Trying to go from Dalamud Red to Soot Black. Anyone have any ideas how to do that?

This lands you int he range for soot black, adding more overshoots, solet us know result.

pear 7
plum 3
berry 6

How would I get to Soot Black from Ochu Green? Keep dancing around that and Hunter Green, can't seem to shift away from those two.

Try the following:

apple 11
pear 8
berry 8

Lands almost exactly on soot black (difference of 1 on all three, the most perfect I've seen so far), so definitely in the range for you to get it. Toying more may land you elsewhere right now. Tell us the result.

Alright, after morbol green I fed 1x valfruit and got shadow blue.

Any advice for shadow blue -> soot black?

I've fed x1 pineapple, apple, berry, pear right now but if anyone has a reason to think that's unwise I can stop it and feed something else. I've got until about 8:30 pm EST. Please advise!

That probably lands you right back to shadow blue.

From shadow blue, try:

pineapple 1
apple 4
pear 5
berry 4

Since you already fed one of each, just 3 apples, 4pears and 3 berries before the 6 hour period is over. If not and still shadow blue, then feed the same. Tell us your results.

Was hoping to get some possible help. Tried going for the White or Snow White color, fed per the spreadsheet and it came out Lotus Pink. Should I just be feeding the fruit to lessen the red and it'd be fine or is there something else to get to the white?

Any help appreciated, thanks!

5 plums will get you there, 6 if your RGB is too high on values, but the great thing is if you keep adding plums you will land there no matter what, white is super easy that way. 5 or 6 will land the same result, no need to worry with plums sinc eit would take around 15 to start going the other way with colors. So go ahead and feed 6 to be sure if you got them.

Finally Soot Black. 1 Berry from marsh green did the trick!

Marsh Green (44 48 28)
Soot Black (37 35 30)

I guess using the +/-5 rule it got my numbers down to (39 43 33).

I'm not the greatest when it comes to the whole number system, how did you get marsh green (IE which fruits)?

Alright, feeding 3 apples, 4 pears and 3 berries now. Just to be clear, when you say feed the same, you mean 1/4/5/4 right? I've been flip flopping around and looping for over a week so I want to be damn sure at this point.

what do i need to feed it to get it to bark brown?

What's your current color and where do you want to go? Bark brown is your objective?

I wanted to actually go snow white, and I'm at Lotus Pink...I did what was said from cream yellow and got that instead..I figured if I could get to bark brown I could go to soot black. But if someone knows how to get the snow white, or soot black from there I'd appreciate it.

thinking 1 pear would get me the white?

And now at Blood Red! Right on schedule! Woots!

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

And he's Dalamud Red! Yay! So pretty! But onwards to glory!

Sixth feeding
18x Berries
1X 'new feathers' message
Anticipated result: Rolanberry Red
Actual result: ((unknown))

Totally terrified now.. that's a lot of berries.. he's either going to hit on mark or overshoot and end up midnight blue.. or regal purple.. *sigh*

Alright, feeding 3 apples, 4 pears and 3 berries now. Just to be clear, when you say feed the same, you mean 1/4/5/4 right? I've been flip flopping around and looping for over a week so I want to be damn sure at this point.

Yes, I took into account the values of the ones you already fed for the results posted so you just need to add the 3 apples, 4 pears and 3 berries now before end of 6 hour cycle. By feed the same, I mean that if the six hours passed from your last feed (wasn't sure when you'd see this) and you're still at shadow blue, feed the 3 apples, 4 pears and 3 berries to reach the full 1/4/5/4 total.

Keep in mind that since there is no RGB value implemented for each variance, colors fall within a range of the exact value, and since fruits work within +/- 5, you may land in one color within +/- 10 on one, +10 on the other and -5 on the third. So when we adjust, it's based on +/- 5 and if one of yours was +/- 10 it may fall short but would land in next step, so report back either way to congratulate or adjust once more. Good luck.
