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

So in terms of math, how are we treating this?

Deepeners do +5 to primary and -5 to secondary? Berries +5 blue -5 red/grn?

Lighteners do what, the opposite? Pineapples do -5 blue and +5 red/grn?

Is that the correct math thinking on this?

I go with 4.5 though since its in the middle between 3 -6

Can someone please help me figure out how to go from Royal Blue to Grape?

So, going for peacock blue. I accidentally fed the pears first, 10 of them, then fed the berries, 21 of them. After the first two berries I got the message about the plumage. Wondering if that will negate the first ten pears, or if I will end up with something besides the peacock blue color I am going for. Wondering if I should feed it ten more pears again. Going to wait as I won't see results until 8pm ish this evening.

From Abyssal to Ink/Midnight or Black, any help ?

Next feed is: 8 pears + 1 Apple = result in 6h

My chocobo

1st feed: 30 X O'Ghomoro Berry + 10 x Mamook Pear
2nd feed: 10 x Xelphatol Apple = Storm BLue

I am going toward Black or Midnight/Ink blue. I would love some tips on how to achieve that color from StormBlue.

Thanks!

Storm blue + 4 APples = Royal BLue

Royal Blue + 13 Apples [B]

Abysal RGB 43 39 80
Midnight RGB 20 21 49

Try 3 apple, 3 pears, 5 berries.

You need to deepen all of them, blue slightly more so.

Well, i will have another color soon so, i will come back and tell you what ive gained.

Before you answered i gave him: 8 pears + 1 Apple = result in 1h

Confirmation on this?

Ok, so I got somewhat of mixed results. I have to come outright and say that, at 4-5 o'clock in the morning, I added 1 extra valfruit by mistake. So, what I posted is what I should have done. But because I didn't feel like resetting the 6 hour cooldown of doom, I decided to math my way back to the right numbers, slightly. I ended up with Wine Red, which is fine, because from there it's one step away from Kobold Brown anyway.

I ended up improvising and going with x2 Pineapples / 2 Valfruits // 1 Plum <---- Only counting fruits with messages popping. What I SHOULD have done was reset my timer and started over with what I originally posted. I had to re-check my math 2-3 times just to be sure (plus because I was super-exhausted then). So, in the end, I think adding the extra valfruit removed a layer, and that's how I went over Kobold Brown and landed on Wine Red (again), which is next up in line.

Trying to get back to Kobold Brown currently. I'll update if anything interesting happens. Sorry for the delay in replying! D:

I would also like to know if anyone at Kobold Brown has ever just tried adding a single O'Ghomoro Berry to see if they could reach Soot Black? I almost tried this to test it in the past, but decided to go with the Plum that people reported to work at the time.

I would wait /nod. But I'm more of the cautious/patient type to be honest.

I sorta wish this was more of an exact science XD.

I dunno, I think it's fun to watch the community collaboratively researching this.

Especially after all the squabbling about the hunts.

Can someone please help me figure out how to go from Royal Blue to Grape?

Going from blue to purple means you'll want to add red. Can't tell you exact amounts tho. :3

I dunno if anyone's posted one of these here yet, but I've found it helpful. :3

Finally got my chocobo to Abyssal blue from Blood red, just by feeding 21 berries and 1 pear (all proc message), which is closer to my objective of ink blue.

So currently, I'm on RGB 43 39 80.

Should I add 3/4 apples, 3 pears and 7/8 berries? Or is there some way I'm not considering?

currently attempting your original plan. will post back around 5pm Central time with results

edit: i did give a kobold brown choco a single O'ghomoro berry in one of my initial experiments to get out of the loop and still got ink blue
