Yeah.... I really hope someone replies to me, since there are no guides to getting shadow blue out there.

Trying so hard to get Shadow Blue as well.

This has been my journey so far: Acorn Brown > Regal Purple > Nophica Green > Currant Purple > Deepwood Green > Ink Blue > Void Blue > Midnight Blue

Hello there,

you have to consider that Shadow blue is, in fact, more a really dark purple than a blue (I know, name is confusing ). I wasn't going for Soot black at all but Currant Purple .

This was my journey which lead me to shadow blue.. Turning around it and being back to it, you'll see by yourself that trying to get a blue blue won't help you :



I decided to return to Shadow Blue after the last Charcoal grey.. You see how fast I went back to it.
I figure that might also help other people to achieve some other colors as I didn't saw any charts with charcoal grey, Mole brown or woad blue yet .

Thank you for this! One thing I'm a bit sure of is what the numbers in your parenthesis is. I'm guessing it's total amount fed of each fruit, and the number listed before that is the number that received feather procs? Thanks!

You got it right, the first number is the amount of feathers proc, the one in parenthesis is how much I gave in total.

So, I finally got a stable for my FC and my fruits are in so dyeing time for my chocobo Frobisher! I will update as I go along.

I am working off of this diagram since the calculator that's going around is REALLY confusing to me.

Here's what I have so far:

Starting colour: Desert Yellow
Aim colour: Rolanberry Red
Rank: 3

First feeding
5X Apples
3X 'new feathers' message
Anticipated result: Sunset Orange
Actual Result: Millioncorn Yellow

Second feeding
5X Apples
1X 'new feathers' message
Anticipated result: Pumpkin Orange
Actual Result: Pumpkin Orange

Third feeding
9X Apples
1X 'new feathers' message
Anticipated result: Sunset Orange
Actual result: Sunset Orange

Good results so far! Looks like I'm right on schedule. Here's hoping for Blood Red in the morning!

Fourth feeding
12X Apples
1X 'new feathers' message

And he's Dalamud Red! Yay! So pretty! But onwards to glory!

Sixth feeding

1X 'new feathers' message
Anticipated result: Rolanberry Red

Totally terrified now.. that's a lot of berries.. he's either going to hit on mark or overshoot and end up midnight blue.. or regal purple.. *sigh*

Aaaaand he's Regal Purple! GAH!! I just want Rolanberry Red.. is that too much to ask? Others have gotten it no problem getting it, shouldn't be this difficult.

Seventh feeding
1x Apple
1X 'new feathers' message
Anticipated result: Dalamud Red?
Actual result: ((Unknown))

Might be a good sign that he popped a new message after one apple. Here's hoping!

Try to come to Black too, use single feed and use the diagram.

Single feed with list have work to Rolanberry Red. Then use Pears for Grape Purple and come to Regal Purple.. .Then have use the back feed trick and then i have get at first Dalam. Red and next 6 hours later it was come back to Rolandberry Red.

The i have use Berries for Midnight Blue but TADAAAA, again Grape Purple.... .So i use now the back trick again with Pinapples, then the last feed was with Berries.

in 6 hours i see more. i hope he go back to Rolandberry red, or Dalam. Red... . But i dont hope that i get an other Color xD

btw. i need more $$$ ^^
