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

I somehow managed to feed ~ 12 foods and get a 6-hour countdown that did nothing. Awesome gameplay.

Thats because you didnt read the messages given out by the system or you did the exact feeding to go forward 3 steps and back 3 steps, back to starting point

I used lightening foods for each color. If it took me in reverse, again I'll say: awesome gameplay. These 6-hour, trial-by-fire game mechanics aren't fun at all.

How many new feather messages? On which fruits? Stable condition?

How many new feather messages? On which fruits? Stable condition?

Stable condition was good, Chocobo was Honey Yellow before feeding, I fed it more lightening foods (some of each; pineapplles, valfruit, doman plums) and received a 6-hour countdown to absolutely nothing. It's a shame because aside from the red value, there should be plenty of room to move toward 255 green and 255 blue from that color.

I feel that this gameplay (namely the item text for the foods and the chat/stable countdown message) is misleading.

How many times did you get a message regarding the chocobo growing new feathers? We've already had reason to believe that fruit that do not give the new feathers message don't result in anything at all.

The message I got was "Your chocobo's plumage will change in 6 hours"--which it didn't. This line of text is an outright lie. (And again, this was followed by a 6 hour countdown to nothing within the stable interface.)

I appreciate your desire to help me, but I don't need help. I just posted info so as to make people aware that this can be a complete waste of their time and resources, if they don't proceed carefully.

if you don't see the message saying your chocobo is growing new feathers then your chocobo will not change colors.

1st feed; starting point Desert Yellow
18 berries (feathers message after first 4 then on every feed afterward)
6 pears

Result: Seafog Blue 93,122,154



2nd Feed; starting point Seafog Blue
24 apples (new feathers message after 5 feeds)
11 pears
5 berries

Result: Mesa Red 118,51,4



3rd Feed; Starting point Mesa Red
16 berries (new feathers message on all berries)
6 pears
3 apples

Result: Midnight Blue 21,20,49



Total fed to date WITH new feathers:
35 berries
23 pears
27 apples

My goal from here is Soot Black 37,35,30 .. with Midnight Blue being SO close I am inclined to use one pear and one apple to nudge the red and green up while dropping the blue value. Any thoughts before i go through with it?
