After trying yet again to go towards soot black, i ended up in dalamud red.
Anyone got any advice to share towards getting Soot?

I was thinking maybe 10 apples and 3 mamook pears?
Help me out! ;_;

Pears and Berries, actually. You have way too much red, and apples will only make that problem worse. You probably want both in relatively equal numbers.

Do you know a specific number of what to feed?
113 R 23 B 23 G apparently is what i have on Dalamud red.

My theory is that the change each snack gives is random. The only way to do it is to try something that should push you in the right direction (in this case, Berries and Pears), and then see what happens. You never want to stop on a non- "New Feathers" message, because if you don't get the message, there won't be a change. I would do like 5x of each and, assuming you get the message, see where you are before proceeding. If you don't get the message, try more, or you may even want to throw in a Plum or two, but I'd wait on that until your red was lower.

Here's hoping..
