Chocobo Dye Experimentation

I got Snow White after feeding just 15 Plums

Hey, guys, is this useful? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing Spent some time doing it today while I was a bit bored...

Been trying to figure out a pattern myself, so far, not much.

Downloaded a copy, but I noticed you are using "old" color codes, so I am going to change my copy to the codes I have updated posted in my research post.

Once I am done with that I will play with yours and see if the numbers make any sense.

Question:
Can you explain your "theory" behind this spreadsheet? Or it is just a calculator?

Ah, sorry, wasn't aware the colour codes had changed. I just copy/pasted the numbers from someone else's sheet.

EDIT: If anyone knows how I can allow people to use the drop down menus WITHOUT allowing them to change the colour of them, or remove the drop down menus altogether, I'd appreciate it. xD

8th Stage Started.

Took 9 Berries to get a new feathers message. Hopefully I avoided the loop. I'm think I'll get Grape or Currant Purple.

Think I saw another person going up the Apple route. If anyone else goes nothing but Apples, please go to Pears after you cap Apples at Blood Red. I went Berries after and it seems Angelusdemonus might be a couple stages behind me on the same route. Which is fine, it needs confirming; but we don't need 3 people doing it unless you're going for a color along the way. Apples to max then Pears still need to be mapped out.

I know someone in the other "Thread" where people still go by fruit counts (><.. /sigh) landed on Wine Red and it looks nice. I want someone to find a legit way to it. I think Rust Red and maybe Wine Red will be pears after apples.

Old post with my Apple>Berries route.

Saw a post yesterday and forgot to copy it, someone went from blood red into deeper red using 70+ apples.

This does agree with the trend I am seeing from apples, as you go deeper into the color scale, the more apple it requires. Currently I have stopped at blood red (30+ apples) and I do not have the supply to keep doing this route if the next jump is 70+ apples.

On the side note, am going to color my chocobo to Royal Blue, with our "new feather" approach, but using the fruit combo from the old spreadsheet and try to discover the path, if it exists.

Earlier I used 1 pear @ Blood Red and that sent it back a step to Sunset Orange. Then used 2 apples for another feather change. Back to Blood Red.

That's good to know; glad someone was more crazy than me. Do you know which color they hit? Getting tired of purple real fast; but I still want to go Berries for 1 more stage and then start Pears. After that I may go and try to replicate the 70+apples since I have free reign over a garden.

So i'm doing my own experiment here to see what i get by feeding my chocobo, berries until i get one "new feather" proc. I'm hoping to get corpse blue at some point...

Edited my first post with new feedings in case anyone is interested ^-^

Well, that's when I would have kept using pears even after going back to Sunset Orange. But that's just me. With AttacKat's info now, mapping apples > pears moved lower on my list of things to do. I want to confirm that high Red color and I still want to find Wine Red. I feel like it may be pears after Dalamud Red or off this high red color w/e it is.
