Chocobo dyeing R&D Thread - Post your results here!

I know I'm repeating myself but, people should stop counting "proc" messages, it makes absolutely no sense.
It only means your chocobo will change color from what he is currently. First one is somewhat useful, next ones are meaningless.

Please explain.
Because my bird actually skipped several colors by following the repeated proc, process.
I initially went from default to Coral Pink and managed to stir that to Sunset Orange in only two feed sessions.
Meanwhile, others who only do the 1 proc per session rule, go from default to either Salmon Pink or Millioncorn Yellow, by using the same fruits I used.

So in my mind, I'd hardly consider it meaningless.
It has more meaning than anything to feed multiple in one session, if you know your target and amount of procs needed to exit a color and enter a new one. Unless I am missing something that you can enlighten me on.

So according to this, all i should need to change my choco into dalamund red from desert yellow is 4 apples and one or two berries?

Following my rule set, you'll need 4 feather procs of reds and 1 proc of blue.

I am bout to get blood red.

I should have fed it all apples every transformations until it says growing feathers and stop, but first 2, I didn't know better and my chocobo got 1 berry in each of the first 2 transformations. Is my green off because of it or is it ok to leave it at that? Don't want to arrive up there at midnight blue/ink blue/kobolt brown and be screwed because I ate 2 berries too early.

So nobody can answer this?

I got Lotus Pink from Snow White by feeding one Valfruit.

Did you get the growing new feathers message?

Starting Colour: Grape Purple
52R 36G 54B

Desired Colour: Ink Blue
22R 26G 34B

Try the following Darkener Combo:

x5 Pear
x4 Berries
x3 Apple

This combo should result in an RGB of around 22R 26G 34B (assuming +/-5 average integer and using the original RGB spreadsheet) and should put you in the Ink Blue colour range. Remember your mileage may vary.

P.S: Don't hate me if you don't get Ink Blue my brain is getting tired of calculating colour combos. @_@

Same here, so I really appreciate your help!

I will try this tonight and hopefully will have good news in the morning.

To think I was part of the one minute roll back after feeding the chocobo last night, maybe it would have worked the first time T.T

Hey guys can you plz help me get to Wine Red from Rusty Red?

You're probably one valfruit away to push the red slightly up and blue a bit if not all you need while lowering the green as well.

Finally!!

I was stuck in the deepwood > ink > kobold loop when I decided to start adding 1 of each lightener every session until I hit a color that wasn't the dark dark ones.

When I hit Kobold Brown again I did 1 plum, 1 valfruit, 1 pineapple, and then another plum. All 4 proc'd and resulted in Marsh Green. From there, I did what someone else had suggested from Marsh Green. They did 2 berries and 1 apple to go to Ink Blue and then from Ink 1 pineapple to black. I combined those both in to one session so from Marsh I went 2 berries, 1 apple, 1 pineapple and got black. I guess 1 berry and 1 pineapple cancel each other out so I'm guessing just 1 berry and 1 apple from Marsh would've worked too.

Either way, so glad this is done with. I was losing my sanity. Thank you to everyone here who has contributed to the discussion and research of Chocotology.

Congratulations !

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.

So 1 pear turned it to Sky blue! XD

I am not sure why you'd give him a pineapple. But from Dalamud to Rolanberry you need to feed it Berries.
If you're at Blood Red, I'd try giving it 1 feather proc of red and 2 feather procs of blue.
I am currently at Dalamud and chose to stay there. But many people have posted results of going from Dalamud to Rolanberry with only 1 Berry.

Did this and got Dalamud red. So, one berry proc?

Yes, only 1 proc and stop there.
