Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[AttacKat]

Guys,

I am working on a new theory, which I will coin it as "microfeeding" ...

Here is the link to the initial idea draft, and this is the follow up. Please assist on further experiments so we can gather more results and confirm if this works.

I don't know if it's a result of the mass feed, or the roundabout path I took, or if it'll work reliably, but taking the berry overload path out of the Regal loop turned out to be a good move. Landed on midnight blue, and one feed from there landed me directly on wine red instead of having to go through the browns, which I'm going to have to chalk up in the "Win" column and not ask too many questions, lol.

Nigh On Useless Summary

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)
Rolanberry Red to Regal Purple (3 Pears [1 proc], 5 berries [2 procs])
Regal Purple to Grape Purple (4 pears)
Grape Purple to Rolanberry Red (3 pears [1 proc], 1 berry [1 proc], 6 apples [3 procs])
Rolanberry Red Grape Purple (3 Pears)
Grape Purple to Midnight Blue (1 Apple [accident], 3 Berries)
Midnight Blue to Wine Red (2 Apples)

Some of the variance could definitely be explained by hitting walls and then coming back off of them with offset values. Interested to see where this theory goes.

Interested to see where this theory goes.

Just fed my bird a lemon (8pm), and feed it 71 fruits in the attempt to one shot to soot black. Interestingly enough, I got a feather proc for every fruit I fed after the 3rd fruit, so 69 feather procs on this one feeding.

This will be my initial, and ultimate, test to prove my theory.

1st feeding result:
Chestnut Brown 63, 47, 15
2nd feeding: 2x plums, 2x berries, 1x valfruit

This will be my initial, and ultimate, test to prove my theory.

My first test of this theory:
Shadow Blue » Soot Black
RGB(49, 49, 64) » RGB(37, 35, 30)
Difference: Red: -12, Green: -14, Blue: -34

Feed the following to change to your desired colour:
2 × Berries, 4 × Pears, 4 × Apples

Result was Loam Brown RGB(56, 45, 35)

Next step:
Loam Brown » Soot Black
RGB(56, 45, 35) » RGB(37, 35, 30)
Difference: Red: -19, Green: -10, Blue: -5

Feed the following to change to your desired colour:
2 × Apples, 3 × Pears, 3 × Berries

Result: still open
