Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Rorichan]

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.

This is so helpful in visualising what steps to take for the colors! Thank you! I'm going to try and replicate the steps to get Rolanberry Red once my plants come up.

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

Feed results came in and now he\\'s Void Blue.... :/
This is a bummmer man. i cant discribe how much i personally Distaste the color blue

Anyways. ive fed it a single pineapple. will report results.

What did you feed it from deepwood green to get void blue? Ive been trying for days to get that color? Was it a mamook pear until the color changed once as per your previous post?

Hm interesting.
I got too friends that got cork brown and then fed their birds berries. The first person fed it only once for 1 feather msg, while the other person fed it for 3 feather msg. Yet both got the same result, which is coral pink. It seems the number of feather msg doesn't matter, and only the first proc counts...

If I'm right in how this works, you went from ~25/36/28 to ~14/35/61 because the Valfruit hit only the blue color, raising it a fair bit. You probably went from something like 20/35/30 to 20/35/60. You need to lower the blue again, but you also need to raise that red. The pineapple, if you're lucky, will hit primarily the red color, giving you something like 50/35/60. If it hits green, or both, you could wind up with 50/65/60 or 20/65/60 or anything inbetween. You could wind up with: Shadow Blue (++red +green), Woad Blue (+red, +green), Morbol Green (just +green), or Grape Purple (just +red). Other colors are possible too, I guess, but I don't know how much a single fruit can raise/lower colors.

EDIT: The problem, as I said elsewhere, is that Soot Black is only the fourth-darkest color in the game. It's just the most balanced dark color. There's a red (Kobold Brown), green (Deepwood Green), and blue (Ink Blue) darker than it. Going from one of them to black is risky and random.

I can Confirm the Blood Red to Regal Purple loop. Just happened to me for the second time this morning as i am now back to purple

I would maybe try adding a few pineapples to reduce blue values.

I recently just got my experimental bird from Blood Red > Dalamud Red, but I had started the process with only Apples, and then 3 berries with 1 new feather message got me to Dalamud.

And from other information I've seen, there is another red color (Rolanberry Red) between Dalamud Red and Regal Purple that you can get if you were to use berries on Dalamud Red, or apples on Regal Purple.

Hey guys, been monitoring these threads for awhile, but I think I've reached the point where I need some advice, especially when regarding the value system. Like many others I'm trying to achieve Soot Black, here's all of my data since the start.
I'm gonna post it in three parts due to post limits.

Original- No Fruit

Desert Yellow

7 apple

Millioncorn Yellow

20 berry
10 pear
15 apple

Dalamud Red

(I start to take notice of feather alert here)

10 berry
7 pear
10 apple
Feathers grow alert (from here on out, the order/number of fruit is matched to what was fed, all previously listed above was not fed in the order listed but randomly)
6 berry
4 pear
1 apple

Wine Red

(I start to take note of stable)

Stable: Fair

5 apple
1 berry
5 pears
6 berry
Feather grow alert
5 pear
5 berry
1 pear
10 berry
1 pear
8 berry

Midnight Blue

cont.

[Stitchpunk]

Stable: Fair

2 pear
Feather grow alert
8 pear
3 apple

<no color> No change? Possible glitch? Possibly arrived a tad bit early but no movie occurred and there was no timer. Chocobo wasn't on display either as another fc member stored it's own so it switched out of the preview. My last fruit also may have given no feather change notice and I had just forgotten, but I don't believe that to be the case.

Stable: Fair

5 apple
2 pears
Feather alert
11 pears
2 apple
1 pear
1 apple

Deepwood Green

[Stitchpunk]

Soon after the next part, I discovered someone had achieved Soot Black by giving their Deepwood Green Chocobo a Valfruit, so a good chunk of fruit were thus wasted

Despite removing the chocobo and stopping the change in color, are the values of each fruit removed as well?

REMOVED
vvvvvvv

2 pears
Feather alert
1 apple (feather alert disappears!?)
1 apple (still no alert)
3 apple (no alert)
4 pears
2 apple
4 berry (alert comes back after the fourth!)
Feather Alert
2 berry
1 pear
3 apples
1 berry

^^^^^^^
REMOVED


Stable: Fair
1 valfruit
NO FEATHER ALERT

<no color> NO CHANGE

Stable: Fair
1 valfruit
1 valfruit
1 valfruit
Feather Alert

Kobold Brown


Any advice for my next move for Soot Black?

Sounds like your 2 stages behind me.

8th stage Finished.

Started as Rolanberry Red, Fed 1 Berries and received "New Feathers" message, end result.... Regal Purple. ugh.

My Old Post has been updated with this. I will be starting next stage immediately. Going to continue with Berries, see if I hit this loop other people have. Hope I get something different than the loop since I'm coming from the maxed red side.
