Chocobo Dye - The Missing Manual

[Kusari-chan]

So I just started the color change thing yesterday. My ultimate goal is soot black, so I know i'm going to be working at it for a bit, but this is my progress report.

First feeding of 3 xephatol apples got me to millioncorn yellow
Second feeding of 2 xephatol apples (lol the only ones I had left ^.^ and 4 o'ghomoro berries got me to cork brown.

Third feeding consisted of 3 more o'ghomoro berries, now we wait ^.^

I am at Coral Pink now, next feeding consists of 2 more o'ghomoro berries. Let's see where this takes me.

It got me to Aldgoat Brown. . . a most undesirable turn of events ^.^;
So I fed my chocobo a valfruit and it immediately decided to grow new feathers.

Back at Coral Pink again, so gonna try to a mix of 1 valfuit and 4 berries to get it going more purple this time.

so apparently that mix did nothing. . . so from that coral pink, I fed my bird 9 apples trying to move back toward black, following the spreadsheet and it turned a lovely Sunset Orange so it appears I'm back on track. Going to try more apples and see if I can't get it to blood red.

Took 10 apples to get the "feather" message.

so I got him to Blood Red, but then I forgot that after blood red, apples don't get it to dallamud, so after feeding 10 more apples I check the map and /facepalm.

So then I grabbed some berries, after 6 berries I got the color change message. If I get Royal Purple I won't be disappointed, but I kind of wanted to see the Dallamud Red ^.^

Dalamud Red FTW, it's soooooo pretty, I may choose to come back to this color later.

But moving onward, gonna move toward rolanberry and midnight blue. Fed 12 berries without any 'feather' message so I figured my over feed of apples earlier might be to blame, so I fed 4 plums and got me the feather message. With so much blue, I might skip a step to midnight, or could go horribly wrong. . . we'll see ^.^

soo. . . went to Regal Purple. Not quite the desired direction, but probably just because of all the apples. . . I think I'll try heading toward Royal Blue then, so more plums are required. Took 7 to get the message to pop. check back in a few hours ^.^
