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

You can continuously feed within the 6hour period, but I think maybe the message is supposed to act as like a cap, and maybe a cap for just that fruit? Not sure though, theorycrafting :x

Good to know. I'm trying to play catch up, so I'll plant some seeds tonight and see how it goes in a few days.

I'm so excited that it dyes the entire chocobo, I don't think I'll mind feeding my chocobo for a few weeks (or months if they make it scale or something).

On the topic at hand, does anyone have an actually RGB scale for the various dyes? That doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to get. If not, I will look into making one when I get off work.

I did 1x Mamook Pear, but after seeing the posts on color/feed results, I followed up and fed it 3x Xelaphol Apples, in an attempt to see a change more towards red, 4 hours and counting ><!

After being fed 2 apples

rather disappointing result after 36x of all 3 "Lightening" feeds. Oh well

Ok, so feeding the bird 2 fruits = 1 step color change, but feeding the bird 36 fruits also = 1 step color change? :/

Could be just me but i think the chocobo with the Honey yellow color can't get any more yellow than it already is.
Someone on reddit posted his chocobo after feeding 3 Apples and 3 O'Ghomoro Berries. It became Cork Brown

If what I'm thinking is correct, only the two first fruits will be usefull.
So, you would have a +Red and +Green, meaning that the basic Desert yellow will start looking a bit pink. Edit: NOPE, not pink, my bad... more... Yellow.

I guess I'll have my answer in 4 hours.

Nice find, so it would actually be a combination of 2 to 3 fruits to have a change.
Well... that opens up a lot of possible results...

Guess it'd be just too darned much to ask them (SE) to tell us for sure how to do it? *sigh*

I don't mind the grind, I just want to know HOW to do it so I don't waste my time.

Exactly! Instead of just wasting time and fruits, they should've at least told us in the patch notes how this works.

This is why I'm going to wait until either:

A: The players figure it out and there'll be a guide on how to dye your Chocobo out online.

or

B: SE throws us a bone and tells us how to to do. (highliy unlikely but a girl can hope!)

*sigh* I just want my Frobisher to be rolanberry red.. is that to much to ask?!?

Nah, I'm pretty sure the devs intend for things like this to be groupwide problem-solving exercises. And while it can be frustrating on an individual level, it is cool to see the playerbase band together, share results and figure out how it all works.
