Chocobo dyeing R&D Thread - Post your results here!

What is this calculator some people have mentioned? My chocobo's 6hrs should have finished by now but a few hours til I can go home and check if he's snow white yet. I'm thinking I'll start growing the fruits for my alt's chocobo next...maybe soot black

[Rustyhagun]

From my Actual experience I can tell you this. If you feed him 2 pineapples from midnight blue and both of them get the growing feathers thing you will prob end up in abyssal blue like I did.

So be careful just in case

I'm going to do 1 then... to be safe.

Found myself with a chestnut brown chocobo after feeding couple pears when he was a rolanberry red.

So I need a bit of help understanding this spreadsheet. I'm aiming for Sky Blue. It says I need "O'Ghomoro Berry x13, Mamook Pear x10, Valfruit x1, Doman Plum x5 /// O'Ghomoro Berry x12, Doman Plum x11, Xelphatol Apple x3 // Doman Plum x28." From my understanding, that means that those are my 3 options of feeding it in order to get that color. I was going to go the Doman Plum route, but it also says that 28 Doman Plums makes, Celeste Green. Do the /// and // mean something else, like I'm supposed to feed it that batch first, and then feed it the next?

OH, thanks for the reply!

If I get the same result with Celeste Green I now know what to try! (Good thing no one in my FC uses Pineapples ... got like 60+ where as I'm gonna have to hope no one touched the Valfruit by the time I wake up :v )

It worked! Went from Celeste Green to, from the transformation screen, looked ... like Celeste Green but with a tiny tiny TINY bit more blue to it. Pulled out of the screen and it looked like Celeste Green. Examined it and ... it said Snow White and it looked snow white in the window.Pulled out again and it looked Snow White ..

Guess I'm gonna stick with Snow White. Getting real tired of not taking my Choco out for combat.

Read that big yellow box up the top Do NOT use that spreadsheet, it was made when people were under the impression x amounts of fruit would give a specific colour.

You need some combination of those fruits, but the exact numbers may be totally different for you

Can you guys help me on geting Soot Black from Regal Purple. Thank you!

Didn't end up with soot black but got charcoal grey.
From regal purple I fed 2 Xelphatol Apples, 2 O'Ghomoro Berries and 4 Mamook Pears with only 1 feather proc.
Maybe you can tweak that around and get lucky! :P

Impressive color you've got.if you aim to soot black i suggest :
1) 2 Plum 1 Berry 1 Val | this method will get you right to soot black or kobold brown or loam brown
2) 2 Plum 2 Berry | this method will get your RED close to GREEN but there's high chance that R<G and if that happen you will end up at Deepwood Green.
For Soot Black you're gonna need R>G>B and the numbers need to close to each other as much as possible around 37 35 30
For 1st method if you get kobold brown just feed 1 plum,for loam brown you need to feed 3 berry 2 pear 1 apple.

i had my chocobo sunset orange i gave him 10 apple 10 berries (100% "procs" )and got damamud red
should not be possible the feed must have done -56 -64 -24

so my theories of when the color change it could set his values at the new color values is false
the color system could be not rgb but cmyk , or no symetrical +5-5-5 model

From my theory,the proper feeding order to get dalamud red from sunset orange is
12 berry 8 pear 7 apple
But if i calculate with your fruits,the color should end up rolanberry red instead which RGB numbers pretty roughly close to dalamud red.
So i'm not surprise much with your experiment,maybe the "hq" proc effects the outcome.
Its normal for the result a bit off on the big feed session.
