Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Snootles]

Feed my Chocobo like this:
ATM its horrible that there is no clear system known and how to get the right color. There are two Spreedsheats with colorlists but no clear list with 100% use.

There is NO 100% between steps. You can get something similar to a "HQ" which means you will skip 1 step in the colour-tree that you're currently in. You also -should- care about the messages since the 'beginning to grow new feathers!' message is the clear cut sign that your chocobo will change colour.
The amount of those message indicates the amount of times that your chocobo changed colour.

You are feeding your chocobo way too many fruits and are basically wasting your resources. Anything between 1 to 5 O'Ghomorro berries would've gotten you to Cork Brown since it is the first step in the O'Ghomorro Berry tree. So the 3 Valfruits were redundant.

Didn't say you didnt do any research on your own, about 25% of my data could not be found on the forums since they were taken from game sources that did not post on forums and found it odd that your was posted shortly after mine. I would appreciate some kind of small credit at the bottom. Also here is new data i just updated it a min ago if you are going to continue with your chart since im sure it will change again. It does look amazing I'm sure you get paid well

Not that you want more work but your ice blue could extend with what I have found I looped it with single fruit single message feeds through Iris Purple and Colibri Pink and then back through to Ice Blue. Its in the post just above.

So after a few days of going back and forth between plum and lavender blue, I finally got colibri pink from feeding a valfruit at lavender.

It's now accepted that each new feather message doesn't count as 'additional fruit are being used' and you should go 1 fruit at a time if you want a specific color; get to the first feather message and stop. If your color is really far down the line, feel free to mass feed on the first session, but I'd do single feed adjustments after that.

That's pretty much what I was saying. You feed it fruit, step by step until you receive the 'beginning to grow new feathers' message since that is the indicator of the colour change. Also, if you check my spreadsheet it will show you the path to Colibri Pink. It's in the Apple colour-tree.

Adding your find from Lavender Blue to Colibri Pink with Valfruit.

Ah ok, was just clarifying because I read it differently :P

Just updated my findings here http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post2390346

Have managed to loop back a colour but skipped my purple stage. Have now fed plums in an attempt to push down a blue route.

Not sure if this could be usefull to anyone, but I'll leave my results here.

Starting from the Base Color (Desert Yellow), I decided to stop at every "new feathers" message to see results. Was aiming for Lilac Purple, and I'll stop here for now, so that more people on my FC have the chance to dye their chocobos

1st 6 hours
3x berries
1 message 'new feathers'
RESULT: Cork Brown

2nd 6 hours
1x berrie
1 message 'new feathers'
RESULT: UI Brown

3rd 6 hours
3x berries
1 message 'new feathers'
RESULT: Aldgoat Brown

4th 6 hours
2x berries
1 message 'new feathers'
RESULT: Shale Brown

5th 6 hours
2x berries
1 message 'new feathers'
RESULT: Lilac Purple

total to lilac purple: 11 berries / 5 new feathers message

Do you mean Lavender Blue?

Nop, Lilac Purple as shown in the image below.

Edit: If it's of any help to you a friend of mine recorded on 1st session: 7 new feathers message (10 berries) = goobbue grey. And at 2nd session: 2 new feathers message (3 berries) = lavender purple(lavender blue?). So if the messages are to be accounted for, Lilac purple should sit somewhere before Goobbue Grey and Lavender Blue.
