Ugh, I'd been trying to keep up with this thread, but seems there's another 70 pages or so since I last checked <_> So sorry if this has been brought up.

Much earlier in the thread I saw someone who got snow white and gave their formula (how many feathers messages they got). Someone else tried it and it worked for them too, 1 or 2 others I believe tried it and ended up with bone white, said they fed one more plum and it got them to snow white.


(I did take screenshots of all the fed messages but Im at work and dont have access to them so I'll try to remember the order)
1st feed

At first I fed it maybe 4 or 5 pineapples, and I got one or two feathers messages --- this gave me honey yellow.

After this I grew a bunch of doman plums and valfruit.

2nd feed

I gave it plums (I think they triggered every time in this phase) til I got 6 messages, then 10 valfruit messages, then 1 or 2 more plums. This should have matched the formula earlier for snow white, maybe going 1 plum over, and I ended up with bone white.

3rd feed

I couldn't remember whether it was plums or valfruits at the time someone said they had to give an extra of, so I gave more until it got a message for each. I tried giving it another pineapple, but it didnt give any messages. Afterwards it was still bonewhite.

4th feed

Tried to get ANOTHER message each, also tried feeding 5 more pineapples, but the pines still weren't giving any messages. I dont know if its capped or something, I usually get it each time with the other fruits.

STILL bone white.

5th feed

I'm starting to lose my mind now, Im also running out of the plums and vals I grew (I'm too broke to buy more, and too impatient to grow more). I fed it like 4 or 5 messages of plums this morning out of desperation, havent given it anything else. If he's not snow white by the time I get home tonight, I'm going to cry.

Sooo...on the chance he doesnt change colour, anyone know what I have to do from bone white to get to snow white, that I havent done already? Or what I've been doing wrong?

You've been adding too many things. 3 plums from bone white land you on snow white (3 plums, no matter 3 procs, as long as third procs, you got it), valfruits added to the mix then pineapples keep you on a loop of upping all but cycling back to same. According to calculator, you should have it now.

On the plus side, if you keep adding plums, no matter what, you could only go further into snow white (true white actually, but it doesn't exist in the game). Stick to plums if it fails, but let us know results so we keep checking this tool Rythea created.

Okay, thats what I was starting to think. In that case since I fed only plums this morning it should hopefully, finally, be snow white tonight.

Trying to get Storm Blue from Lavendar Purple. My boyfriend wants his to be Soot Black, but hasn't started anything with it yet, so he's still at the starting color. Tried to use the calculator that's been posted here, but am getting confused. Help!
