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

36 o'ghomoro berries harvested using T3 Shroud Soil, very fast growth. Dye berries will be cheap enough.

The first berry you give tells you "(your bird's name)'s plumage will change in 6 hours." You can still feed it again immediately but I did not get the color change message, so it may have been wasted.

Also, remember that you can't remove your chocobo from the stables for those 6 hours!

Damit... I should of kept my off-garden to chocobo feed. Was hoping to capitalize on these for profit.

Ganna have a shite-ton of dark blue at least....


Edit: Han lemon seeds seem to yield only one lemon... Might be wise to choose carefully which path you will colour... or plant more lemon seeds. I haven't used shroud soil on it though since I felt it wouldn't be important but it may have only increased the yield by one or two.

Edit2: I know this thread is focused on the dying results but for those curious, crossbreeding han lemon seeds with Krakka root and/or Valfruits yielded gyashl green seeds.

I'm glad you brought this up, because I've got this to share in terms of cross-breeding from the new fruit seeds:

I'm going to be honest, I don't remember the soil I used for this bed, but I'm almost convinced it was a side-by-side mixture of the chamomile I had near it with G3 Thanalan Soil that was planted prior to the patch, and the O'Ghomoro Berry seed with G3 Shroud soil planted after that must have made it produced 9 curiel root seeds and 36 O'Ghomoro Berries. Either that or it could have been the Xelphatol Apple with some sort of Shroud Soil added in to produce it. Never seen this happen before considering I've only used G3 Thanalan Soil for all cross-breeding excursions. I'm baffled, dumbfounded, and completely mind f***ed to say the least...

Yeah, Shroud soil can still crossbreed, but it's very rare (maybe 10% at best), but on the other hand you get multiple seeds. Interesting that it crossbred though, might make for some lightning-fast (well, comparatively) crossbreeding for specialty choco feed.

Really? Holy crap, so I guess my guess was correct then. I suppose the 2 plants, one with Thanalan soil and the other with Shroud soil really did increase the cross-bred seed result yield. I never knew that was even possible, even after reading all the guides, forum threads, and Google documents. This is truly insightful and also incredibly spontaneous, to say the least, considering I've been trying to get more curiel seeds in order to produce some more Thavnairian Onions.

Thanks for the insight!
