I have been on the slow and painful road on trying to get my chocobo to "Soot Black". I started off trying to get "Slate Gray" but messed up some where and now I am completely lost. I hope The following info helps anyone out. I will also keep editing this post till I finally get "Soot Black".

NOTE: I did not keep track the "Feather Growing" messages procs when feeding, sorry >.<
