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

[Crankysorc]

Were the two on which you got the message the final two?

Yep.


I have yet to see anyone post any logs showing that they fed the same food in a session and it skipped the feather message. I think it's RNG to get the chocobo to eat enough to actually be affected by feeding.

I saw one person post a log that had berries or something stop giving them the proc, and I suspect they found a color cap.

Edit:
@Amelia
Is what you've posted listing only the ones that got feather procs?

[Rorichan]

Think it's like this.

Plum -R +G +B,
Apple +R -G -B
Valfruit +R -G +B
Pear -R +G -B
Pineapple +R +G -B
Berries -R -G +B

Edit: Wait, I got what you were trying to say. So, how did you apply this to your chocobo? Did you get the 'feathers' message? Details please?

You've completely lost me on that.. how about in English for us dummies? :P

Basically it's saying:

Plum - Lightens red hues but at the same time increases green and blue hues.
Apple - Deepens red hues but at the same time lessens green and blue hues.
Valfruit - Lightens green hues but at the same time increases red and blue hues.
Pear - Deepens green hues but at the same time lessens red and blue hues.
Pineapple - Lightens blue hues but at the same time increases red and green hues.
Berries - Deepens blue hues but at the same time lessens red and green hues.

If you click the link you'll get the color chart. I had given my chocobo all 3 fruits to start off with in an attempt to get white and this led to bone white which made it look like it had cancer. It also happened to still be a bit heavy on the yellow side. Then the next time i gave it more pineapple based solely on speculation and this turned it back to a deeper yellow, cream yellow. So in order for it to turn a deeper yellow and not just max out at white it means that green and red sliders had to increase while the blue slider decreased. To cancel that out I gave him a rotation of valfruit>plum>valfruit>plum 10 of each and I ended up with white.

I didn't want to trade him all one color then all the next because if i were to hit a color cap and then trade the other fruit it would skew the slider depending on the last fruit I fed it.

Does anyone know how to get a darker shade of blue (mine's peacock) to a lighter shade? (Something like sky blue).
The only thing that lightens blue hue i know would be pineapple and apple, but i really wouldn't want it to turn out to something that isn't blue anymore.
Fruits are expensive D:

Okay, that makes sense, thank you both!

If it helps, i had my chocobo as Coral Pink, then fed it doman plums (lighten red fruit) until i saw a single growing new feathers message, and got Rose Pink. Still pink, but a lighter shade. So if the same logic would apply to yours, i'd say use the Pineapple (lightens blue) to get the color your looking for.

I'm pretty sure that Sky Blue is max cyan. Feed it Doman Plums.

[KallistoVayne]

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.

OK... after feed the 11 plums he's now Raptor Blue. Need to go back down the chart to a darker blue so adding a few berries... 6 more hours....

Introduction:

Hey guys, so this post will cover the progress of my Chocobo, Lanister (No, it is no relation to GoT or anything in any way, name was picked based purely on how it sounded with my own name.

My post will be broken down into stages. The main header for each section will be "Colouring #" with sub headers of "Feed #:" which will detail the food given, the amount of each, and the order in which it was given. I will also give some details as to my choice as why I selected certain foods and why I went with the order, this may vary as I may not do it at all. The next subheader will be "Update #:" which will show the results of feeding stated in the subheader it proceeds. This will usually include a screenshot of the companion menu showing the colour and the supplied image and just a small amount of text stating the colour. Bear in mind, these images are hosted on my personal imgur account and may be mistakenly removed at some point, hence the accompanying text.


Aims:
My aims for my chocobo is to progress through to colouring him to Soot Black.



Resources:

There are two main documents out there which I am using for my progress. The primary document I am using, purely for the RGB numbers of a specific colour is this spreadsheet.
[The owner of this document has not left details oh his/her character.]

My secondary resource is also linked in the primary document and can be found here.

Experimentation:

Colouring 1

Feed 1:

Fed my chocobo today from scratch. Went red>green>blue>repeat with the darkening feeds.
Fed 16 17* of each. Will come back with results and screenshot to this post when I have them.

*I fed one extra of each because I logged out and back in and wanted to see how long was left before the chocobo was going to change.

Hoping to go for black.


UPDATE 1:

I got a lovely Halatali Yellow



Colouring 2

Feed 2:

Next feed is 10,8,1 of the RGB darkening feeds respectively.

I took the difference of the values of this colour and soot black and took a ratio of feeds. The difference was [122, 90, 12] so dividing each by 12 gave me the 10, 8, 1 of the foods.

UPDATE 2:

Chocobo has now progressed to Acorn Brown

Going by my last attempt, the foods didn't change the values proportionally but are getting me closer now with a difference of [98, 46, -7].

Looking at data input on this spreadsheet, someone also got Halatali Yellow by feeding 10 of each snack. Perhaps it's not entirely on the amount of snacks, but the ratio to which snacks are fed. This is purely speculation, I would assume there is a minimum number of snacks to be fed to determine the colour but considering someone fed 10 of each compared to my 17 of each, there's a significant difference.

Colouring 3

Feed 3:

Anyway, here's my next feed:

I did go for a 2:1 ratio on the red:green darkening respectively considering the difference for red:green from the soot black is 98, 46 respectively. Although, the Blue is -7 from soot black, I may need to feed a blue lightening one but will see how this turns out.

Results will be back in less than one hour.

UPDATE 3:

Chocobo has progressed to Blood Red

This is a lighter shade of red than the previous colour which is odd considering I feed only darkening feed. Blue has risen slightly, which is good as it is closer to soot black. Green has gone down slightly.

Colouring 4

Feed 4:

Currently out of darkening feed right now so progress on colouring is coming to a halt. I am hoping I am not too far off now. Will continue to update when I get more food.
