Hello everyone, after spending a few days happy with my ink blue chocobo I'm getting more and more urges to finally take the plunge for soot black.

So Tonight I finally decided to stable him up for a shot at the illusive shade, but something weird has happened.

I'm wiling to give him one pineapple to get a single feather proc message. And I tried, but.

He didn't get one so I tried another pineapple.... Then another....... finally on the 4th pineapple he got the feather change notification.
This was alarming to me so I fetched him from stables.
Tried again, and every time I always get the feather proc on the 4th pineapple...
Now I have him de stabled until further notice, and decided to post here about that.

What should I do? Do I just feed him the 4 pineapple? This seems like far too much and will punch me out of my dark colors. Which I almost don't want to risk for such a strange problem, Ink blue is my color of choice, besides soot black... So it's tough to make the decision to try it

Thanks for any input here.
