I'm sorry to say so but you've just wasted 35 out of those 36 fruits. Only first one will apply the colour change, next could be used (and registered) after 6 hours. But indeed I applause to your courage!

Also - you can see my today's harvesting results of chocobo colouring food at The Big Gardening thread

Okay so Desert Yellow (default chocobo colour) appears to be 255 R 255 G 50ish B. You cannot deepen R or G any further and you can only lighten them. I tried feeding fruit in bulk to the chocobo and got results for everything but deepening those two values. It now tells me my chocobo is beginning to grow new feathers. So, within 6 hours, you can bulk feed a colour combination you desire I believe.

Now the question is if those are stacking or overwriting each other (e.g. only the last one fed will affect the actual colour change)? While we all hope for former I'm still affraid it's the latter ... At least with the current yield and fast grow it's fairly inexpensive to test it.

Also, why do people keep saying that prices on these should drop or whatever, aren't both the seeds and the fruits untradeable? (Going by XIVDB).

XIVDB is wrong (as in many other times) - I'm still amazed how people rely on unofficial sources / DBs while we have perfectly valid official DB at Lodestone ... (while other unofficial DBs might have more advanced search / comparefunctions they are often outdated / incorrect).

although it seems obvious... we don't know for sure. Thank You zander for doing what i would have been itching to do lol. except the mental image of shoving 36 fruits down your chocos face hole screaming "WHY WON"T YOU CHANGE" is making me giggle.

edit: and to everyone saying this is to complicated... lol.... just smh lol.

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

1h 18 mins left, getting the screenshots ready to go. this is like waitin for a new patch, cant wait for it!

if there is 0 change in the appearance and name then that would mean each fruit gives +/- 5 points(explains the large yields). and that color names have thresholds of probably +/- 10-15.

if the stacking method works we will see results soon, if it don't i would say no more than 16 hours we will see different colors / color names popping up.

Can we feed the fruits also to other players chocobos?
