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

[Phyllo]

Huh.. That's weird how the green went up and then down even tho there's only been one kind fruit used here

To add to this, I got Sky Blue by doing this process until Lavender blue, then using Plums until one new feather message. That said, I got 2 feather messages from Berries after getting Shale Brown but still ended up at Goobbue Grey, so unfortunately it seems that it's not so simple

Yeah, after I saw how my friends were struggling to get the color they wanted I went back from white and settled on ice blue, so far it's my favorite and don't think I'll experiment more than this already lost tons of money on this xD

(Oh and btw, no relation whatsoever but, I'll post your sketch tomorrow Aeliott, sorry for the wait :S)

Raven, That's past being maniac it's pure sadism >_<

I think the only RNG here is if the fruit will proc the change in new feathers? If someone is just going buy someone else's # of fruit to get the color you wanted. It might not use the same # on your chocobo. Instead count the number of new feather change

^ This seems to be correct.

This message is not derived from a random chance when feeding your Chocobo, but from the moment when your Plumage's RGB values have successfully migrated from one Plumage colour range to another, which (unfortunately due to RNG) is something which we can't 100% know the exact values of.

Got to it from Kobold Brown via a single plum ^.^

Got to it from Kobold Brown via a single plum ^.^

Was at Kobold Brown, fed 1 Doman Plum, got the "beginning to grow new feathers" on first try. Got Ink Blue instead. Did Pineapples on Ink Blue, same result, got "growing new feathers" on first try, waited for 6 hours. Sent back to Kobold Brown. Something's not right here.

Proof of my results via chat log.

Starting Color : Kobold Brown
Chocobo Level: 10
Stable Condition: Fair
Feed Used: x1 Doman Plum
New Feathers: 1/1 Plums
Result: Ink Blue

[8:49 p.m.]Juju devours the Doman plum.
[8:49 p.m.]Juju's plumage will change in 6 hours.
[8:49 p.m.]Juju is beginning to grow new feathers!
Result: Ink Blue

Your exact RGB values might not have been in the same range as the person above (there is a bit of RNG here). This could cause the issue that you're having with bouncing between Kobold/Ink Blue.

Yeah, I'm thinking it picks the color that is closest, on average, to the red, green, and blue values your chocobo is set to. Personally my color transitions went start -> slate grey -> Russet Brown -> Wine Red -> Dalamud Red -> Chestnut Brown -> Kobold Brown -> Soot Black.

I've gone from Ink Blue + 1 Pineapple = Kobold Brown
Kobold Brown + 2 Plums (msg on 2nd plum) = Deepwod Green
I'm now trying Deepwood Green + Valfruit = ??? (hopefully black)

There's been 3 confirmed Soot Blacks on here so far. 2 from Kobold Brown, 1 was with 1 plum, the other 2 plums. The 3rd was Deepwood Green with 1 Valfruit. I'm HOPING that my bird's RGB levels aren't at a certain point where I'm 'stuck' and can't get to Black because my numbers are just at a point where it can't get to black without a major overhaul or restart.

The other possibility is perhaps there's some RNG involved on which color you're moving to when getting the New Feather's msg. Perhaps something like 'Kobold Brown + Plum = 20% Black or 80% Deepwood Green'. I'm gonna see where this Deepwood Green + Valfruit takes me. If it IS RNG then I'll either end up Soot Black or back to Ink Blue.

guess i got lucky, went from hunter green to soot black by feeding 3 apples, 2 berries while trying to hit deepwood green omw to black
