Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Snootles]

I am in Dalamud Red ->Blood Red, but since I saw a board post that indicated that Wine Red was received via Dalamud + Apples, this is what I am trying to do (so I'm not using various fruits + Dalamud at this point). It feels like... I have to get a "success" to move on to the Wine Red, but if it "fails" I get smacked a step backward (Blood Red).

I have a feeling we might see some chocobo coloring fixes with this upcoming hotfix.

Are you aiming for Wine Red? Currently have a guinea pig doing Dalamad -> Apple -> result pending. I'm thinking it'll put him into Wine Red.

Going by that chart, I keep skipping over colors. Even when feeding one type of fruit and only getting one feather message.

I would love to see your progress on this. The chart was updated though, there's an old IMGUR link and a new imageshack one. Check my sheet, it links to the current one.

Yes, trying to get Currant ultimately. Wine Red seems to be a step there. On my spreadsheet, one of the tabs (Lyrical's Chocobo) shows my step by step progress.

Chocobo Color Map/ Planner

Hello, I figured I'd take my stab at creating a google doc to assist others in predicting the color their chocobo will turn out. It is very very basic and not fancy but I believe can be utilized to predict chocobo colors with some accuracy. When you click the document, enter the R,G, and B of your current chocobo color and how many fruit you plan on feeding your chocobo. The link is:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1841660782

The form works by calculating distances between points in 3 dimensional space with minimums and maximums set at 0 and 255, respectively. I treat RED, GREEN, and BLUE as x, y, and z coordinates. As we feed our chocobo different fruits, our position moves around in the space. Every dye that the chocobo can be dyed has a set point in the 3d space, set by the red, green, and blue combination of each dye. As we move, the spreadsheet calculates the distance to the CLOSEST dye.


As we know, feeding each fruit to the chocobo increases/decreases the R, G, and B of your current chocobo color. For this spreadsheet, I use an increase/decrease value of 4. Yes, I know, we don't know the exact science of how a fruit being fed to a chocobo effects the R, G, B, but until we know exactly how SE calculates the effect of each fruit during feeding, this is my estimate.
DISCLAIMERS:

I am basing my calculations on just some assumptions I've read mostly on this forum thread.

The spreadsheet does NOT work well with large numbers of fruit. It does however work well in calculating how, for example, 7 apples will affect your chocobo. Feel free to mess around with the fruit numbers with other peoples experiences to determine its accuracy (or inaccuracy) I use it for when my chocobo says he is growing feathers. I'll enter my current color in up top and then the fruit I entered to help me guess what the result will be. Vice versa, it can be used to estimate if feeding 10 fruit to your chocobo will give you the result you're hoping for.

There is a lot of ironing out to do with the spreadsheet. However, when used in correlation with other spreadsheets created by the members of this forum, it can be useful.

Please feel free to leave comments on the spreadsheet, thank you.

Writing this here for a friend:



Seafog Blue + 1 Berry proc = Peacock Blue

Peacock Blue + 1 Berry proc = Othard Blue

Can someone upload Alinah's newest infographic to imgur? ImageShacks sucks.

As far as I'm concerned, Blood Red IS the Apple Cap. There is no high lvl red color from just Apples. Anyone saying otherwise will need screenshots of their feed from Blood Red.

Blood Red > 100 apples down the gullet... nothing.. absolutely nothing. Dis-proved that rumor.

Going to Dalamud Red overnight. Then it's Valfruit and see what I get.

Alright, added a bunch of new links to the OP. If I'm still missing something, please let me know here in the thread. If I somehow missed an experiment you're running or a link that you think people might to be able to easily locate, anything like that, just let me know.

Going to work on putting together a brief summary of what's been learned so far and add that to the OP sometime in the next couple of days as well.

My Google Doc (see the link in the OP under personal experiments) has been updated with information from several ongoing experiments that I'm running, along with some complete ones.

From Desert Yellow, I fed berries til first proc (popped after 3). 6 hrs later I ended up with Gobbiebag brown. Fed berries again until next proc (after 5). Ended up with Ash Grey. I fed berries again (proc popped after 2) before I logged out. I'm hoping for Goobbue Grey.

Interesting. I fed my* bird plums (1 message) to get to Sylph Green and then plums again (1 message) to get to Snow White. I just fed my bird 3 berries, got the feathers message, and inexplicably looped back to Sylph Green. Plums are -red; Berries are +blue. Not exactly what I was expecting. >.>

*This is my alt's bird, Chickyboo, from post 2 in this thread.

eta: Just fed two berries and got the feathers message. Not sure what to expect at this point. Maybe Ash Grey if it decides to follow the color pathway again. <.<
