

Thank you all for your help in advance.

You feed them all at once, and continue to feed the amount even if you trigger the "growing new feathers" message.

What is happening behind the scenes is you are shifting your Chocobo's hidden RGB values around (even if you don't see the indication of new feathers). Each dye appears to have a range for each color (I.e. 25-35Red, 100-120Green, 150-160Blue for color "X") and if all three numbers are inside these values you will active that plumage color on your next change. When you see "growing new feathers" message, you have effectively pushed yourself from your current color range into a new one.

*Example*
Color "X" Range = 25-35Red, 100-120Green, 150-160Blue
Color "Y" Range = 25-35Red, 100-120Green, 160-170Blue

Sorry if I sound stupid, but from what you are saying, only when the message appears, you are triggered into a new range. So this means that EVERY feed is definite to change the numbers in the RGB spectrum, the only rng is the amount it changes by. ANd the reason why people take different amount of fruits to get the feather message is because of the rng in the amount of change in each feed. Am I interpreting this correctly?

Yes. You're interpreting this correctly.

Thanks! I'll update my results here periodically.

I'm hoping this is how it works. I'm trying for black and I'm in this Ink Blue > Kobold Brown > Deepwood Green loop. I'm hoping that if I just continue on this loop, eventually the RNG will skew the numbers just enough to get me in to Soot Black. My fear was that my numbers were stuck at a point where it was impossible to get Black without fully restarting but I'm gonna continue on this loop for a while before restarting.

If you end up hitting Ink Blue again try x2 Pineapples and x1 Valfruit.

Cool, will give that a shot and keep the thread updated. Current session ends at 3am PST, if that goes Ink again, I'll go 2x pineapples 1x Valfruit and update you at 9am PST.

If the 1x valfruit at the end does not proc... go with a second one until proc? Would that be too much change?

Also, if I end up back at Kobold Brown again... would you then recommend.... 2x Plums and 1x Pineapple?

will this result in soot black?

I just did this and went back to Kobold Brown.
