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

Ok so from regal purple ( 103 55 87) I did

5 pears
1 berry
5x all lighteners
1 Berry

In that order, all proc'd new feather. Using the +/- 5 That should put me right at 43 45 38 (soot range)


From Raisin Brown ( 71 55 23 ) I did

2 Pear
2 Berry
2 Berry
2 Berry
1 Pineapple

Which would put me right at 36 40 38.


Will report back in 4 hours. Im running this on 2 characters and aiming for dark blue or soot black

This is the RGB scale im going off of. If this takes me to the colors near or as expected only time will tell

Really doesn't matter if you get all proc or just 1, it will still put you in the range anyway, so you really need just one. Did the same thing as you and got one proc only.

Chart is broken. If you're at rolanberry red, giving berries won't put you at midnight blue, but regal purple.

Hey Guys, Working on dying my Chocobo quickly before the free login period ends, so I tried a combination of a few recipies but they failed rather spectacularly. I decided to try and correct from that point with math from this thread. The suggestions seem to be following a sort of +-5 for per fruits.

I ended up making a bit of a simulator spreadsheet that follows that rule with some adjustable parameters. Testing it out on some combinations seems to have worked, others it seems not to, but I figured I'd share if if anyone wants to make a copy and improve on it.

- Add in your fruits and quantities
- Change the feed weight from +/- 5 to anything else
- Switch between both sets of colour tables found here
- It keeps a running total of your current colour, the 'distance' to your target colour, and tries to makes a simplistic guess as to the current colour

And my simulator worked, with no adjustment! For me at least.

Step 1 Gloom Purple (from the chart):
Berry x3 +Feathers (only 1)
Berry x1 +Feathers
Valfruit x1 +Feathers
Berry x1 +Feathers
Berry x1 +Feathers

Step 2 (without waiting, from Vorfield above) Gloom -> Wine
Apple x7 +Feathers (x7)
Pear x2 +Feathers (x2)

And it failed, miserably, Coral Pink Chocobo. I then built the simulator above, and keyed in some tests until it guessed I was at wine red:

Step 3: Simulator Fruit Count (not feathers, didnt reset it either)
pear x15
berry x19
apple x5

pear x5
berry x5
apple x10

SUCCESS, in one, massive correction attempt (surprised me too):

Your calculator looks a little awkward. I made one too although I haven't uploaded it to google docs just yet because I am not quite sure when I want to release it.

I keep one tab for colour patterns, as you can see here:



In another tab, I can then determine the food needed:



Anything within a blue cell can be changed. The multiplyer is in just incase I find a particular pattern of fruit and want to adjust it quickly by dividing or multiplying. There are equations for each of the RGB adjustment cells which add up the weightings of each fruit by the number of each particular fruit. Like yourself, I used the MIN and MAX too to stop overshooting.

Been stuck on a loop from midnight blue to blood red trying to get ink blue for days now. Your chart confirms what I thought, depending on +/- 5 or 8 I will overshoot or land properly. I'll know in 30 minutes and if not, check and go to sleep, but it seems like the perfect tool so far. Either way, according to result I'll be able to tell if it's in fact 5 or 8 variance and correct accurately from there. Tank you so much!

Edit: just checked on it and it got the right color. I had the the math and it said 1 pear but the calclator said two. Added the second one and it matched, which also matches the color flow chart options. Great work!

default color > salmon pink > coral pink > Colibri pink

went from coral pink to Colibri Pink O'Ghomoro Berries x5, Valfruit x5, Doman Plum x5

From Ice Blue, 1 Xel Apple -> Sylph-Puke Green

God, this is depressing. Where are you, Lotus Pink?

[ruinn]

[AlexisRose]
