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

[Autumnfire]

I'm stuck. I'm at Salmon Pink but it doesn't seem to want to change any further than that. Not getting any more messages when i feed plums, pineapples, or valfruits either.

[GavarKhai]

You're right, I don't know the current values, which is why it gets harder to do minor changes in color variance when people are so close to their desired color.
I mainly go off the assumption that to reach certain colors you need to fall in a "color range" (I.e. 30-40R, 30-40R, 25-35B), and then (as you read above) I reduce what I believe are some RNG by offering a flat integer as an "average".

I try to preface every post saying that I am not 100% and this is only my assumptions based on correlating everyone's past data, as well as trials of my own.

my choco is currently storm blue at the moment and before that was void blue. i'm trying to get soot black. got a guess on something i should try?

what did you do to go from void to storm?

[GavarKhai]

what did you do to go from void to storm?

pretty sure i fed five berries, and three of both the plums and valfruit. each of them gave me the feather change message.

I was looking for a nice green and really liked the outcome (: Posting my results here for the research.

I should create an official preface I can copy and paste stating, please don't hate me if this doesn't get you to your exact preferred color. Though, let me see if I can offer some guidance at the very least.

Storm Blue
30R 58G 107B

Soot Black
37R 35G 30B

Now there may be a more "efficient" way to get down to these values, but this is kind of a "off the top of my head" here. Try something like this:

x1 O'ghomoro Berry
x6 Mamook Pear
x9 Xelphatol Apple

What I'm banking on, is this will get you into the ballpark of Soot Black. Then, when you're closer, we can make small mofifications from what color you land on to the eventually preferred color.

i understand that you are just guessing at best right now but any little information will help. do the numbers you are giving mean the amount of times that you see the growing new feathers message or is that the total amount of the fruit itself?

Ahh, sorry for the misunderstanding. The "times X" indicates the total amount of fruit of each type you should feed him in one go (all at once).
Each fruit you feed may or may not trigger its own "color has changed" message as it adjusts the values behind the scenes.
If you feed all the fruits I listed above, you should see at least one "changed colors" message, but even more than that is likely.

FOR SCIENCE!

You're right, I don't know the current values, which is why it gets harder to do minor changes in color variance when people are so close to their desired color.
I mainly go off the assumption that to reach certain colors you need to fall in a "color range" (I.e. 30-40R, 30-40G, 25-35B for Soot Black), and then (as you read above) I reduce what I believe are some RNG by offering a flat integer as an "average".

I try to preface every post saying that I am not 100% and this is only my assumptions based on correlating everyone's past data, as well as trials of my own.

Here is what I am going to do for mine:



The influencing factor being the range between 3 to 6 and can be adjusted accordingly.
The top row of matrices is a total of the previously performed feeds.
The bottom row of matrices is the steps needed to get to the desired one.
I can adjust the number of Darkening and Lightening feeds in the bottom row of matrices until I get a "Total Adjustment" that closely matches the difference of the "Desired Colour" - "Current Colour".

I would like to tweak it so it can do this automatically but too busy lately to really look into something like that. Plus, it would probably be overkill XD

EDIT:

Realising I forgot to change the current colour on the bottom row to the new colour from the top so it will adjust the feeding to the following:



EDIT: I am after reaching my daily post limit. Thanks SE! Getting into a good discussion here.

Definite kudos. Downright awesome.
That's pretty much everything I was doing to try to offer advice others in the thread.

Awesome, hope I am getting the hang of this now. Replying here because, well...daily limit >.>

I am putting all of my information into a single thread which I can't even bump now even though I added that huge chunk to Feed 4 over here.

Could anyone help me out here? Looking to get to either Gloom Purple or Lavender Purple. Right now I have a bunch of Berries(68) Apples(48) and Valfruit(36) to work with. I also have 1 Han Lemon so I can start from Scratch.

Anyone know what my best bet to hit Gloom/Lavender Purple would be?

Using this method here is what I got for lavendar:



Wha you need to concern yourself with is the very bottom left. While I didn't divide in the nubmer of foods you can simplify it down to:

4 Red lightening
12 Blue Darkening fruits.

Hoping this works if you decide to go with it.
