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

[Ravenguard]

So, from charcoal gray I am trying to get soot black. Last night I fed my chocobo 1 Mamook Pear (got the message), 1 Xelphatol Apple (got the message), and 2 O'Ghomoro Berries (no message for either). I ran out of O'Ghomoro Berries. This morning, there was no change. So I fed him 2 O'Ghomoro Berries (got the message), 1 Mamook Pear (got the message), and 2 Xelphatol Apples (got the message). He turned Nophica Green... I then fed him 1 apple (got message) and one berry (got message). Now he turned Shadow Blue!

I think I might just keep this color.

Ok, bear with me on this one, but I might have an idea. Lets lay the groundwork out on this one:

Shadow Blue
49R 49G 64B

Soot Black
37R 35G 30B

Now this is where a bit of speculation comes in: I believe that each fruit will increase or decrease a value by a range of +/-3 to +/-6. To try to round out the RNG, I am going to use an average of +/-5 for each fruit. Going on that assumption, here is what I recommend (and please don't hate me if this isn't 100%):

x2 Cieldalaes Pineapple
x4 Xelphatol Apple
x4 O'ghomoro Berry
x4 Mamook Pear

What the pineapple will do is attempt to lower your BLUE values below that of your GREEN and RED. After that, by feeding him an equal amount of Apples, Berries, and Pears, you will lower all three color values evenly, and hopefully drop them into the range of Soot Black.

As I stated above, I believe there is a slight RNG in how many points will be added or subtracted to each value when feeding any fruit, although theoretically this should place you around your desired plumage color.

Issue here is, you don't know the current values of the chocobo. The shadows could only be rounded off to give Shadow Blue right now so it would all have to be a rough guesstimate right now. Still trying to figure mine out :/

You're right, I don't know the current values, which is why it gets harder to do minor changes in color variance when people are so close to their desired color.
I mainly go off the assumption that to reach certain colors you need to fall in a "color range" (I.e. 30-40R, 30-40G, 25-35B for Soot Black), and then (as you read above) I reduce what I believe are some RNG by offering a flat integer as an "average".

I try to preface every post saying that I am not 100% and this is only my assumptions based on correlating everyone's past data, as well as trials of my own.

my choco is currently storm blue at the moment and before that was void blue. i'm trying to get soot black. got a guess on something i should try?

Here is what I am going to do for mine:



The influencing factor being the range between 3 to 6 and can be adjusted accordingly.
The top row of matrices is a total of the previously performed feeds.
The bottom row of matrices is the steps needed to get to the desired one.
I can adjust the number of Darkening and Lightening feeds in the bottom row of matrices until I get a "Total Adjustment" that closely matches the difference of the "Desired Colour" - "Current Colour".

I would like to tweak it so it can do this automatically but too busy lately to really look into something like that. Plus, it would probably be overkill XD

EDIT:

Realising I forgot to change the current colour on the bottom row to the new colour from the top so it will adjust the feeding to the following:



EDIT: I am after reaching my daily post limit. Thanks SE! Getting into a good discussion here.

Definite kudos. Downright awesome.
That's pretty much everything I was doing to try to offer advice others in the thread.

Awesome, hope I am getting the hang of this now. Replying here because, well...daily limit >.>

I am putting all of my information into a single thread which I can't even bump now even though I added that huge chunk to Feed 4 over here.

Could anyone help me out here? Looking to get to either Gloom Purple or Lavender Purple. Right now I have a bunch of Berries(68) Apples(48) and Valfruit(36) to work with. I also have 1 Han Lemon so I can start from Scratch.

Anyone know what my best bet to hit Gloom/Lavender Purple would be?

Using this method here is what I got for lavendar:



Wha you need to concern yourself with is the very bottom left. While I didn't divide in the nubmer of foods you can simplify it down to:

4 Red lightening
12 Blue Darkening fruits.

Hoping this works if you decide to go with it.

This confuses the crap out of me...lol

[Ellisif]

From Rolanberry to Abyssal was 10 berries and 4 pear, only the last 3 of each gave the feather message. So, I'll assume it's 3 berry and 3 pear that actually took
Finally out of the red loop, and think I'm closer to the Currant purple I want.



This color is kind of cool though

just fed 3 apple and 1 pear only the last apple gave message and the pear gave message. See what happens in 6 hours.

I'm stuck. I'm at Salmon Pink but it doesn't seem to want to change any further than that. Not getting any more messages when i feed plums, pineapples, or valfruits either.

lime green
7 pear
2 plum
2 o'ghmo
