Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[ZReport]

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.

Thank you, this confirms Pumpkin Orange after 15 messages and Sunset Orange after 16. And now we know 17 messages gives Blood Red. One more apple should possibly give Dalamund Red. I know for a fact one berry message from Blood Red should give Dalamund, but seeing one more apple instead should prove interesting.

I can confirm the Pumpkin Orange to Sunset Orange with one new feather message from apples, and also the Sunset Orange to Blood Red with one from apples.

I will be continuing on feeding apples until one "new feathers" message appears. Hopefully I'll hit Dalamud Red next, and then maybe Rust or Wine Red.
Just waiting on my apple plant which should be finished soon.

I'm going to guess that Red Wine is going to contain some blue, so feeding it berries. Wondering if plum (a.k.a. adding cyan) would do it as well, or if that would just take you a step back on the red scale.

Maybe.. we'll see. Trying to find out what we can get just feeding apples.

Hey all, would like to add my progress.

I'm aiming for a blue color...specifically Raptor, but I semi screwed myself by not planting enough berries. My FC used them up by the first feeding, so while I wait for my berries to finish up (tomorrow probably), I tried to see if I could get to the blue palette through other means. (I have not been successful yet).

Here is my results thus far:

(Desert Yellow) - Used 12 Berries --> New Feathers after the 3rd feed, and all feeds after
Used 10 Pineapples -> New Feathers after all feeds
Used 6 Berries --> New Feathers after all feeds
Result: Ash Grey

(Ash Grey) - Used 4 Berries --> New Feathers after 1st feed, and all feeds after
Result: Goobbue Grey

(Goobbue Grey) - Used 10 Pear --> New Feathers after 4th feed, new feathers after the rest
Result: Meadow Green

(Meadow Green) - Used 6 Pineapples --> New Feathers after 3rd feed, new feathers after the rest
Result: Apple Green

(Apple Green) - Used 5 Apples --> New feathers after 5th feed
Result: Lime Green

I'm going to try two more variations, and if a blue palette doesnt show up by then, I'll be wiping the results and feeding 21 berries at desert yellow.

This thread is resulting more interesting than i expected, i still believe it's RGB based but i'll keep monitoring this thread

Also , just an idea, if you're going to wipe it, try feeding large amount of berries and some plums, let's say ~10 berries until you get at least 3 messages, and plums until you get 1, i think this should lead to blue.

An update:

(Lime Green) - Used 10 Valfruit --> New Feathers after 6th feed, new feathers for the rest
Used 17 Berries --> New Feathers after 1st feed and every feed after
Result: Othard Blue!!!!!

I got lucky to get my hands on 17 berries, so I just used them all up, and that's the result. I'll probably use some feeds to try to get it to lighten up to raptor, but I'm very happy to get on blue color now.

I figured I'd post this here as well. Not sure if it will be any help.
This is my findings so far. This testing will be done with ONLY O'ghomoro Berries. (For all of my tests stables were in good condition.)

With my choco in Desert yellow, I fed my choco 1 O'Ghomoro Berry and waited 6 hours. There was no change. Nor a message.

On my next attempt I fed him 25 O'ghomoro berries. The "Feathers changed color" message appeared 23 times. The resulting color was Othard Blue.
This so far is a total of 26 total berries fed for what its worth.

On my third round of feeding I gave Kyoji 5 more berries until I got the message "Feathers changed color" again. The result this time was Royal Blue.
This is a total of 31 berries at this point.

I will now once again feed until i get another message to see if there is even another that will happen. The end goal I'm looking to achieve is Void Blue.
I will post results tonight or tomorrow.

Othard Blue


Royal Blue



Edit: I fed my choco another 12 Berries and still no change. I would appear that Royal blue is the cap if I feed nothing but berries. Or if this is RNG I have gotten unlucky. Will try to start feeding Mamook Pears next.

Ooh! A nice one on Lotus Pink for you here.

That's perfect. Has a screenshot and all in one feeding.
Can possibly be done in less fruit, but this looks easy enough to replicate on my alt. I'll do that once my crops are ready I think.
