Finally got my Morbol Green after zig zagging through the blues.

My entire journey (derps and all) was:
Desert Yellow
Seafog Blue
Turquoise
Seafog Blue
Turquoise
Peacock Blue
Hunter Green
Morbol Green

My previous color was Hunter Green (34, 68, 38). Since my target was Morbol Green (26, 63, 63) I fed it the following using the +/-5 rule.

Berry x3.
Apple/Pear/Berry (alternating) x2.
I received a feather proc on every single fruit.

That took the Hunter Green (34, 68, 38) to 29, 63, 63 which was super close to the listed values of Morbol Green.

Hi! Just posting this here for later where this can be edited with the combination of fruits and what not.


I was Dalamud Red - Fed 7x Darken Red, 6x Darken Green, 6x Darken Blue
Went to gloom purple - Fed 8x Darken red and 2 Darken green while attempting to go for black.

Me and my fiancee just can't comprehend this system. Ended up with Wine red along with her and now we're lost as to what to do to reach Soot black.

Help! My chocobo has been stuck on Sea Fog Blue for a couple of days now. I'm trying for Turquoise Green or Rhotano Blue, but I don't know how to get it to change anymore. I have been only getting 1 message lately during feeding and it doesn't take any effect. So frustrating ><

Wait how did you get it?

The first color I got was Seafog Blue (18 berry procs and 10 pear procs). From there I did a single Pear with a proc and received Turquoise.

And I finally managed to get Iris Purple ^-^



I feel like Lotus Pink would've been a better choice to match my haircolor (and I already had that once ;_; ) but I wanted Iris Purple this whole time so I'm happy for now :3

For those wondering how I got there

If you manage to get to either Lavender Blue or Colibri Pink, feed it Pineapples until the new feather message pops up when starting at Lavender Blue or Mamook Pears when starting at Colibri Pink.

I switched back and forth between those colors a long time until I got Rose Pink suddenly, where I fed it Doman Plums until I got the new feather message and it switched back to Colibri Pink.

After that, it switched from Colibri Pink to Gobbiebag Brown and I had to feed it only one O'Ghomoro Berry from there (could be more for others until the message pops) to get to Iris Purple.

I think it's better if you only feed so much, until the new feather message pops up :3

Thanks I will try that!

My chocobo went back to Ink Blue after feeding it another valfruit at Deepwood Green. It's jumped to Ink Blue 4 times already...I fed it another pineapple, but I'm wondering if I should risk overshooting it by feeding it 2 messages worth of pineapples just in case one puts it at Deepwood Green again. x_X

My mistake, she turned Bone White...



This is with... Doman Plum x17, Cieldalaes Pineapple x6, Valfruit x12

Feed it doman plum too you get 2 message of feather growing that what my gf did she feed it 3 and got two message

Yes, I believe this is what you should do. I think you're too deep in to darks to get Soot. Maybe trying feed one of each lightener plus an extra Pineapple. So Pineapple, Plum, Valfruit, Pineapple.
