Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Boomerz]

Because people have been mass feeding mixed fruits or 1 fruit and didn't know what to look for. So they landed on a colour but have no idea how they got there.



I don't know, well no one knows 100% obviously. But to me that sounds like overcomplicating it.
Set a simple straight forward line with presets, add RNG and they're done.

Then again, I am no programmer whatsoever. So that's why I hope my spreadsheet can help someone to actually figure it out.

Until then, I am sticking with the KISS theory (Keep It Simple, Stupid)

I'd agree with you if there wasn't so much evidence to back the mathematical theory. There's a separate thread going on with a few hundred pages backing the math theory. It took me about 30 minutes to make the spreadsheet that estimates the dye color based on fruits fed on a math basis. To me, that is the definition of KISS. That linear theory, to me, is super complicated!

I'll be doing more testing both ways to back up one of the two theories.

I linked to your thread and included a note in the description that you had a spreadsheet up there. I'm trying to make sure that I don't multi-link to things so that people don't get confused. If you'd like a link to both your thread and spreadsheet up though, I can do that.

Please also revised the info of my spreadsheet, ver 2 is now refined to increment of 8s, not 16, to eliminate duplicate values.

To me, that is the definition of KISS. That linear theory, to me, is super complicated!

There is only ONE theory, SE's programming logic.

All the attempts here is just trying to figure out SE's programming logic, once we decode that, we have a clear path to how the colors are chosen.

So, I finally got a stable for my FC and my fruits are in so dyeing time for my chocobo Frobisher! I will update as I go along.

I am working off of this diagram since the calculator that's going around is REALLY confusing to me.

Here's what I have so far:

Starting colour: Desert Yellow
Aim colour: Rolanberry Red
Rank: 3

First feeding
5X Apples
3X 'new feathers' message
Anticipated result: Sunset Orange
Actual Result: Millioncorn Yellow

Second feeding
5X Apples
1X 'new feathers' message
Anticipated result: Pumpkin Orange
Actual Result: Pumpkin Orange

Third feeding
9X Apples
1X 'new feathers' message
Anticipated result: Sunset Orange
Actual result: Sunset Orange

Fourth feeding
12X Apples
1X 'new feathers' message
Anticipated result: Blood Red
Actual result: Blood Red

Fifth feeding
4X Berries
1X 'new feathers' message
Anticipated result: Dalamud Red
Actual result: Dalamud Red

Sixth feeding
18x Berries
1X 'new feathers' message
Anticipated result: Rolanberry Red
Actual result: Regal Purple

Seventh feeding
1x Apple
1X 'new feathers' message
Anticipated result: Dalamud Red?
Actual result: Dalamud Red

Eighth feeding
1x Berry
1X 'new feathers' message
Anticipated result: Rolanberry Red?
Actual result: Regal Purple

Ninth feeding
1x Apple
1X 'new feathers' message
Anticipated result: Rolanberry Red?
Actual result: ((unknown))

I'm in a loop.. I don't know what to do!

Just wanted to update my mission to wine red. Figured it varies from the chart a little so it doesn't hurt to have some extra info.

Starting Color: Desert Yellow >> 3x O'Ghomoro Berries >> New Color: Ul Brown >> 3x O'Ghomoro Berries >> New Color: Gobbiebag Brown >> 2x O'Ghomoro Berries >> New Color: Shale Brown >> 3x Valfruit >> New Color: Coral Pink >> 1x O'Ghomoro Berries >> New Color: Lavender Purple >> 7x O'Ghomoro Berries >> New Color: Plum Purple >> 9x Xelphatol Apples >> New Color: Regal Purple >> 1x Xelphatol Apples >> New Color: Blood Red >> 1x O'Ghomoro Berries >> New Color: ???

Sounds good to me! We'll get to the bottom of this somehow!

I give up. I keep skipping over the colors I want.

[Snootles]

Just have to show off what the hubby made for me. It's in my signature.

[Shika]

Currant Purple +1 pear = Deepwood Green

So I appear to be cycling now... not sure what to try next. Valfruit last time took me to Currant Purple again.

I decided to use a pineapple, just to see what colour it would result in...
Deepwood Green +1 pineapple = Marsh Green

Tried to make a bit less "messy", I think it's a bit less at least, hope I didn't miss anything. I might be able to squeeze in a few updates to the map if I got time before I go on holiday

just adding in my limited experience so far, as it sort of follows alinah's chart but with a curve ball. i stopped feeding each time once i got the growing new feathers message.

from starting yellow -> 4x doman plums got me to sylph green.
sylph green -> 4x o'ghomoro berries got me to gobbiebag brown.
gobbiebag brown -> 3x o'ghomoro berries got me to ash grey.

at that point i decided market board prices were insane and i got some room in my fc garden to grow more berries. i'm ultimately trying for morbol green, but am going in small steps, just 1 new feathers growing message at a time, so this will take a while. will try and update this as i can once my berries have grown.
