Chocobo dyeing R&D Thread - Post your results here!

I've stopped getting messages when I feed my chocobo. It says "<Chocobo> devours the <fruit>" and that's it.

If you feed it 1 of every fruit randomly there is a chance you are simply going around in circles and gaining nothing.

If you like - I happen to have a little data about getting him Regal Purple from Default

Desert yellow
3 apple = millicorn yellow
8 apple = pumpkin orange
3 berry = sunset orange
6 berry = blood red
5 berry = regal purple

Every step here gave only 1 'new feathers' message - so the number of fruit needed might vary a little.
If you wanted to just use a lemon - there is that.

Otherwise you could try here http://ffxivchocobo.com/

Thank you, I have been following a guide, and never fed my chocobo outside the guide. The guide I'm following said to feed him 17 berries, 15 apples, and 18 valfruit. So far over the span of a few days I had fed him 11 berries, 4 apples, and that was all. I got Coral Pink. That day I tried to feed him more apples. The first one gave me the plumage message, the next 3 gave me no message so I stopped. I didn't feed him again until the next day.) I fed him 1 berry and got the plumage message, the next one I got no message. So I decided to try valfruit since it's a different color. I fed him 3 fruit and got no message each time. Maybe it is a bug.

If it starts working again I will try your guide instead, though.
