Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Zorzi]

My chocobo be crazy. I wasn't planning on posting here so I didn't keep close track, but he doesn't seem to be following any colour charts or logic so I thought I'd share. After seeing people get colour changes after <5 fruits I'm starting to wonder why mine is so damn greedy.

From the beginning (desert yellow, good stable condition for every feed, rank 10).
Fed plums until feather proc (stopped counting after 15) > Celeste Green
Fed plums until feather proc (stopped counting after 15) > Sky Blue
Fed berries until feather proc (13 berries) > Raptor Blue
Fed pears until proc, lost count (judging by how many pears I had left it was around 20) > Sky Blue
Fed pears, took 36 to get the proc message > Celeste Green

I was aiming for Morbol or Turquoise but he'll bankrupt me long before that at this rate, and all I got was this stupid loop. Think I'll just give up now.

Someone has a Google Docs form to fill out when you get a color from a one fruit type feeding session, could someone please link it here for me? (There are some google docs posted here that I can't open in my browser for some reason, in case it was linked on one of those.)

What I've seen as well from your data snootles is that several of the food evens out each other, Plums seems to have brought people back a color several times after feeding berries, pineapple and apple, which seems kinda odd. Can it be that plums evens out all 3 of those fruits?

You also said I missed to add something from your data, I only found the morbol green one, can you pinpoint me to which others I'm missing?

I derped! I think it makes that you would be able to trace your steps back through other fruits because you can so easily overshoot your goal. Berries do this too.

Oh it is on there I didn't see it. I got to it from about four stages after Shale Brown brown though, not one.

Which colours did you get between Shale Brown and Goobbue Grey? If it's 4 feather proc messages but no checks for the colours, then it was a 'cap' that you reached and you basically over-fed it.

I'm trying to get to Wine Red and things have changed course slightly from the diagram so I thought it might be important.

Chocobo Color: Shale Brown
Feed 1: Valfruit - Plumage will change in 6 hours
Feed 2: Valfruit - Devours valfruit
Feed 3: Valfruit - Beginning to grow new feathers
Result: Coral Pink

Chocobo Color: Coral Pink
Feed 1: O'Ghomoro berries - Plumage will change in 6 hours/Beginning to grow new feathers
Result: Lavender Purple

So there are another two links to the infographic. I just did another 7 U'ghomoro berries before next feather grow. My aim is Plum Purple to work my way up the chart so this change in direction to Lavender Purple from Coral pink has me thrown off a bit.

Chocobo Color Data Gathering

The input is much appreciated!

Test subject Sunflower: Fed apples to proc. Expected result of Sunset Orange to Blood Red. (yay, no more cheetos bird!)

Test subject Chickyboo: Fed berries to proc. No expected result due to wtfery of Snow White to Sylph Green with Berries =_=. Result: Sylph Green to Celeste Green. Will post pics later. eta: This wasn't a marked color pathway. T_T Why can't it be straightforward? Looking at the diagram, there is a CHANCE I can jump to my desired color of Corpse Blue from where I am now. I see that Corpse Blue goes to Celeste Green with Pineapples, so I'm going to try Berries again to see if I can make the reverse jump.

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.

And now I have Deepwood Green... guess valfruit is the next to try although I'll probably end up back at blue or something.

Royal Blue



Wanted to test and verify the old qty feeding method, 30 berries + 10 apples, and using the "new feather" method, I ended up using 27 berries and 1 apple.

Desert Yellow RGB(223, 183, 87)

Desert Yellow: 4 berry -> Cork Brown RGB(207, 151, 87)
Cork Brown: 5 berry (4+1 berry) -> Ul Brown RGB(183, 167, 119)
Ul Brown: 2 berry -> Aldgoat Brown RGB(167, 135, 103)
Aldgoat Brown: 2 berry -> Shale Brown RGB(151, 135, 111)
Shale Brown: 4 berry -> Lilac Purple RGB(135, 111, 111)
Lilac Purple: 6 berry -> Plum Purple RGB(127, 87, 111)
Plum Purple: 1 berry -> Gloom Purple RGB(79, 71, 103)
Gloom Purple: 1 berry -> Othard Blue RGB(55, 95, 143)
Othard Blue: 1 apple -> Gloom Purple RGB(79, 71, 103) *Apple brought R up, so went back to deepen blue
Gloom Purple: 1 berry -> Othard Blue RGB(55, 95, 143)
Othard Blue: 1 berry -> Royal Blue RGB(39, 47, 103)
Royal Blue RGB(39, 47, 103)

Ok here are my experience so far with your image!

3. Goal = Blood Red
Feeding him "Apples" until 4 times the message "grow new feathers" appear and stopped feeding.
Result = Milloncorn Yellow <-- the first color to blood red from your image but after 4 messages of grow new feathers...
Second feed we gave him more "apples" until 5 times the message appears and stopped feeding.
Resul = ???

Same here ^^.
Gave mine more Apples until 3 message appears = Blood Red

@Alinah: Great Job! I think your chart is the best way to get the desired color atm .

If u want I can hold your color chart up to date, until you're back. I love graphic design and play around with photoshop & Co a lot. What program do you use?

I've used Illustrator, cause it's the program I prefer working with, but with all the layers and stuff it might be a bit confusing :P
