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

Someone on the FFXIV reddit chocobo thread got Charcoal Grey via 11 apple 14 pear 25 berries. Didn't see that posted here.


Here's the post on Reddit

I fed mine 22 plumes 3 pears 1 pineapple 2 berries- celeste green
Fed it some more pears around 6 and some other ones - got no message no color change
fed it 6 pineapples and it's now apple green. The message feathers are changing came up twice.


I figured a small number would work and that I would still stay within the range of green

I fed mine 7 Mamook Pears so far and I got the message two times.
Wonder what I will get with that. Then again I exchanged 2 of my pears for 2 Valfruits with a FC member. There is nothing with that combo in the Google Doc so far, which is why I can't wait to see what I'll get with that xD
(Except the 7 Mamook's get me a color I like)

I know that it might already specified here, but I don't want to browse through the gigantic thread.

Is there any confirmed way on getting a white chocobo?

The spreadsheet says: Doman Plum x15, Cieldalaes Pineapple x6, Valfruit x12.

Is that correct? Is there any easier way? Thanks!

The spreadsheet is useless. It's not the amount of fruit given but the times it gives you the message it's changing feathers/plumage which is still the unknown factor. Some people got it giving some fruits, others got it with other combinations, some gave dozens of fruits and some just a couple.

Yep, I think you are right. It is the message, not amount. I wish I didn't waste so many berries when I gave my chocobo 21, after getting a yield of 23. Now I have to wait for new ones to grow.

OK so based on this I reset my chocobo and went for black again.

I had extra apples so I fed it until I got the new feather message.

I then did a 1x1x1 feed order -- Red > Green > Blue (apples, pears, og berries)

When I got halfway through the berries, I did just berries until the ratio was even.

I then continued the 1x1x1 ratio until all fruit was done.

Total Fruit -- 17 apples, 15 Pears, 25 Berries

Total new feather messages 15 Apples, 15 Pears, 25 Berries.

I have to work so I wont be home by the time its done. I will post tonight around 1130 est. BEST OF LUCK!

Royal Blue now. Fed it one Xelphatol apple and received the plumage msg. Will see in 6hours how much color changes with just one feeding and one message.

Here's my Digby- I followed the guide for Celeste Green, giving him 28 Doman Plums, but I did NOT get that color, I instead ended up with Sky Blue. I did a second feeding combining some pears and pineapples, and miraculously got the color I was after the second time round-

Good test. Thanks.

I could be wrong but it seems like you're going for White with the RGB method, if you find your chocobo is lighter, maybe it would be good to go with the Cyan/Magenta/Yellow fruits.

But doesn't the spreadsheet say that Snow White was obtained with feeding only the lightening fruit?
