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

[Nyalia]

Ok so I got my chocobo to Sky Blue and want opinions on what to feed for Ice blue from here. Thanks in advance.

You just need to get your Red back up - you lowered it too much. I'm thinking you focused on plums? Well, I would try Pineapple and Valfruit at a 2:1 ratio until you get the new feathers message.

Like people before have said on advice, it is not exact science, and advice. Can't guarantee results, but I've been helping friends/FC people pretty successfully so far.

Any advice for someone who's trying to get from Royal Blue [34][42][96] to Grape [52][36][54]? =)

I got Dalamud Red in 3 fases:

Desert Yellow to Coral Pink:
Just used Apples and Berries till i had the Feather message on both

From Coral Pink to Blood Red:
Used Apples and Valfruit till i had the Feather message on both again

From Blood Red to Dalamud Red:
Only used Berries till the Feather message popped again

Trying to get from lavendar purple to Currant purple... any advice would be greatly appreciated. ^^

I don't see a Lavender Purple... do you mean Lavender Blue? If so, all of your colors are way higher than you want them, especially the blue. Drop them with a fair number of Apples, Berries, and Pears. I play things cautiously, so I'd try something like 7 Apples, 7 Pears, and 4 Berries (assuming you get a message), and then tweaking it once you see the result. When all the values are lower, it'll be easier to give advice. Right now, you need a fairly big change all three colors (-80 red, -80 green, -120 blue).

Hey, guys, is this useful? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

Thanks, Loony! I'm playing around with this now to figure some things out. Very helpful!

I dunno if anyone's posted one of these here yet, but I've found it helpful. :3

Thanks for this! Been playing around with this to figure some things out! Much appreciated!

So, you need R++, G+, and B---. Try Apple + Pear + Pineapple in a 3:2:1 ratio until you get the message, then see where you are? That should get you in the direction you want. Maybe do 3:2:1, then if you get a (new feathers) message on the 6th feed (ignore any from feeds 1-5), stop and see what you get. Otherwise, do a few more in roughly those proportions until you do get the message.

The problem will be getting from that to black.

currently attempting your original plan. will post back around 5pm Central time with results

edit: i did give a kobold brown choco a single O'ghomoro berry in one of my initial experiments to get out of the loop and still got ink blue

KK! Let me know how it goes and sorry if I steered you down the wrong path! >___< Just trying different things to figure out how this works. I decided to go from Wine Red and use x1 Plum (remove's Red), to see where that lands me. If I hit Kobold Brown again, I think I might decide between the 2 plum strategy I haven't seen tested yet, or push back to Deepwood Green by using x1 Valfruit & maybe x1 or x2 Apples. And from there, use the single Valfruit to get to Soot Black like others have reported to work.

If I end up anywhere else, then I have no idea then what to do but double back.

Anyone have any guidance for hitting Deepwood green from Nophica Green?

Should I be feeding 1 color at a time or alternating? o.O;
