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

One of the worst implementations of what otherwise is a nice addition they've ever did, and that's saying alot, considering we have atmas.

You must be fun at parties.
Its new, its interesting, its not automatically figured out by the entire community instantly.

I am currently aiming at Rolanberry Red.
Theorically speaking, what fruits would I need to go from Sunset Orange to Rolanberry Red?

I am doing this in reverse.. rolan to sunset and I cannot get it done. Any suggestions would be welcome. Rolanberry Red to Sunset Orange.

I wonder if they'll patch the system. I'm somewhat discouraged to buy fruits (they are relatively expensive) and end up with a wrong color.

Otherwise, I'm sure we'll all figure it out with enough trial and error.

I've managed to go from Cream Yellow > Bone White > Cream Yellow > Bone White

I've stopped keeping track on procs now, dejected

How many new feather messages? On which fruits? Stable condition?

Stable condition was good, Chocobo was Honey Yellow before feeding, I fed it more lightening foods (some of each; pineapplles, valfruit, doman plums) and received a 6-hour countdown to absolutely nothing. It's a shame because aside from the red value, there should be plenty of room to move toward 255 green and 255 blue from that color.

I feel that this gameplay (namely the item text for the foods and the chat/stable countdown message) is misleading.

I dont see listed on the Excel: Storm Blue

1st feed: 30 X O'Ghomoro Berry + 10 x Mamook Pear
2nd feed: 10 x Xelphatol Apple

I am going toward Black or Midnight/Ink blue. I would love some tips on how to achieve that color from StormBlue.

Thanks!

I've started to try getting from Snow White to Soot Black. Though it's possible I'll stop at a color I REALLY like. I've been using 1 type of fruit until the "feathers" message pops up once, and then waiting. This seems to be a much more stable way to get colors, even if it takes longer. So far:

Snow White + 1 pear (message) = Sylph Green
Sylph Green + 1 berry (message) = Celeste Green
Celeste Green + 1 apple (message) = ?

I'm guessing it'll be a light to mid grey. I'll see in 5 hours.

You just need 1 more plum proc to get snow white.

And the results are in... ;_;

I hate this system.

If you look at the RGB for Coeurl Yellow, Moss Green (where you're at now), and Soot Black... Ravenguard put you on the right track. Your RED/GREEN values have been reduced while your BLUE slightly increased into Soot Black range. The next step would be to continue reducing RED/GREEN while maintaining BLUE at around the same value as it is now.

Starting Color: Coeurl Yellow
182 129 3

Current Color: Moss Green
105 108 33

Desired Color: Soot Black
37 35 30

Desert Yellow>> 10 apple, pear, berries >> Halatali Yellow >> 10 berries >> Mole Brown >> 10 apple, pear, berries >> Rolandberry red >> 3 pears >> grape purple >> 1 apple 2 pears 1 berry >> Rolandberry red >> 1 apple 2 pears 1 berry >> Kobold brown >> 2 plums >> Soot black

Hmm, so on the first rolandberry red, did you intentionally change it to grape purple before changing to to rolandberry red?
OR was that a mistake?

So i could just jump from Rolandberry red to kobold brown?
