Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Shika]

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.

Well as an update I didn't get the colour I expected here either- must have had a HQ proc on the pear or something as instead of Loam Brown I ended up Marsh Green from Shadow Blue. Now fed one berry which according to the image chart leads to Soot Black (although with the way things have been going who knows!). The one berry gave process message.

An update on my observations:

Russet Brown + Berry = Regal Purple
Regal Purple + Valfruit = Rolanberry Red


From my previous post:

Dalamud Red + Berry = Regal Purple
Regal Purple + Berry = Royal Blue
Royal Blue + Pineapple = Regal Purple
Regal Purple + Apple = Dalamud Red
Dalamud Red + Pear = Regal Purple
Regal Purple + Pear = Russet Brown

Proc message not process message- sorry, stupid phone auto correct.

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

ImageShack is not loading for me. Please upload to imgur!

-snip-Snow White. I just fed my bird 3 berries, got the feathers message, and inexplicably looped back to Sylph Green.

Ah ha! Thanks, I've been curious about what happens when you feed different fruit after Snow White!

As far as I'm concerned, Blood Red IS the Apple Cap. There is no high lvl red color from just Apples.

That's been the general consesus for a few days now me thinks?

If I'm still missing something, please let me know here in the thread.

I don't see my spreadsheet linked ^^

-snip- the spreadsheet calculates the distance to the CLOSEST dye.

So far from what I can see, the colours are presets with RNG involved. Yes, these presets seem to be based on RGB but it's not exact -at all-.

^ That would be the reason I retested the apple cap.

I am also trying for soot black on an alt's bird. Following the handy dandy chart that was recently updated, I decided to take the apple > berry path towards kobold brown. Feeding only until I got the first feather proc and then letting it sit.

I can confirm the path up to Rolanberry Red, But here's where something went tilt.
I went with a berry feeding again. Expected result was Midnight Blue (yay!) or Royal Blue (not so yay). Instead I got Regal Purple.

I am using a pineapple now to try and get Rolanberry Red back, even though this path was completely unlisted.

Would you please share this through my sheet? Alinah also checks it for the colour chart =D

Hello fellow breeders and chocobro's! I just got goobbue grey from seven O'Ghomoro Berry stages.

Fed him O'Ghomoro Berries 3 stages to Shale Brown, then 4 more stages got me this nice goobbue grey.
I was trying to get to a dark brown but I guess I went to an unmapped part of the chart I was looking at.
