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

[Zenaku]

Not too big and a good start depending where you're coming from. Try it out, and post result to see accuracy etc, so far it's been great help. Got me out of the loop I was stuck in and to the right color right before getting the wrong one even, as I adjusted 40 minutes before the end of feed cycle.

Rhotano Blue ---> Soot black i was in Woad blue hoping this feed would get me closer. I think it may get me to midnight blue or loam brown due to that room for error but that very close to the color i want.

Thank you for the help i'll post in 6hours

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!

I freaking give up, screw this game.. I was midnight blue followed the colour simulator and fed him 3 pineapples 1 apple and 1 pear and that shouldve gotten me Soot black... Somehow I ended up in Grape Purple W T F?

According to values and scale of color used, you're right, it should be soot black, but as I said, there is a range and the color scale may be different, I for one use http://www.superslothdesign.com/chocobo/

It's a tough adjustment from grape, I was on a loop with it for a long time, but try to go slowly now. Better to do little adjustments. 3 pears and 1 berry should land you in soot black, but just in case, do one of each and see if currant purple, or 2 pears for loam brown. In either case, that would be closer and if you land in those, you know what to add next.

Again, I don't recommend the big changes now.

I will they the 3 pears 1 berry and see where I end up... Leave it to SE to make a system so retarded that no amount of logic can seem to decipher

Got my Marsh Green chocobo finally after so much gil and so much waiting T_T

Bounced around between so many greens and up into yellows at one point, had to eventually go one color change at a time using the 3xDeepening technique to lower all of the values at the same time.

Thank you so much for the info! I was able to obtain Soot Black feeding it the 3 pears and 1 berry from Grape Purple. Couldn't be happier and I think it is safe to say F**K THIS SYSTEM!! I am extremely grateful to all the people helping out in this thread and a very special thanks to the people making the simulators and the theorycrafting behind it all
