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

Alright! Let's take look at the current colors:

Original: Storm Blue
30R 58G 107B

Current: Royal Blue
34R 42G 96B

Desired: Soot Black
37R 35G 30B

You're on the right path, and now need to continue reducing BLUEs. You want the RED to change as little as possible in the process. Try this for your next feed:

x5 Mamook Pear
x5 Xelphatol Apple

Whileyour REDs and GREENs should stay relatively even, it will again drastically reduce your BLUEs (which is the goal as you move toward Soot Black).

that ended up giving me grape purple which is about 20 away in reds and blues and very close to the green value for soot black. what do you think i should feed it next?

Alright, here's where it gets very tricky and will possible require some tweaking.

Current: Grape Purple
52R 26G 34B

Desired: Soot Black
37R 35G 30B

I would personally try:

x2 Mamook Pear
x1 O'Ghomoro Berry

Going off an average that the fruits will give +/-5 (which all I've used in all my past posts for ease of calculations) you should end up around 37R 31G 29B, give or take a few points.
If you don't receive "plumage color change" message, then we need to analyze were you might be in the dyes "color range".

Good luck!

fed two pears, got the plumage change message after the first, and one berry which gave me the growing new feathers message. we will see how this ends up in six hours when i get up for work.

Hey guys, i had my chocobo at blood red last night, then gave it berries until i got 1 msg like it was said in this thread. But now its Plum Purple. Any Idea how to get to Dalamung from there?


thanks in advance!

I would do one round of messages for these -- Pineapple, Apple, Pear ( 1 new feather messages for each to lower blue down 10) and then one round of Pear, Berry, Apple

I have a currant purple right now and i'm trying for soot black. You fed your chocobo 1 of each deep fruit? or light fruit?

followed this information: Pineapple (fed these until I saw the "growing new feathers message), 1 Apple, 1 Pear and then 1 Pear, 1 Berry and 1 Apple all in the same sitting. I got the "growing new feathers" message for each fruit after getting it the first time from the pineapple.

good luck with your soot black chocobo. i obviously can't guarantee it will be soot black because there seems to be some RNG but i had currant purple and followed the above steps and hit soot black.
