Mecrofeeding: The Way to Chocobo Color Dyeing

[AttacKat]

NOTE 9/9: Used GIMP tool and re-spec the RGB color values, the GIMP averages the value of 7x7 pixels sample space; therefore, it is also further refined and rounded to the nearest 4th scale. (0, 3, 7, 11, 15 ... 255)

The calculator wasn't dead on, nor was AttacKat's suggestion. Nothing seems to be a shoo-in yet, but this method makes sense to me.

And I don't know if we ever will be. But at least now we have a tool that can get everyone into a general range at first feed, and then fine tune from there.

Well, I did as you suggested and just gave her 1 apple, 1 pear and 1 berry in that order expecting to get K brown again. ... Checked up on her and Soot Black O_o.

lol, thanks ... tho I got there a step ahead I guess!!! :P

HE'S BLACK! MY GALLUS IS BLACK, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I must have wasted literally more than a million gil on this BUT HE'S BLACK. ... The Deepwood Green > Soot Black route, stopping at the @ worked. He's all pretty and black and matches his Sleipnir barding perfectly.

Congrads ... So I think we can finally say this microfeeding is getting everyone moving at the right direction. Both Reivaxe's and your case here is especially helpful as it proves that we can be off a little, so minor adjustments are still needed. But at least now we know what the deal is when it comes to these color traps. However small the error may be, even if it was just 1, might have been the cause that made it become 1 fruit too many and tips into the next color scale.

BTW, yeah, this can be a costly endeavor. Lucky for me I have my own plot that I can grow fruits on to do all these experiments. But even so, after a few hundred fruits, say 2-5K each, plus easy 80-160K on dirt per crop, I see how it can run up the tap pretty quickly.

Nothing will ever be perfect, that wasn't meant to be a criticism and I hope it didn't come off that way. It was just my personal experience that I didn't hit it first try, where some have gotten it on the first try feeding this way.

As I said before, this is the first thing I've read that's made sense. This was FINALLY the "Ah ha!" moment for me. It certainly has the best, and most consistent results I've seen so far as well. I think you've definitely gotten some of the doors unlocked here. I have an alt and would be happy to color test her chocobo with this system if that would be beneficial in any way. LMK!
