I did that as suggested by Angelusdemonus, and went to regal purple. I have now fed one apple and got the feather proc message. Starting to wonder if I maybe need to add one darken green feather proc message.

Or lighten green. I don't know. Out of the other red shades I have got, Rolanberry has less green in it than they do.

It stayed Regal purple.

i was more meaning that everyone and their mother will have a black chocobo.....cuz black is "kewl"

I tried giving my chocobo only Doman Plumes until the new feathers message appeared once, then stop and wait for 6 hours. This is what I got:

Desert Yellow + 4 Doman Plumes = Lime Green
Lime green + 1 Doman Plume = Sylph Green (weirdly enough, Sylph Green should have more red than Lime Green)
Sylph Green + 7 Doman Plumes = Celeste Green

I read that someone else got Celeste Green with 28 Doman Plumes, while I used in total just 12 of them, maybe it has something to do with the fact that I waited for each step... or maybe it's just RNG.

Anyway, my final goal is turquoise green, do you think I should continue with the doman plumes or try something else?

Check out my method. Page 125. Post #1247.

Maybe it will help you as a reference point.

Got Blood Red :v ...
Guessing I would need to beef up the green a bit and the blue a few bits for black. Hope my fruits are ready soon ... don't wanna use up all our stock.

Ok, so I'm testing this out..
Used 2 greens on Blood Red (got the color change on the 2nd so I stopped). I'm GUESSING I am going to get Chocolate brown as that's the closest color to Blood Red that has a slightly higher green level and lower blue/ red level.

If that pans out I'm gonna try boosting blue and lowering red next.

If you end up hitting Ink Blue again try x2 Pineapples and x1 Valfruit.

will this result in soot black?

I just did this and went back to Kobold Brown.

Was going for grape purple from Midnight Blue and managed this...Rolanberry Red.



1st feed: 5 apples, 2 Berries, 3 pears = Millioncorn Yellow

2nd feed: 10 apples, 5 Berries, 6 Pears = Pumpkin Orange

3rd feed: 30 berries, 5 pears = Royal Blue

4th feed: 5 apples = Midnight Blue

5th feed: 10 apples = Rolanberry Red

I may have given her too many apples lol. At least she matches my crafters...maybe I'll keep her like this for a bit, but anyone have any tips on sliding closer to grape purple? xD

thanks for the info^^

[Esutiben]

not sure if you are reading other peoples data but i posted on my experimenting.
Abyssal + 1pear = Royal Blue
Royal Blue + 1pineapple= Storm Blue

I went back and forth between those colors twice.

Miss-read you then. What color is it you're trying for?
