Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Zomb]

I've followed along with the apple testing done in this thread and experienced the same results. Fed nothing but apples until I got to blood red (stopped feeding apples each time I got the new feather message). I then fed berries until I received the new feather message and now I have dalamud red. My end goal is wine red, but it doesn't seem like anyone has achieved this color with accurate testing.

I think if anyone is able to translate this page

more accurately than google translate we might be able to figure it out. It looks like the guy went from rolanberry red to wine red. Has anyone tried feeding pears to a rolanberry red choco?

Good Job. I glad we got some work confirmed. I personally continued on with Berries from Rolanberry. If I had to take an educated guess, following the same route I did, Wine Red would probably be pears started from Dalamud Red. Or, Wine Red would be branched off of this high lvl Red that hasn't been confirmed yet. From the map/planner, if you start pears from Rolanberry it seems you can get Grape Purple. I'm not saying it's not possible from Rolanberry, but I feel like it's too much of a Violet color. As far as I know, no one in this thread has done pears off of a red from the same route yet. So you are welcome to try.

edit: More theorizing.. pears for a step or two off of Dalamud/Rolanberry. Then maybe try apples again to hit Wine.
With the unknown RNG at work, it's really just guesswork till someone finds it.

Decided to take your advice and go with pears from dalamud red. Shockingly, it only took one pear to get the new feathers message O_O
I'll post later tonight/tomorrow morning with the results.

lol Crazy mess. Good Luck. I hope you can find it. I thought my heart was set on Dalamud Red, but I find Wine Red to be quite nice also.

Does anyone know how to get to Iris Purple from Colibri Pink?

My 9th Stage just finished.

Started at Regal Purple, took 9 berries to get a "new feathers", turned unto Royal Blue.

I'll just chalk it up as more strange stuff..

Now what do I do.. more Berries or start on Pears.. Blood Red took 35 Apples, now I'm at 32 Berries total.

More Berries I guess, since I'm technically at 75 apples/ 32 Berries.

Berries should be capped, or I think I read it could go to Abyssal...but that's inconclusive.

I would personally see if going backwards (apples) would reproduce the same steps, but going in reverse obviously. But that's me.

Right now I did the apple path, got to Dalamud, then went the following:

Dalamud Red --> 2 Plum = Blood Red (I thought I could produce a different red that wasnt Blood Red, but guess not?)
Blood Red --> 13 Pear = Plum Purple (Decide to see if I could get to the green color line just like how berries moved itself over to the blue color line (Royal blue))
Plum Purple --> 1 Pear = Blood Red (/shrug)

(This is stopping on first new feathers, for clarity).

I'm continuing on pears from here on out until...idk .

I went the opposite way to you from Iris Purple to Colibri Pink using a Valfruit so you could try the opposite. I took green away so you need to add one green??

So apparently Dalamud Red > Pear > Blood Red.

Going to feed berries again to try to get back to Dalamud Red. Someone in another thread posted that they got the new feather message from apples at Dalamud Red, so I might try that. Afraid it's just going to take me back to Blood Red though.

Yeah, that's strange. I really didn't think that would happen. At the very least I thought you might hit a brown.
