Chocobo Colouring, my progression to a Soot Black Chocobo.

[rigormortis]

any suggestions from a regal purple? It seems no matter what I feed it, I no longer get grows new feathers message.

Ended up with Deepwood Green lol any suggestions on where to go? valifruit to lighten green? i have tried lighten blue (got kobold brown), lighten red (deepwood green); or should i add darkening fruits?

So I think i might have botched my color cycle fed it two pineapples got color change on second feed, then I gave it one berry with no color color change message hoping to cancel out on of the pineapples. I guess we'll see where i end up in 6 hrs.

The above didn't change the color I didn't get the color change animation despite the feather change message. So I gave it two lighten green got the color change on the second feed.

The valifruit from deepwood green got me soot black! only took 9 color changes but my quest is finally over! Thanks everyone for all the help and good luck to everyone else!

Ah well it's a step in the right direction. Unfortunately it would be difficult to predict the exact number needed because of the slight RNG that is assumed to be behind it. From there, I would suggest feeding it a 1:1:1 ratio of darkening foods. Perhaps only 1 or 2 of each since you are quite close.

so did as you suggested and feed it 1:1:1 getting 3 feather change messages to have it turn deepwood green which from past posts was said that 1 valfruit would bring to soot black well .... my chocobo is now "Currant Purple" ...ya idk...i understand that my colour % is probably off a micro from what i needed for soot black from deep wood green...this is so frustrating ><

6 hours later....
i fed him 1:1:1 again and now i'm Void Blue....i give up...

Update: Feed 4 has finally gone in. Had been waiting for space in FC garden to open up so I could grow some food.

Just got my black chocobo!!!! I whould like to thank bar for making this thread and also helping me out on the last steps. I will share my feeds from Regal Purple and so on:

1. Regal Purple + 5 berries, 2 pears => Gloom Purple (74,62,89)
2. Gloom Purple + 2 berries => Abyssal Blue (43,39,80)
3. Abyssal Blue + 5 apples, 5 pears, 1 berry => Loam Brown (56,45,35)
4. Loam Brown + 1 berry => Grape Purple (52,36,54)
5. Grape Purple + 2 apples, 3 pears, 1 berry => Kobold Brown (42,28,23)
6. Kobold Brown + 1 doman plum => Soot black (37,35,30)

I also wrote the RGB values so you can check how the feeds affects each colour. For the last step i only used only 1 plum whereas other ppl used 2.

Happy Chocobo feeding

Perhaps one of your colour might be off. Will look into it at some point. As of right now (when I am posting this), I am quite tired XD very busy lately but I will try get back to you.

EDIT:

Also updated with Feed #5

Hey Barboron, i fed what you suggested + 2 more berries and now I have a midnight blue chocobo. Looks really nice and still debating if keeping it or going for soot black but what would be the next step needed for soot black?

From midnight blue, the exact values that is, 3 pineapples should bring you down to it. But the same issue keeps cropping up for everyone which is, I don't know the feed history so I can't estimate the current values for your chocobo so while 3 pineapples could bring someone fromthe exact Midnight blue RGB values to soot black, your chocobo might be a bit off. Either way, it sounds like you need to bring the blue value down a bit, even if you want to do 1 or 2 pineapples and take it in stages.

Well you seem to be messing around in the right area. Since you are hitting the purple and blue areas it sounds like your B value is too high feeding apples & pears in a 1:1 ratio will bring down just the blue value.
