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

Then you went back to your current color from a new color. Did you stop when you did not have a message as the last thing, and did the color still change? If I'm right, the color would not have changed in that case. If I'm wrong, it still would have.

I suppose it may have gone back to the old color if I was in a range where there were few dye colors to chose from. However, it happened while I was feeding only pears and apples. I didn't stop on a fruit with no message though.

I'm back at Hunter Green and I need to get to soot black... Anyone have any suggestions on what to feed next?

I suggest:

Apples x3
Berries x2

Again, start feeding berries or apples until you see a feather message. Count that towards the above. After that, continue to count ONLY fruits that yield the new feathers message towards the above recipe. Also, make sure the stable condition is Good.

I need someone to get the feathers changing message, then go "backwards," not get the message, and stop. I described in my post how you can go "backwards" with a single snack by altering the color balance, then restoring the color balance to what it was. Unfortunately, (if I'm right) this is very hard to trigger on purpose...

I would wait to see what you get- and then depending on that, maybe add some red if you feel it needs it, although keep in mind blue + red = purple.

Indeed, I fed my bird more berries and will wait to see what happens in a few hours. Eight berries this time with seven change procs.

Starting with the Desert Yellow

Fed pears until message: Lime Green
Fed pears until message: Apple Green
Fed 30+ pears with no message so waited the 6hrs
Fed O'berries until message: Cactuar Green
Fed O'berries until message: Turquoise Green

I just fed it apples so we will see what happens now but I'm going for Morbol Green eventually.

My journey to slate grey from the base color:

O'Ghomoro Berry x21, Xelphatol Apple x7, Mamook Pear x7 (as per this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...view?sle=true#) (DID NOT TURN SLATE GREY, ENDED UP PLUM PURPLE. Knowing what I know now this was pretty obviously going to happen)

Then 5x pears to get to ceruleum blue.

Then 1 plum, 1 valfruit, and 1 pineapple to slate grey.

Desert yellow -> plum purple -> ceruleum blue -> slate grey.

Ok, tried this.

5 of each.
Red- 5/5 message
Blue- 5/5 message
Green- 4/5 message
Rank 4- Stable is Good

Lets see how this looks in the morning!

Got Blood Red :v ...
Guessing I would need to beef up the green a bit and the blue a few bits for black. Hope my fruits are ready soon ... don't wanna use up all our stock.

Went back to regal purple. Apples with one feather change might do it?

If you get stuck in a loop, I would maybe try Pineapples to get blue values a little lower...they might be too high that you're jumping from Blood Red > Regal Purple.

When I got from Blood Red > Dalamud Red, my chocobo had zero addition of blue values (pure apple feed), and it took 3 total berries to get to Dalamud Red. As mentioned before, the steps I've seen from various posts can be: Blood Red > Dalamud Red > Rolanberry Red > Regal Purple > Royal Blue. (or backwards with apples starting from Royal Blue).

So yeah, if anything, I would focus on slightly lightening blue values. Keep red values high up there.

I am beginning to wonder if there are "poor, good, excellent and failure" triggers for each feathers proc...

I am sure its possible. I just found it odd that I was able to flip between the two colors multiple time using the same fruit. They are both on the opposite side of the scale to boot.
