Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[ruskie]

Sylh green from feeding it 1 onack ot start the plumage change and 3 new feathers will grow messages - origin point desert yellow.

This is the process I used to achieve Snow White:

Feed #1 (6hr cycle) - Honey Yellow

• Cieldalaes Pineapple x3

Result = Honey Yellow

* It took 3 Pineapples before the "Feathers" message appeared.

Feed #2 (6hr cycle) - Cream Yellow

• Doman Plum x4

Result = Cream Yellow

* The "Feathers" message triggered at 3 or 4 Plums. I didn't write this "Feather" trigger down so unfortunately I don't know exactly which but I'm 98.5% sure it was at 4.

Feed # 3 (6hr cycle) - Snow White

• Doman Plum x7
• Valfruit x10

Result = Snow White

* Fed 1 Doman Plum and got no "Feathers" message. Switched to feeding 10 Valfruit (each had the "Feathers" message) and then the remaining 6 Doman Plums (each plum triggered the "Feathers" message).

Total Fruits Used:

3 Cieldalaes Pineapple, 11 Doman Plum, 10 Valfruit

*Note: Stable quality was "Poor" for all feedings.

* Continued From Above Post

Total "Grows Feathers" Message Over 3 Feed Cycles:

1 for Pineapples, 1 for Plums, 10 for Valfruit and 6 for Plums


Reviewing the Google Doc the results I posted above could work for Honey Yellow and Cream Yellow as well.

Honey Yellow = 1 Pineapple "Feather" message
Cream Yellow = 1 Pineapple "Feather" message, 1 Plum "Feather" message. 2 messages total over 2 Feed Cycles.

* Additionally I just saw someone post in the "Chocobo Dyeing" thread that they got Cream Yellow after using 7 Pears but triggering only 2 "Feathers" messages.

From the other thread (if it hasn't already been shared):

Another theory about the fruit is this

Plum - Lightens red hues but at the same time increases green and blue hues.
Apple - Deepens red hues but at the same time lessens green and blue hues.
Valfruit - Lightens green hues but at the same time increases red and blue hues.
Pear - Deepens green hues but at the same time lessens red and blue hues.
Pineapple - Lightens blue hues but at the same time increases red and green hues.
Berries - Deepens blue hues but at the same time lessens red and green hues.

Apparently someone used this to attain snow white in like two dye sessions.

If someone wants Soot Black, you can try a theory I derivated from post #81 and a bit of observation on my chocobo (staple is in "good" state)
1st session : 17 Berries
2nd session : 2 Apples then 7 Pears
3rd session : 1 Berry

Hardcore version :
1st session : 22 Berries
2nd session : 8 Apples then 7 Pears
3rd session : 1 Berry


I'd test it myself but I have a lot of friends to provide fruits with and that's not the color I want ^^
Please don't be mad if I'm wrong...

Edit: theory is based on the fact fruits give this kind of bonus / malus in RGB notation, capped to 0/255 of course (that's why order matters !)
Berry (-7,5,-7,5,1)
Pineapple (7,5,7,5,-1)
Apple (1,-7,5,-7,5)
Plum (-1,7,5,7,5)
Pear (-7,5,1,-7,5)
Valfruit (7,5,-1,7,5)

I would try it soon as all the fruits are done growing at this point that would take longer then seeing if it worked lol

Quick question which of the two you think may end up being black? hardcore version or normal? I can test out normal now and see what happens in 18hours. Or just wait for more blue to grow and do the hardcore version.

Both should but non-hardcore should be enough ^^
Hardcore version should definitely make it happen.

Tell me if you have tried that, I'm working on a royal blue right now

Adding my last bit of input because I got the color I wanted.

Desert Yellow -> XXX amounts of Apples giving feather notices = Pumpkin Orange.
Pumpkin Orange -> XXX amounts of Apples giving ONE feather notice = Sunset Orange.
Sunset Orange -> XXX amounts of Apples giving ONE feather notice = Blood Red.

Enjoy.
