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

I know that it might already specified here, but I don't want to browse through the gigantic thread.

Is there any confirmed way on getting a white chocobo?

The spreadsheet says: Doman Plum x15, Cieldalaes Pineapple x6, Valfruit x12.

Is that correct? Is there any easier way? Thanks!

It might work and it might not. I tried the combination from the spreadsheet for slate gray and got plum purple. Either there is some randomness to it, or there is a factor(s) we don't know about.

how would one get a soot black chocobo?

Very helpful image here. This one too- someone else had posted it before, so I take no credit for it, just reposting.



If you have yellow, and you're wanting a green bird you might want to try some plums or pears.

Thankoo so much for that. Pears are doing nothing after 9 and after waiting a minute between feeds like someone thought might make the difference. So maybe green is maxed? I fed 3 Plums and it said the feather message all 3 times so I'll see what that does.

I don't think anyone has reported getting one yet. I am trying to get one. Here is the story so far. I want black, so I tried the Slate Gray combination on the spreadsheet, which gave me Plum Purple. So, I fed my chocobo 1 Xelphatol Apple, 1 O'Ghomoro Berry, and 4 Mamook Pear and now I have Mole Brown. I guess that is closer to black? So, this morning I fed my chocobo 3 Mamook Pears, 2 Xelphatol Apples, and 2 O'Ghomoro Berries. I got the color change msg on the second apple and the second berry, no message on the pears. We will see... With my luck, the message appearing on red and blue probably means it will go back to purple or something.

How much did you feed him and did you leave him in the stables for six hours like you're supposed to?

Yeah. I kept him in the entire time. At first I fed him 6 apples and got the feather message, but no change. Then I fed him 9 berries with no feather message, so I gave him 6 more berries and no message. Then I tried 10 pears, no feather message. Then I just kept throwing the darkening fruit at him (probably something like 22 apples, 25 berries and 18 pears) with no message so I decided to wait and see what would happen. No change. Then I fed him 6 plums and got feather message and again, no change.

I absolutely didn't accidentally take him out either. The only thing I can think of is I just really don't understand it, or people came up and stabled their chocobo so it bumped him out of immediate view each time I got the feather changing message. Not sure if that makes sense. So, my chocobo was one of the two visible ones, but then FC members ran up and stabled theirs. Wouldn't think that would ruin it though.

I just fed mine 10 O'go berries and 8 Dom Plums in one sitting

brb in 6 hours for results

From "Couerl Yellow" I fed chocobo 8 Pears to get "Lime green". And this was on fed till I saw the first "feathers message" so this does indeed prove that a color is going to change your bird from the color it has now. And it quiet possible that feeding the chocobo continually within that 6 hrs, would either revert back to the color youhad before or change it to another color for each "feather is changing" message

Prices are kinda high now om my server, so I'm probably going to wait till personal housing to plant things myself.
