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

OK i am at midnight blue atm, and from the picture there are 3 lines to Kobold brown, however my end goal is Soot Black. Does that mean I need To feed Apples, Pears and Berries until I get 1 message form each to get to Kobold brown and then 1 plum to Soot Black?

Others used 2 pineapple at midnight blue and went to soot black directly, so I am gonna try that (technically, using 2 pineapple on midnight blue put you directly into soot black RGB)

2 pineapple messages or 2 pineaples in general?

So, it's not use to count proc messages if you don't stop feeding and wait each time you get one. A valid data gathering would be :
- fed 5 apples until proc
- waited 6 hours got color X
- fed X apples until proc
- waited 6 hours and got color Y

But noone would be that patient ^^

That's currently what I'm doing because I don't want to waste/under or over use fruits. So far I fed plums until I got the trigger proc. It was 2 at that time. After 6 hrs he was a very light shade of pale green.

I then fed him apples until proc mssg. That was 5 and when I checked after 6 hours it went back to original color. I even got a mssg saying something or other..."chocobo changes back to his original plumage, or color." I can't remember the exact text.

Then I fed apples again from original color until proc mssg. I think it was 3 or 4. After 6 hours, he was millicorn yellow.

Currently have him on another cycle with more plums. Essentially I went plums/apples and now going apples/plums. I'll see what he looks like in another few hours. I'm not shooting for any specific color, I just don't want a yellow or green one so I'll keep doing this proc by proc. next I'm going to add the berries if I don't like his color change after this wait time.

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

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

default color > salmon pink > coral pink > Colibri pink

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

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.

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):
