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

[Rustyhagun]

Going to confer my notes.

As everyone has said. Royal Blue has a berry cap. And once the chocobo hits that cap, you want to start feeding it apples and pears to get it darker.

I can attest that having the color Royal Blue will indeed put the Chocobo at Midnight Blue if you feed him 6 pear 5 apple 1 berry, in any order. (Stable was in good condition.)

Royal Blue --> 6pear, 5 apple 1 berry = Midnight blue.

Going to ride him a bit like this and get some quests done.

Then I'm going to see if...

Midnight Blue --> 2 pineapples = Soot Black.

..as someone previously mentioned they got results for.

last night i went from Ink Blue to Deepwood green with one Pineapple(Proc).

Fed one Valruit(Proc) to get Ink Blue Again ^_^;;

Fed one pineapple(Proc). Will have a result Before the maintenance, in time for one more feed during maintenance if needed.

I'm expecting Soot Black, or a lighter green possibly. (not as bad as people think being pushed out of the loop gives you a better shot at landing soot without jumping over it.)
But hey, here's to soot black perhaps? ^_^; see you all in 6 hours.

From my Actual experience I can tell you this. If you feed him 2 pineapples from midnight blue and both of them get the growing feathers thing you will prob end up in abyssal blue like I did.

So be careful just in case

I got it today, using these steps (starting from default color):
10 Apples
10 Pears
10 Berries [wait 6 hours] = Halatali Yellow

Then from Halatali Yellow, I fed about 10 Berries, but I was very cautious and stopped after each Feather Growth message to check the progress. I went through Qiqirn Brown and Bark Brown before I ended up with Mole Brown. I didn't count all the growth messages though, sorry.
It's slower to wait for each growth stage to finish, but I figured that since I only needed to use Berries after Halatali Yellow, it would be safer to go step-by-step with less chance of getting a random overshoot to a darker brown. If you do end up overshooting, use Pineapples to backtrack.

I'll remember it for if I ever need to do it again x3
You should put it on the here as well for others to know: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...lview?sle=true

What did you feed from Deepwood Green to get Black?

i fed 1 apple, 2pear,1 berry then 1 apple

[GigaGaia]

Seriously, I was marsh green, fed it one berry (like some people suggested), it went to Currant purple. Fed it 1 pineapple, 1 apple, 2 pear, 1 berry and 1 apple (it worked for a few people to get soot black from currant purple). Now it's back to Marsh green again.

Anyone got a suggestion to push it to soot black?

1 berry 1 apple should do the trick.

I try to get apple green from lotus pink to ensure my theory & formula
Here is Feeding Method : Total Fruits : 27 Pear 18 Apple 13 Berry
Feeding Order : 8 Pear -> 5 Berry -> 5 Apple -> 5 Berry -> 9 Pear -> 10 Apple -> 3 Berry -> 3 Apple -> 10 Pear | feather proc message pop at 7th pear and everyfruits after this til empty.
The result i've got is Lime Green.this is interesting let's see ...
Result | Lime Green. : 166 171 77
Goal | Apple Green : 149 174 92
as you can see,the number of RESULT pretty close to GOAL but because its one big FEED so the number might be a bit off due to RNG of each comsumed fruit.Personally i'm not suggest anyone to do one big feed in any circumstances unless their theory's pretty solid.
PS. This is my own experiment to try on one big feed session and result is quite satisfy.and i want to say,you can skip a lot of color phase to get to the color you want IF you know what you're doing.
