Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Rorichan]

[/B]Worst case scenario, you don't end up at Rolanberry, yet, but still end up well outside of your loop, yeah?

So.. my chicken is really stubborn.. as soon as I fed him apples POOF! Regal Purple.. *facepalm* I put him back to Dalamud Red and regrowing more fruit. I think I'm going to feed him a lemon and start over again in hopes that he gets reset and I can do a smooth curve to Rolanberry Red.

currently, i had to feed my chocobo 8 pears to get the next feathers growing message. alinah's chart doesn't have green lines from raptor or seafog blues, but i'm expecting turquoise or adamantoise green.

so annoyingly i got sky blue from seafog blue by adding green. that wasn't expected. since it seems like there's no way to get to morbol from where i'm at on the chart, i went ahead and fed 4 o'ghomoro berries, each of which gave me a new feathers growing message.

i had hoped to find a new way to morbol green from the turquoise end of the spectrum but i don't have tons of spare fruit to keep feeding it to see if that works. so now i'm going to approach it from the blue end of the spectrum since that seems to be a known way of getting there.

i know feeding multiple times and getting multiple feathers messages isn't very scientific, what can i say. got frustrated with my current route and just want to see results now.

Starter Colour - Sky Blue
Fed - 4 Berries (1 proc)
Result - Turquoise Green

. . . that was certainly not what I was expecting but I'll take it. Let's hope all he wants now is a few pears to get to Adamantoise Green.

Does anyone recall what was the maximum amount of the same fruit reported to proc single "new feathers" message? I am trying to decide if I should try 30 O'Ghomoro berries if I manage to get back to Royal Blue.

The max it's taken me to get one is 29, next highest has been 17 twice. In my experience, Royal Blue is most likely the cap of berries (at least coming from the red side). When I hit it, I fed 51 more berries and didn't hit anything else.

Thanks to everyone, finally obtained the color I wanted : Chocolate Brown! Why this weird color? Simply because my Chocobo's name is "Chocolat" since 1.0 (not a mistake, it's the french word for chocolate)

Congrats! I'm glad you got your color and the fact that you got to Russet instead of the weird path I landed on.

Storm blue rage! Trying to get to storm blue. I've read all the posts, looked at the chart, and experimented. I seem to be stuck in a loop!

Othard blue + Apple = Royal blue
Othard blue + Berries = Royal blue
Royal blue + Pear = Othard blue
Royal blue + Plum = Othard blue

Anyone have a suggestion? Because I'm lost.

Have you tried Royal Blue + Apples?

So Recap. I went Rolanberry Red + 3 Pears > Regal Purple + 8 Pears > Bark Brown + 1 Apple > Regal Purple + 1 Pear > Bark Brown + 2 Pears > Mud Green .

I just keep finding every color except the one I actually want. My First Post with all my experimentation recorded.

Just got the message from Berries #2.. so Mud Green + 2 Berries = ??? (shall find out in the morning)

Mud Green + 2 Berries = Charcoal Grey + 1 Apple = ??? (in 6 hours)

Thanks! I guess, I will have to try something else.

EDIT: I have managed to get Royal Blue from Regal Purple. Trying to feed Cieldalaes Pineapples now.

Update on Mini Moose's route to Wine Red:

Desert Yellow to Millioncorn Yellow (Apples x4)
Millioncorn Yellow to Pumpkin Orange (Apples x7)
Pumpkin Orange to Sunset Orange (Apples x11)
Sunset Orange to Blood Red (15 Apples)
Blood Red to Dalamud Red (4 Berries)
Dalamud Red to Rolanberry Red (15 Berries)

At this stage, she became a bit paranoid about falling into the regal pit and tried to avoid it entirely by doing one feather process from pears (3 pears) and two from berries (1 berry, 4 more berries). This number of processes took a JP player from Rolanberry to Wine, but that player had been feeding bulk fruits the entire time, so I anticipate that she will land on russet brown, kobold brown, grape purple, or midnight blue. I realize this step will be inadmissible to this thread's theorycrafting, but to her that's worth a chance at avoiding the regal pit (watch, we'll get it anyway, because RNGesus).
