Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Cellar_Doors]

Want to make my way to Wine Red.

I've found that Dalamud Red + Pear = Blood Red and Dalamud Red + Apple = Blood Red. I'm trying to do one fruit at a time so I'm just going to keep playing around with it, one pear from blood red gave me the new feather message earlier this morning.

Not seeing how you got Blood Red out of Dalamud Red + Apple. If anything it's the other way around. You shouldn't be getting a lighter red shade from feeding an apple. You should try feeding more than one apple. Try giving it 3 x apples

I feel like I saw this path somewhere, but now that I'm looking at the various charts/spreadsheets, I can't find it again. But, I managed to get Lavender Purple + Valfruit = Plum Purple.

Starting color: Lavender Purple
Feed: Valfruit
Number of "new feather" procs: 1
Resulting color: Plum Purple

Blood Red is the likely apple cap. (Likely, because we have yet to get a confirmation anything is past Blood Red using Apples).

Generally speaking, Blood Red + Berry = Dalamud Red, and generally Dalamud Red + Apple would bring you back to Blood Red. I got back to Blood Red from Dalamud using a Plum, personally.

Lol, got Dalamud Red again.

So apparently Dalamud Red + Pear = Blood Red AND Blood Red + Pear = Dalamud Red. This is a weird system.

I dont understand the looping, but I'm seeing it often. If you continue with Pears on Dalamud Red you should eventually break out of the loop, likely on Blood Red.

I went Blood Red + Pear = Plum Purple, Plum Purple + Pear = Blood Red, Blood Red + Pear = Plum Purple, Plum Purple + Pear = Opo Opo Brown.

With that said, if you're aiming for Wine Red, don't go down the Pear path on Blood/Dalamud in my opinion. From my experiment with pears on Blood Red, you'd basically be going the wrong way .

Fixed it up a bit with all the double colors and the issues I was having with it. Been adding some new stuff aswell. Got a bit from your spreadsheet Snootles, added your description and what we know into it, and ofcourse your name along with Gilgameshkun under special thanks .

That's strange considering I went nothing-but-apples from Desert Yellow, hit Blood Red, fed 40 more apples and didn't hit anything. Anyway, I'm in the process of getting to Blood Red again to retry that with 70+ apples.

So you don't get confused here's my route with Lilac purple (from 15 berries, 8 apple, 8 pears not sure if this part matters since didn't record the feather changes at the time) being the start

Lilac Purple
fed 2 apples 1 valfruit/feather change-
Qiqirn Brown
fed 3 apples/feather change-
Sunset orange
fed 1 berry/feather change-
Blood Red
fed 4 berries/feather change-
Regal Purple
fed 1 apple/feather change-
Blood Red
fed 1 berry/feather change-
Regal Purple (loop)
went back to Blood Red from 1 apple again then fed 6 apples to feather change-
Dalamund red

12th Stage Finished.

Started Othard Blue, 11 Pears to get one new feathers message. Result: Peacock Blue.

Opo Opo Brown --> Used 4 Pears = Moss Green
Moss Green --> Used 7 Pears = Cactuar Green
Cactuar Green --> Used 20 Pears: No new feather message (possible hard green cap? I thought that was apple green?)
Used 10 Berries: New Feather message, stopped.

Decided just to go up berry line now with Cactuar Green, see where I end up. Maybe I end up with Royal Blue?

Cactuar Green --> Used 20 Pears (nothing) / Used 10 Berries = Turquoise Green
Turquoise Green --> Used 11 Berries = Peacock Blue
Peacock Blue --> Used 1 Berry = ???

As Royal Blue with pears was going, what was it, Storm Blue, Othard Blue, Peacock? Right? Looks like Cactuar Green with Berries is going backwards/forwards hitting that same line, but working towards (possibly) Royal Blue.

I know you were aiming for some path to Soot Black, but I'm semi happy to see a consistent pattern of colors with a controlled amount of feeds.

To recap, I went from pure apple to Blood Red, to a few berries/2 Plums to Dalamud back to Blood Red, to pure pears till Cactuar Green, and now pure berries to my current color.

So no one believes me about this, but I reset my choco (been playing with a while and decided it was just easier to restart) to follow the chart that's been posted recently. Fed apples til feather proc message ("X has begun growing new feathers!"). Got Millioncorn Yellow. As expected. Fed apples again til the feathers proc, and I KNOW it happened. Went back to check on it after the plumage change should have happened, and nothing happened. There was no message, no cutscene. My choco was still just Millioncorn Yellow. I do know the difference between the original "The plumage will change in 6 hours" and the feather proc message. And I had the feather proc message with no change.

Pity you didn't wait between feather procs. Would be very valuable to know what the colour -between- Currant Purple and Soot Black is. If anyone knows, please share!

Yeah didn't think to as I thought that 2 procs were required to get to Soot Black from Currant Purple (i.e. skipping Marsh Green or w/e derivative). Didn't work anyway.... now George is Shadow Blue. Ironically when I was Woad Blue this was the next colour I was aiming for and I'd overshot it to Currant Purple. Going to re-attempt the Woad Blue > Shadow Blue > Loam Brown > Soot Black route. Fed 2 apples (as first did not proc) and 1 pear in the hope this results in Loam Brown.

I have gone from Sky Blue to Ice Blue with an apple as well and from ICe Blue to Sky blue skipping the green with a plum twice now.
