Okay so this is what I did. I'm pretty sure I screw that up big time.



I assumed the previous fruit that didn't trigger the message wouldn't factor in and decided to try to feed 5 of each lightener then stopped when I got to valfruit realizing I probably assumed wrong and screwed it up. I can bring her out and reset if needed.. I don't like having wasted that fruit but I grew plenty.

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

this worked 100% for me and i went from currant purple to soot black. thanks a ton for the advice! much appreciated.

OK. This is my full documentation of my road to getting Snow White for my chocobo. (The color I was aiming for, WOOT!) As a note, stable Condition was Poor throughout this process.

(Put it up on Google Docs because too long for the forums.)

Yeah I'm sorry, the 5 lighterners of each would probably have worked if you had not fed the valfruits initially. I totally forgot about that. I think I'll let Syrehn advise you from here on out.

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?

It's okay, I appreciate any help I'm given. There's a lot of information about this and a lot of unknown things so it can get pretty confusing. (For me anyway) I'll bring her out and start over it's not a big deal. Thanks much One more question though, should I rotate feeding the fruit ie: plum -> pineapple -> valfruit? or just do 5 5 5.

Since I'm stuck in this black loop... I took an earlier suggestion and I decided to try the math route and try to floor all my values to 0 by alternating Apples, Pears, Berries until I'm at 0 5 0. From there I began alternating valfruit, pineapple, plums until I hit a range of 40 35 30. This is with the theory that the values alternate +/- 5 on each feed.

This may just have been a huge waste of fruit, but at least this will give me some peace of mind. If this doesn't work I'm gonna work back to Ink Blue and call it good until a more concrete method emerges.

I'll be back in 3.5 hours to report.

Baaaack at Ink Blue. What a waste of snacks. Next up is 2 pineapples as someone here confirmed a Soot from Ink with 2 Pineapples. Back to waiting.

You shouldn't have to pull your choco out. You should still be able to try Skaterger's x5 of each fruit method if you'd like. You just need to feed x1 extra pineapple (6 total including what you already fed) to counteract the x1 berry.

Edit:

You should be able to feed 5, 5, and 5 without alternating; it shouldn't matter.
