So I was going for Celeste green, and I ended up with apple green... Still pretty!

I'm not sure what the actual names of the fruits were, but I know it was 10 darken blue, 5 darken green, and 3 lighten red.

^ that green look gorgeous... are you gonna mess it to get the actuall green you wanted?



my results:
My first 6hrs finished.. ended up with millicorn color, after feeding it 10 apples 3 pineapples 3 Berries.

Starting next feeding. Starting from millicorn color. Fed 6 Pears then saw the message " "name" is beginning to grow new feathers!" Im going to leave it there and not touch it. As I agree. once u see that message I think it locks in a color choice, which color... idk. will do some math when this feeding finishes.

I got Cream Yellow with only 4 pineapples, and 3 plums. No valfruit.

i used valfruits but i think the system just rounds the numbers or something like that.

So if I'm reading this right to try to get Ink blue I'd need to use upwards of 28ish of "lighten hue" ones to get it there?

Starting to think mine will be moss green. I hope not. That's the least attractive green to me. Lol

I'm actually a little torn, but I think I am going to mess with it to try and get Celeste Green.

I'm going to guess that I need to lighten red one more, darken green one more, and darken blue a few more times. Time to grow the fruit and test it!

I wish we could do the highlights at their feather tips! Imagine how much prettier that could be

rather disappointing result after 36x of all 3 "Lightening" feeds. Oh well

OK, above somewhere is a post with a screenshot of 3 birds ... the one on the left is mine, and it's honey yellow ... this tells us TWO things:

1) Only one food is affecting the bird (Mine was only fed pineapples)
2) Feeding them beyond the "starts to grow new feathers" announcement either has absolutely NO effect, or is capped at some point ( I fed mine 10 pineapples). we will know in a few hours as one of our guys has fed the pineapples and stopped at the first "new feathers" announcement.

The "above somewhere" bit is here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...here%21/page26

The question then remains, did you feed pineapples first or last (actually a moot question, the pineapples were the only thing that affected your bird)
