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

[Vasala]

This time I fed 6 berries and 2 pears and got the feather changing message each time with the result being Aldgoat Brown. So the total over all is up to 16 berries, 10 pineapples, and 2 pears with messages for 11 berries, 2 pineapples, and 2 pears. This time I added 10 plums to move away from red so we will see in 6 hours if I have a more blue / green mix.

So after two feeding sessions im more confused then anything. First I fed 8 Mamook Pears, resulting in a single feather message. The result ended up as Cream Yellow, which is a lighter color then Desert Yellow. Seemingly opposite of what the pears should do.

Second go around I fed it 12 more Mamook Pears, with only a single feather message. This resulted in Lime Green, which is pulling all the values down below what they were to begin with. This is what I thought the pears would do initially.

For the sake of science i'm going to keep repeatedly feeding Mamook Pears till I stop getting messages/no color changes from a single fruit type to see if that can be ruled out. But my results so far make very little sense, considering the 'Darkens Green' fruit resulted in both a lighter and darker shade in two seperate sessions.

Following my theory if you only get the message "plumage will change" it would modify the RGB values but w/o being enough to change to another color, yes it would have effect, the choco would have a different value from the initial one, but it would not change the color because the system would round it to the closer one, the initial value before the feeding.

I see... hmm. So we need 2 or more people to feed the same number of the same fruit, count messages, and see if they get the same number of messages / same results?

Abyssal Blue: http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen...aldgoat_brown/

My first session was: 3 berries, 1 pear, 1 apple to get Aldgoat Brown
Second session: 20 berries, 10 pears, 8 apples to get Abyssal Blue
My current session I believe will yield me Soot Black, time to wait another 6 hours.

I wanted Abyssal Blue so I fed these totals but all in one feeding and got Plum Purple.
Have added 11 Plums to increase Cyan and see where that gets me.

Everyone needs to stop using this... it doesn't give the same results... a new spreadsheet needs to be created with the correct data.
(gets frustrated that people keep giving out bad info)

He asked I gave. Even though there have been some differences in results it could still get him to the colour he wants or at least close to it. At this point it's better than nothing for some of us.

It would help to have them do it with different stable conditions and starting from the same color ( value), after feeding a han lemon.

Theories are made to be broken so i hope someone can destroy mine, it would be a big step.

That chart is definitely not to be believed to some extent.

I've currently colored my chocobo to Lavender Purple after two sessions:

Session #1

* Fed Bird 10 O'Ghomoro Berries and received the "starts to grow new feathers" message 7 times.
* This session gave me a Shale Brown Chocobo.

Session #2

* Fed Bird 10 more O'Ghomoro Berries and received the "starts to grow new feathers" message 10 times.
* This session gave me a Lavender Purple (Blue) Chocobo.







There's no reason for the the two people who reported getting Raptor Blue and Othard Blue from 21 O'Ghomoro Berries only to lie. So some form of RNG is definitely involved. It's interesting to note that three people who reported in after 12 and 11 O'Ghomoro Berry feeds got Goobbue Grey, Gobbiebag Brown and Lilac Purple respectively. If you include the Shale Brown from my first session it would seem that just feeding a couple of Berries alone brings the color down the light grey/brown scale, if there is one.

yea a new thread should probably be started for the experiment

Oh if i'm right the number of messages doesn't matter if you keep feeding the same fruit, because the system would show it again with every feed, so we can't know when a feed of the same fruit is getting the chocobo to a new tier of color after the first message.

It has already been posted that stable condition probably doesn't have an effect. Someone posted that a few from the same FC got different results with the same feedings. Of course, I need to go FIND that post... XDDDD

How so? I didn't get a message with every apple I fed my bird. I got:
1. plumage message
2. nothing
3. feathers & plumage
4. feathers & plumage

Unless you mean after the first feathers message? Hmm. I'd just like to figure out the fewest number of fruit needed to turn the bird a certain color. Especially while fruit prices are so high...
