Ink Blue: 22 (R) / 26 (G) / 34 (B)
Soot Black: 37 (R) / 35 (G) / 30 (B)

22 + 5 = 27
26 + 5 = 31
34 - 5 = 29

NEXT STEP

27 - 5 = 22
31 + 5 = 36
29 + 5 = 34

NEXT STEP

22 + 5 = 27
36 - 5 = 31
34 + 5 = 39

LAST STEP

27 + 5 = "32"
31 + 5 = "36"
39 - 5 = "34"

Your Score: 32 (R) / 36 (G) / 34 (B)
Soot Black: 37 (R) / 35 (G) / 30 (B)

And there you have it. That should get you in the 30's IF the +5/-5 technique actually works, acccording to Noctis Umbra. I've not received results for this but I'm attempting this currently to see if this is correct. Apologies in advance if this is yet another waste of time!

Confirmation on this?

I can confirm that the Snow White "recipe" is not 100% correct but like 90%.

- 15 Plums
- 6 Pineapples
- 12 Valfruit

First feed got bone white but just fed him 2 more Plums and finally got snow white, it seems that some people got snow white on the first feed, also read that you can get snow white if you only feed him plums (don't think it's possible with only plums thought).

Ok, so I got somewhat of mixed results. I have to come outright and say that, at 4-5 o'clock in the morning, I added 1 extra valfruit by mistake. So, what I posted is what I should have done. But because I didn't feel like resetting the 6 hour cooldown of doom, I decided to math my way back to the right numbers, slightly. I ended up with Wine Red, which is fine, because from there it's one step away from Kobold Brown anyway.

I ended up improvising and going with x2 Pineapples / 2 Valfruits // 1 Plum <---- Only counting fruits with messages popping. What I SHOULD have done was reset my timer and started over with what I originally posted. I had to re-check my math 2-3 times just to be sure (plus because I was super-exhausted then). So, in the end, I think adding the extra valfruit removed a layer, and that's how I went over Kobold Brown and landed on Wine Red (again), which is next up in line.

Trying to get back to Kobold Brown currently. I'll update if anything interesting happens. Sorry for the delay in replying! D:

I would also like to know if anyone at Kobold Brown has ever just tried adding a single O'Ghomoro Berry to see if they could reach Soot Black? I almost tried this to test it in the past, but decided to go with the Plum that people reported to work at the time.

currently attempting your original plan. will post back around 5pm Central time with results

edit: i did give a kobold brown choco a single O'ghomoro berry in one of my initial experiments to get out of the loop and still got ink blue

KK! Let me know how it goes and sorry if I steered you down the wrong path! >___< Just trying different things to figure out how this works. I decided to go from Wine Red and use x1 Plum (remove's Red), to see where that lands me. If I hit Kobold Brown again, I think I might decide between the 2 plum strategy I haven't seen tested yet, or push back to Deepwood Green by using x1 Valfruit & maybe x1 or x2 Apples. And from there, use the single Valfruit to get to Soot Black like others have reported to work.

If I end up anywhere else, then I have no idea then what to do but double back.

ive been bouncing around ink blue, kobold brown, and deepwood green trying various methods. at deepwood green i tried the valfruit and got ink blue. from ink blue tried 1 pineapple and got kobold brown from there tried a plum and got ink blue again. so idk.

my stable condition has always been good though. have we confirmed whether or not stable condition influences values?

This may be a waste of time (kind of ironic when you think about it) but has anyone tried 2 Doman Plums @ Kobold Brown yet? I can't tell what the numbers added and subtracted are exactly, but using that +5/-5 business, I keep getting all 30's, which is where Soot Black is.

i think +8/-8 might be the scale. your 2 pineapple 1 valfruit 1 plum theory yielded kobold brown. and ill try the plum again. see if maybe rnjesus gives me soot black

updated color scale from new thread. this makes alot of peoples color combinations make sense if this is accurate
