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

[BennyB]

If you didnt get any new feathers messages towards the end, you were having an unlucky RNG streak and probably needed to keep going, 1-2 more fruit would have probably pushed you into the correct colour range. But it's a case of human calculation at that point, not sure what colour you were coming from originally, but suppose it doesn't matter now.

Need to know specifically what you have fed after it changed to Royal Blue so we know where your RGB values are at. Then we can help you get Grape Purple.

I'm not 100% about the numbers but I'm pretty sure I ended up feeding it 4 berries and 2 val fruit

SOOOOOT BLAAACK! omg finally TT TT I was following the chart as best I could, but was still getting stuck in loops and all over the place. Just found the calculator yesterday and it took 2 feeds to get black. (this is after feeding my chocobo 3 times a day since the day after the mini patch. And aiming for soot black since the beginning o.o Anywho, woo!

So last night I also used that link to try to get Lotus Pink on my alt character, which I've also been trying weeks for. Reset her chocobo to Desert Yellow, and followed the calculator for Desert Yellow to Lotus Pink.. And boom, 6 hours later, Lotus Pink on the first shot as well. Someone in my FC used the link and finally got Snow White after being stuck in a loop for a while now. Those trying for black got really really close to black, instead of being stuck in loops forever. And after the next feed, they should probably be Soot Black finally.

If any one need my service,just quote this message.its easy for me to track.

I have been trying to get to soot black since it came out, and I constantly get into a loop with blues, browns, and greens. I'm currently at deepwood green. Any advice?

OK, so your current RGB value is around Red 29, Green 17, Blue 133 you need Red+34, Green+30 and Blue-70 to get to Grape Purple. Which I work out as 8 Apples, 7 pears and 13 Pineapples. Your red and green are quite low so I would start out with a bunch of pineapples probably 5, to push your red and green up, then alternate through them all (1 of each type).

Hope this works out for you, don't give up!

Math.

J/K. Well technically you can do the manual math; it's fairly easy.

Ooooor you can try your luck using Chopski's FFXIV Chocobo Calculator (mileage may vary). You have the option to select "8th Scale" RGB values or "Original" RGB values. In all of my manual math recommendations that I have done throughout this thread I (and several others) have always used "Original" but the difference in fruit feed recommendations between the 2 scales is usually very minimal.

Thank you very much!!

So one of the pages I've checked is this one. http://i.imgur.com/OXS4iz1.png

I can provide info on how to get a few of the missing colors: Halatali Yellow, Ochu Green, and Hunter Green.


Starting from Desert Yellow:

5 Apples
5 Berries
5 Pears

Result: Halalati Yellow


From Halatali Yellow:
5 Berries
5 Pears

Result: Cactuar Green


From Cactuar Green:
5 Berries

Result: Ochu Green


From Ochu Green
5 Apples
5 Berries

Result: Grape Purple


From Grape Purple
5 Pears

Result: Hunter Green


From there I can also get to Russet Brown and Midnight Blue, but I think the list already covers that.
