And ive got Grape Purple, /ffs!

Can some1 explain how from Midnight BLue: 31/31/63 ive arrived to Grape 63/47/63 according to the last Excel...or Grape Purple 52/36/54 normal Excel with 3 pineapples?

Back to the drawing board. What you think should get me close to Soot Black?

Feed him a pear til proc and that will give you currant purple then you can follow...

you are in luck (maybe)! i just went from currant purple to soot black tonight using the following combination. i can't guarantee that it will work since there is some RNG but it's worth a shot!.

followed this information: Pineapple (fed these until I saw the "growing new feathers message), 1 Apple, 1 Pear and then 1 Pear, 1 Berry and 1 Apple all in the same sitting. I got the "growing new feathers" message for each fruit after getting it the first time from the pineapple.

because he was able to get from currant to soot.

yet the last part was only luck, as he can't confirm that the pears, apples and berries he gave after getting the pineapple message were useful or not

Here is mine, it's plum purple. before it was coral pink but I think I've fed it like 10 O'Ghomoro berries to get to this color, I want to go darker, but as I understand I need to lighten all the colors to get to like grape purple?

--Just Fed him 3 Apples and 2 Berries 6 hours agoago. The new color now is deepwood green--

What would be the next step to get him to soot black? I heard 1 Valefruit but I have tried that before and got me to hunter Green. Any advice?

Old Color: Hunter Green R34 G68 B38

Fed 3 Apples and 2 berries VVVVVVV

New Color: Deepwood Green R25 G36 B28

Desired Color: Soot Black R37 G35 B30

This is based on testing the revised RGB posted by "AttacKat": http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post2383813


Current Colour: Deepwood Green
31R 47G 39B


Soot Black:
47R 47G 39B

You could try:

x2 Valfruit
x1 Pineapple


This should put your end values roughly around 51R 47G 39B (assuming +/- 5 average integer) which is right around the revised RGB for Soot Black (might still need a bit more tweaking); RNG is still a factor so mileage may vary.

So far I have fed 3 Valfruit and 3 pineaples and I got the grow new feather message... Hopefully this changes anything... Maybe feed an apple just incase?

Any suggestions on how to get from Cactuar Green to Nophica Green?

Here's my wine red choco. For the life of me I can't remember how many fruits I used though, but it was a mix of the 3 darkening ones.

I'm currently sitting at Russet Brown and looking to get to Soot Black. Colors have been Standard > Blood Red > Russet Brown.
