Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Athalia]

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

Haha, thats no problem i think. Good choice to work with many layers. But i hope each layer has a name xD ? Illustrator is a cool prog, if u want i can try it. Otherwise i think we can wait for your return in 10 days .

They don't have names XD.
I know in illustrator it's very hard to pick up someone elses work, tried it myself and it's a total mindfuck :P since everyone works differently.
Like for example in mine atm I have the copy of all the colors, then 2 versions of the "tree" 3 copies in total, all of different layers.
The last tree I stopped caring about layers and naming it, so it's all in one.
SO basically I have like 10-15 self made layers within those, more selfmade layers, within that obviously several hundreds of layers :P

Going to join the fray here and post each step of my progress from Desert Yellow to Grape Purple (one new feathers message from one fruit type at a time). Hopefully I can help corroborate the findings so far, and if something goes horribly awry, hopefully you'll at least be able to help meh fix it!

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.

That's what you get going Berries from Rolanberry Red. It's not on the chart, but it's on my First Post.

Using Berries after Blood Red: Blood Red > Dalamud Red > Rolanberry Red > Regal Purple > Royal Blue

Unrelated to this.. From Dalamud Red, using Valfruit.. takes you back to Blood Red. So I guess I'll throw Valfruit at Blood Red now.

[Ravenloft]

On Blood Red, it took 29 Valfruit to get a new feathers message. (just when I was about to give up)

See what I get in 6hrs... probably a pink.

Zomb tried Apples from Dalamud, and I think Lyrical is doing the same thing now.

If this doesn't pan out, I'll go apples or valfruit from Rolanberry Red.

Just had FC Mate feed Turquoise Chocobo Berries and proc'd new feathers after 5 berries. I notices on the chart no one had moved anywhere from turquoise. I will let you know results in 6 hours

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 = ???

So for the third chocobo with goal "blood red" your image could be wrong. The chocobo have already 4 times changed feathers and now 5 more times. We hope now after 6 hours the chocobo is blood red. Maybe there are steps where to stop feeding after 1, 2 or 3 messages?

The chart is not wrong there. You CANNOT go by new feathers message count if you're trying to skip colors. Once that message pops, it keeps on showing until you change fruit. You either skip colors or you go 1 step at a time. With the amount you've probably fed, you're gonna land on Pumpkin Orange, maybe Sunset. The 2 times I've gone up the Apple path it took 34 and 35 Apples Total to hit Blood Red.

Turquoise Green --> Used 11 Berries = Peacock Blue
Peacock Blue --> Used 1 Berry = Othard Blue
Othard Blue --> Used 7 Berries = Storm Blue
Storm Blue --> Used 9 Berries = Royal Blue
Royal Blue --> Used 16 Apples = ???

I'm now going to see if going from Royal Blue leads be back to where I started: Blood Red.

Chart says Abyssal Blue.. I say that or Regal Purple. Either or should take you to Rolanberry after.

I'm gonna laugh if it's Regal. Then it'll have to go in the chart since 2 others would have hit it besides me.
