Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Ravenloft]

Oh you found a route to black? YAAAAY Now you're feeding it apples... are you crazy? Maybe.

I really was JOKING when I said this.. Found this real early this morning, but now I don't know what to do. lol... Bingo?



Don't Worry, it's still on Black. I haven't fed it Apples YET. I'm pondering what to do.

Jayne422 or Anonymoose, I really may need to use your stables temporarily. I really want to take him out and take SSs. Might even keep him that way. I really don't know.

Screw it. I'm taking my bird out of the stables. Going to keep the black, at least for a little while. I've got other characters on this server. I may lvl up one to get another chocobo to experiment on. My retainers are screaming at me from being loaded with crap gear I need to turn in for seals in the new FC.

Ya know, your screen shot makes me think -- how many people are taking screenshots, particularly of the "Examine chocobo" window?

Can we get these posted to an image-sharing site like Imagur.com or something? I'd be happy to compile them into a single reference so we can see all the different possible variations. Making sure that your mount has no gear equipped would be best, like the one in Ravenloft's post or these:

I've become stuck after following one of the guides commonly seen online. It has worked quite well for me so far, and little by little I've been working towards "Apple Green" for my Chocobo. Unfortunately now that I'm apparently one step away (my Chocobo is Celeste Green), all I need to do is feed him Mamook Pears.

Unfortunately I have been feeding him again and again and after 14 pears the only message I am getting is "Ganymede devours the mamook pear." There are no more hints of color change or feather molting. The guide does not suggest this is a wall but, at least for me, I do not seem to be seeing any more progress with pears.

Any suggestions?

You did hit a wall. Celeste Green is (151, 191, 191), and by feeding pears, you are doing -R+G-G, but there is no more in game color that has higher G value while the RB values goes down.

Here is what you need to feed in one feeding:
Celeste Green

Step	Feed	Qty	151	191	191
1	pear	8	111	231	151
2	apple	10	161	181	101

Target Colour RGB	159	183	103
Target Colour	Apple Green

Thank you, I (incorrectly) assumed that because I had already been feeding him quite a few pears with no change that only apples would give me what I needed. Of course now I've overshot into Cactaur Green. But using your methods I now know that I shall try 8 × Plums, 9 × Valfruit, 11 × Pineapples. Thanks for your help!

I got stuck on a Celeste Green/Apple Green loop for a week, during which I was able to go from Celeste Green to Apple Green with 1 apple and then a second time in a separate feeding with two pears and then a third time with four pears.

I think you just got unlucky, I've had to feed my bird up to 17 fruit for a proc.
