Was trying to go back to Sylph Green so I can try to get Snow White and it looks like it worked. Fed it more Doman plums, hoping to get that Snow White.

[AttacKat]

My husband got Snow White on his first try (starting from default Desert Yellow) using 6 plums with one feather growth message.

LMAO, that just disproved one of my "ideas". DY -> SW has RGB delta of 0, -40, -128

Starting to Grow New Feathers

Hey, thought i'd share my data so far. I got some people from my fc to be crazy with me, so we each took a fruit to start and only fed that fruit to see where we got. We've done other things since then, but its all documented. The stars appear with the first new feathers message that was run into, and everyone stopped once they ran into one. Well, hope it can help. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing (Also, we started doing just 1 fruit every 6 hours, until it became apparent that the feathers message was important. after that, every feeding session was back to back until the new feathers message was found. the sorting into different rows in the spreadsheet was just to make it easier to read.)

Working on Soot Black Experiment

Desert Yellow --> Plum Purple
1st session : 22 Berries

Plum Purple -->Chocolate Brown
2nd session : 8 Apples then 7 Pears



So i got chocolate brown not sure what to do next to try and fix it to get soot black or close too it.

[Niqote]

This was a Colour chart I was working on. But since I only have my own data (FC members sacrificed their Chocobo's to me) I am not going to continue it for now.

I think everything on here is known data except the Coeurl yellow, so I'll submit that to the spreadsheet ^_^



Oh and the Plums on Snow White has a missed step because the tester accidentally got 2 feather messages instead of one. but it looks like you can get the Snow white even with 1 plum message there.

<< Posted 6 hours ago about my Deepwood Green Chocobo.

Step by Step from one colour to another by single feather message
(links to others attempting this in this thread)

Experiment Path 1

When the colours first launched and before all this information was really here I fed an unknown amount of fruit and achieved Bone White.

This wasn't a colour I liked so recorded the next set

10 pears with NO feathers message (0/10)
5 O'Goh with 5 new feather messages (5/5)

Led to Ice Blue


Stage 1 Ice Blue > Iris Purple

Now I am going to push on with only feeding one fruit and stopping at the first proc message to see where I end up.

Using Valfruit I have fed 6 Valfruit total with the new feathers message on the last (1/6)

Has resulted in Iris Purple.

Stage 2 Iris Purple >>> Colibri Pink

[14:51]Apollo devours the valfruit.
[14:51]Apollo's plumage will change in 6 hours.
[14:51]Apollo is beginning to grow new feathers!

1/1 Valfruit feed leading to feather message resulted in Colibri Pink

Stage 3 Colibri Pink >>> Ice Blue

[6:25]Apollo devours the Doman plum.
[6:25]Apollo's plumage will change in 6 hours.
[6:25]Apollo is beginning to grow new feathers!

I am assuming a loop back to Sky Blue but who knows! If it does I will then try and break my loop and see where it takes me.

Showing more than one fruit will have the opposite effect

Stage 7 Ice Blue >>> Colibri Pink

This should result in Iris Purple again from there I want to push forward and break my loop with Valfruits

Interestingly I seem to have skipped Iris Purple this time and jumped straight to Colibri Pink again

Oh my goodness.. w t f.

Just started my 8th stage. I decided on Berries again. Fed my Rolanberry Red bird ONE Berries and got the new feathers message. That's after 17 Berries to proc a new feathers the stage before. Elusive HQ proc maybe?

I have a bad feeling it's going to be a purple >.>

I'll find out in the morning.
