Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Gamina]

Just updated my findings here http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post2390346

Have managed to loop back a colour but skipped my purple stage. Have now fed plums in an attempt to push down a blue route.

Didn't say you didnt do any research on your own, about 25% of my data could not be found on the forums since they were taken from game sources that did not post on forums and found it odd that your was posted shortly after mine. I would appreciate some kind of small credit at the bottom. Also here is new data i just updated it a min ago if you are going to continue with your chart since im sure it will change again. It does look amazing I'm sure you get paid well

hate this max post stuff

Not that you want more work but your ice blue could extend with what I have found I looped it with single fruit single message feeds through Iris Purple and Colibri Pink and then back through to Ice Blue. Its in the post just above.

So after a few days of going back and forth between plum and lavender blue, I finally got colibri pink from feeding a valfruit at lavender.


It's now accepted that each new feather message doesn't count as 'additional fruit are being used' and you should go 1 fruit at a time if you want a specific color; get to the first feather message and stop. If your color is really far down the line, feel free to mass feed on the first session, but I'd do single feed adjustments after that.

That's pretty much what I was saying. You feed it fruit, step by step until you receive the 'beginning to grow new feathers' message since that is the indicator of the colour change. Also, if you check my spreadsheet it will show you the path to Colibri Pink. It's in the Apple colour-tree.

Adding your find from Lavender Blue to Colibri Pink with Valfruit.

Not sure if this could be usefull to anyone, but I'll leave my results here.

Starting from the Base Color (Desert Yellow), I decided to stop at every "new feathers" message to see results. Was aiming for Lilac Purple, and I'll stop here for now, so that more people on my FC have the chance to dye their chocobos

1st 6 hours
3x berries
1 message 'new feathers'
RESULT: Cork Brown

2nd 6 hours
1x berrie
1 message 'new feathers'
RESULT: UI Brown

3rd 6 hours
3x berries
1 message 'new feathers'
RESULT: Aldgoat Brown

4th 6 hours
2x berries
1 message 'new feathers'
RESULT: Shale Brown

5th 6 hours
2x berries
1 message 'new feathers'
RESULT: Lilac Purple

total to lilac purple: 11 berries / 5 new feathers message

Do you mean Lavender Blue?

[Realchucky]

Everyone say diffrent things about the color change and message recive there isnt any clear information about it and proof.

I got multiple times the feather change text while i feeded all fruits listed for snow white so why i have to stop after the frist message? He was cork brown and i gave him all fruits in one session for snow white an my chocobo is now snow white. Waiting 6 houts after each feather change message isnt necessary i think!

Nop, Lilac Purple as shown in the image below.

Edit: If it's of any help to you a friend of mine recorded on 1st session: 7 new feathers message (10 berries) = goobbue grey. And at 2nd session: 2 new feathers message (3 berries) = lavender purple(lavender blue?). So if the messages are to be accounted for, Lilac purple should sit somewhere before Goobbue Grey and Lavender Blue.

Did some changes due to what I've seen posted on the forums today, some colors are double in some cases, hopefully once we have a more info we can make a better map

-snipped because character max- Waiting 6 houts after each feather change message isnt necessary i think!

I never said it was necessary to wait after every 'beginning to grow new feathers!' message. It would be prudent to wait if you require several steps to get to your desired colour. Because you can skip 1 step in a colour tree.

Example:

Starting Desert Yellow
Desired colour Colibri Pink

This means you would start feeding it Valfruit. From default colour to your desired colour it is 4 steps so 4x 'beginning to grow new feathers!' messages. BUT you can 'HQ' and skip 1 step so if you do not check inbetween you might end up at Plum Purple instead.

[Realchucky]

So your picture say from "cork brown" i cant change to "snow white" or how this picture work? My Chocobo as i posted before was "cork brown" than i feeded him the necessary fruits from a spreadsheet to make him "snow white" and it worked!
