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

Okay need help badly.

Was at Moss Green last night and fed 3 pears to get feather message. This morning I checked and now it's acorn brown.

So I fed 4 apples and a berry to get feather message. I then fed 5 pineapples with no feather message trying to raise the blue a little.

Not sure what I will end up with this afternoon, but I'm shooting for Ochu Green. Any help?

Feeds that "deepen" make that fruits color go UP in numbers not down. I can say this from personal experience. I posted this on page 188. Fed it nothing but Oh'gamarro Berries (deepen blue), and the blue value went up since I was getting UI Brown > Gobbiebag Brown > Shale Brown > Goobue Grey > Corpse Blue.

If Desert Yellow has a blue value of 87 like the chart says it does, I can't possibly have a color that requires a blue value to be near 135 if "deepen" feeds make me go down.

I've been using the chart and have been right on the money for saying which color will come next after I get the new feathers message for every single color so far. I'm not saying I'm 100% right, but if I am wrong, please explain how I got to Shale Brown from Desert Yellow feeding it only Berries. Shale Brown's red and green value are lower than Desert Yellow, while it's blue value is much higher and once again I only used Berries at this point.

Ya i try yours ended up getting Lilac Purple first time i put it i did not get any feathers so took it out and try again. Got 14 and feed two more issue was that apples and pears also go the feather message. Which mean to follow someone else way of getting it you would have to take your chocobo out. Waste a lot of feed and time to get it 100% the way someone else did.

By the look of it there no real way of getting soot black by just following someone you have to just do it yourself and hope you get it.

Anyone able to help me get my Sea Fog Blue Chocobo to Sky Blue?

I keep getting Adamantoise Green when I try to use the pineapple. I think I may be stuck in a loop.

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

Trying to get ink blue but stuck in a loop from midnight blue to grape purple.

Any ideas how to break this one? Pineapple? Pear and apple?

Not sure what you've been feeding and where you're at now. But. I got from Grape Purple to Ink Blue by feeding 2 pears and 1 berry. Not sure if helpful or not.

Just want to share my lovely peacock blue chocobo! Took 21 O'ghormo berries and 10 Mamook Pears. (19 berries only put him at turquoise)

Any hint from Gloom Purple to Soot Black ?

[GigaGaia]

I made it to Midnight Blue. Can you go directly to black with pineapple (I hear giving 3 pineapple works) or must you go to ink blue or kobalt brown first?

Also, on chart it says you must mix berries, pears and apples (unlike previous color changes from desert yellow -> Millioncorn Yellow -> pumpkin orange -> Sunset Orange -> Blood red -> Dalamund red -> Rolanberry red -> Midnight blue that I did all without mixing any fruits and just using one color). My question is from midnight blue, what is the best for next step?

Just a quick update.

Cactuar Green -> fed berries until new feathers
Torquoise Green -> fed 1 pear with new feather message

Keep in mind I went back to Cactuar green from torquoise green by using an apple until I got the feather message.

Waiting to see the results.

Turquoise Green -> fed 1 apple with message
Cactuar Green -> fed berries until message to get back to turquoise then fed pears with no message so I feed him more berries until I got another message.

I keep going back to Cactuar green when feeding deepening fruits while in Turquoise.
