Chocobo Dye - The Missing Manual

[Cyrus-Wallace]

Wow, I didn't understand anything, maybe because english is not my native language or I'm dumb. So, let's say I'm with my desert yellow choco and I want to feed it with dalamud red. I need X amount of fruits. According to the spreadsheet, it's Xelphatol Apple x32, O'Ghomoro Berries x22, Mamook Pear x15. These fruits are from Desert yellow, I pressume. So, I gotta feed it with ALL the apples first, then ALL the berries and then ALL the pears? or what's the order? I did this the other day and it became an Olive Green. Then I gave it a lemon and he's back to Desert Yellow. No idea how this works -.-

Yes, the spreadsheet will tell you what to feed it when starting from desert yellow. However, not everyone will need the exact same number of fruits because of RNG. So, the RGB scales from a value of 0-255 for each colour. Each fruit will effect the values of each colour by adding or subtracting a number between 3 and 6, that's where the RNG comes in which means different people may get slightly different colours for the same fruit.

Also, the Han Lemon is suppose to bring it back to Desert Yellow.

Thanks!!! Sounds hard to guess since these values are invisible. So, let's take for example, again, the dalamud red. As I mentioned above, the fruits are apples, berries and pears. Should I feed it first with ALL the apples and then move to the other fruit, in that order or that doesn't matter at all? And yes, I can confirm that the han lemon bring it back to desert yellow.

Oh, sorry I forgot to get to that point. No, it shouldn't matter what order you feed it. The order you add or subtract does not matter just once you feed all of the food.

So how do I make a white Chocobo?

Going off the RGB colour sliders, the colour white is achieved by getting as close to 255 in all colours (RED, GREEN, and BLUE). To achieve this you will need to feed your chocobo an equal amount of the types of food which say they LIGHTEN a colour (RED, GREEN or BLUE). That way, only one colour's sliders moves toward 0, while the other two move toward 255.

Now keep in mind your Chocobo starts at Desert Yellow which naturally has a higher Green and Red starting value, this means you'll want to feed him more fruit that increases the blue colour value initially.

That is not really true. From the default color i only fed my chocobo the doman plum. Needed it to grow new feathers 2x and now my chocobo is snow white. Either there are some special ways to reach certain colors or something doesn't add up in the theory.

I'm at royal blue, what do I feed for sooth black?

OMG that Midnight blue is gorgeous. I've been following this https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/16...661/Tdbywa.png so far in an effort to get to get Abyss Blue and maybe Soot black eventually. I've little issue so far with small feedings following the path it says. I've gone Cork, UI, Aldgoat, Shale I believe and am currently on a 1 pineapple feeding in an effort to get back to Gobbie Bag brown to take the easy way to Abyss Blue.....though I might want midnight instead now XD

LOL, you will be my first guinea pig ...

Once we get enough confirmations that this works, or at least helps shorten the path to desired color, I will then make a new post and we can con't from there.
