Mecrofeeding: The Way to Chocobo Color Dyeing

[Anatha]

Lets try this, it will take a few more fruits, but let's get you out of DG/KB loop.
Feed 2 plums and 4 berries to get it to Midnight Blue (wait 6 hrs) (25, 26, 57) (KB -> SB -> DW -> Ink Blue -> MB)
then feed it 3 or 4 pineapples to get it to Soot Black (MB -> IB -> SB)

I went through another loop in the time between your two last posts, I'm back at DWG, using one plum. How many feeds/what would I feed to get to MB from DW?

Should I feed it a valfruit to go back to KB, and then start from there instead?

1 valfruit, then 3 berries. You will proc on the berries, but feed it 3 so we can push the RG to the lower end.

DR = 112, 27, 27
RR = 93, 24, 43

Step	Feed	Qty	122	27	27
1@	berry	3	107	12	42
2	plum	1	102	17	47
3	pear	1	97	22	42

To Target		-4	2	1

Should get feather proc on 3rd berry, which will take you into RR range, rest are for fine tuning.

Thank you for this, but any idea for Regal Purple? XD I tried once more after asking for help, and back to Regal purple again. Regal Purple > Rolaberry Red.

[AttacKat]

Regal Purple > Rolaberry Red.

Step	Feed	Qty	104	50	80
1	berry	4	84	30	100
2	pear	4	64	50	80
3@	apple	4	84	30	60
4	pear	1	79	35	55
5	apple	2	89	25	45

To Target		4	-1	-2

After the 4 apples, you should be in RR zone.

Uhm, ok I'm kinda freaked out.

As I mentioned before about 6 hours ago before I saw your messages, I fed the bird a valfruit to move it to KB, since I was like "whatever, I'm in a loop so what's the worst that can happen if I keep going with it?"

Anyway, while I was writing this post I got confused about what color it was currently "before the change applied by the valfruit", and when I go to check its color since it still has 50 minutes before it actually changes...

It claims that it is Soot Black. Is the game screwing with me or is it telling me what color it will be before the cutscene plays and I finally reached it?

[Anatha]

Yep the game is screwing with me -.- I hate this game. This isn't fun. This isn't fair. I'm tired of dealing with this crappy system.

[Anatha]

I've never seen it change in the window before actually changing, should I have ripped it out of the stable beforehand? Now that I've fed it all this other crap I'm at wits end
What the goddamn hell am I supposed to do with this piece of crap system in game as it is? It's feeding false information, and nothing about this is clear.

Having to wait for input isn't helping either, it's just too late, every single time.

[AttacKat]

Likely too late, but if the Companion->Appearance says Soot Black, and your bird isn't, I will report that in the IN GAME BUG section for sure.

So my chocobo has bounced around through so many colors. I tried to follow your system to get my Dalamud Red out of the Regal Purple/Dalamud Red loop and he ended up becoming Abyssal Blue instead of Soot Black. So I tried to follow a different route and now he is Marsh Green. How do I go from Marsh Green to Soot Black?

[Erendis]

According to this people got from Marsh Green to Soot Black in one O'ghomoro berries proc.
