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

Everyone keeps getting different results using just berry counts... it has to to be wrong and shouldn't be listed on the spreadsheet cuz its a total waste of money for people if they get the wrong color.

I really, really think people need to stop using the existing spreadsheet and start a new one that reflects the number of fruits that gave the 'growing new feathers' message. then if we can duplicate those results we know we have a winning formula.

These multiple colors from the same recipe obviously isn't the answer.

Do we know who controls the spreadsheet and if they can reset it and start over with 'growing feathers counts'? Perhaps we should even start a new thread???

Agreed.
It definitely is looking like you need to have the growing new feathers message to pop up and all these recipes people are posting without that information are just going to be wrong.
Everyone should start taking screenshots of their chat log when they add fruit to help keep track easier, too. Instead of being like 'I think I added 20 berries', we need a better way to track.

I can try to make a spreadsheet if the old one isn't reset sometime today if others are willing to help send information.

the other problem with going by feather counts is it may be that you can skip a color. but it ifs 1 - 3 then i don't think you can skip a color but if its 4 or more you can skip colors on accident. to fix this you could use a lighten color so we need confirmation that you can get deeper tiers then use a lighten to lower it back to previous colors this is why i think they added han lemon was because of the rng since it would be hard to get back to original number to start over. if anyone takes more then 4 fruits to get the first timer please post i have yet to have this happen. also does anyone know how i know when its done? because good guessing? so yes after confirmation it needs to go by the amount of feather changes is says when you add the fruit. Since fruit is rng based but feather changes is a solid thing happening. So unfortunately the chart is mostly useless because it could take more or less fruits to get the desired color.

if anyone was able to get this color - let me know

i was using my custom font color thing in word and the numbers on the chart i think the reason he got a different color is because of rng and that he went over the number 255 and came back over at start. so what i did was simple. Number of fruit times 3 the most extreme possible added that to desert yellow then took away the 255 as if it wasn't there and got dalamud red so i think he got to much of another color from rng because he used so much fruit and got blue. so he got instead of like 113 22 22 he got different numbers that make midnight blue since as proven in previous post you can get different colors with different fruit and in different amount.

[Fadingblackroze]

that would explain why they are getting different colors for same amount of fruits and why they get same color with different fruit amounts. so its all based on which way you want to take it to get it. if im right then tomarrow none of my should be super red they should all be yellow and maybe light orange. also to above post yes you can as long as after you feed fruit and it says timer it SHOULD be a different color from before so at last minute you can add lots of fruits. i dont advise doing to much unless you have spare fruit.

[ShinkaiParkBom]

Can we feed multiple food at one go , so we can see more color change in 6 hours?

Just an idea, but may be the condition of the stable modify the value of each fruit, that would explain why some ppl get the message with more or less fruits and the different colors using the same combination.

Chocobo level and/or point distribution could also have something to do with it. I don't actually think they'd bring character race/clan/deity/GC affiliation into it, but it's possible.
