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

[Renik]

I want an ink blue chocobo. I had assumed "deepen" meant to decrease the colour values. So in order to get ink blue you had to decrease red and green to 0.

i think you'll need to lighten red then, but we are still trying to figure out, if after feeding a red deepen you have no result i assume you'll have to lighten it to reduce red value.

Theorycrafting... fun.

I tried feeding it a "deepen blue" fruit. This time I got a "your chocobo's plumage will change in 6 hours" message. I do not believe I received that message before maintenance with the apple.

Almost 7 hours ago I fed my chocobo a xelphatol apple (deepen red) and there was absolutely no change to this point. Maybe you have to feed several of the food at a time?

I can confirm that my chocobo also had no change after 1 apple feeding. I'm doing one more just to make sure the changes aren't crazy minimal. Getting 36 from 1 yield has me worried that it will take many feedings to get any sort of change.

I definitely got the message before maintenance, also.

Damn if this true that means our Chocobo starts off at both red and green are at max (255) and blue is at 0.

I want a purple chocobo that means I have to do the following: Green 0, Red 102 and Blue 153.

It's SE style. I bet we have to feed 765 fruits and wait 6h each time to get a black chocobo.

Do we really need hundreds of different color intensities for our chocobos?

Fed my chocobo 36x of all 3 "Lightening" feeds so gonna see how it turns out in a while, about 3-4 hours.

You sir are awesome. hope fully it really isn't really one fruit every 6 hours. I hope it is feed as much as you want the effect wont happen after 6 hours.

That means you chocobo should be one of the following colors. Black or hovering around any of the greens

I just fed my chocobo 5 of each of the 'lightening' hues in an effort to push it towards a 'white' path. An interesting thing to note: Every time you feed the chocobo, the time of the change is actually scaled to the first feeding. This hopefully means the effects can stack!

It tells you it will still change? Someone else who did that said there will be no more change.
