Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Angelusdemonus]

12th Stage Finished.

Started Othard Blue, 11 Pears to get one new feathers message. Result: Peacock Blue.

Opo Opo Brown --> Used 4 Pears = Moss Green
Moss Green --> Used 7 Pears = Cactuar Green
Cactuar Green --> Used 20 Pears: No new feather message (possible hard green cap? I thought that was apple green?)
Used 10 Berries: New Feather message, stopped.

Decided just to go up berry line now with Cactuar Green, see where I end up. Maybe I end up with Royal Blue?

Cactuar Green --> Used 20 Pears (nothing) / Used 10 Berries = Turquoise Green
Turquoise Green --> Used 11 Berries = Peacock Blue
Peacock Blue --> Used 1 Berry = ???

As Royal Blue with pears was going, what was it, Storm Blue, Othard Blue, Peacock? Right? Looks like Cactuar Green with Berries is going backwards/forwards hitting that same line, but working towards (possibly) Royal Blue.

I know you were aiming for some path to Soot Black, but I'm semi happy to see a consistent pattern of colors with a controlled amount of feeds.

To recap, I went from pure apple to Blood Red, to a few berries/2 Plums to Dalamud back to Blood Red, to pure pears till Cactuar Green, and now pure berries to my current color.

Copying my posts from earlier in another topic into this one, so you can see my results.

I dont know if this will help, but here are my results, which seem to correspond to the dye mapping spreadsheet.

My First attempt:
Chocobee devours the Xelphatol apple.
Chocobee's plumage will change in 6 hours.
Chocobee devours the Xelphatol apple.
Chocobee is beginning to grow new feathers!
Chocobee's plumage will change in 5 hours and 59 minutes.
Chocobee has grown a new coat of feathers!
Result - Millioncorn Yellow

Chocobee devours the Xelphatol apple.
Chocobee's plumage will change in 6 hours.
Chocobee devours the Xelphatol apple. (x11)
Chocobee is beginning to grow new feathers!
Chocobee's plumage will change in 5 hours and 47 minutes.
Chocobee has grown a new coat of feathers!
Result - Pumpkin Orange

And with this I'm going to call it on this attempt to hit black or near-black. Stuffing one deepening color at a time to near cap, then moving on to the next, does not work.

Rolanberry Red, Regal purple, and Storm Blue were the darkest colors I hit. Which does not make any sense with the amount of fruit I put in. There is some hidden aspect to at least the deepening fruits. As someone in the "other thread" said days ago.. they might deepen their respective colors and at the same time lighten the other colors, but not to the same extent.

I think it's going to take a method similar to Kerberus' to hit black or near-black. Level the colors out to hit a grey color, then work your way darker. If it's done one type of fruit per stage, you'll have to hit a grey, then cycle through the fruits using a different one each time and hopefully hit on a darker grey every 3rd? stage.

Well, I haven't done anything more yet. Gonna run some roulettes and think about what to do now. Eat a lemon and work on something else, or continue and map pears after Turquoise Green.

I expect that my next result will be Blood Red, then i will need to use the blue berries for 1 feather change and I should have Dalamud Red, which is my Goal. The next step would be to see if you can get that by doing it all at once...

I got Blood Red, and here is where i went next...

Chocobee devours the bunch of O'Ghomoro berries.
Chocobee's plumage will change in 6 hours.
Chocobee devours the bunch of O'Ghomoro berries.(x5)
Chocobee is beginning to grow new feathers!
Chocobee's plumage will change in 5 hours and 58 minutes.

I'm certain i'm going to get Dalamud Red, and my dyeing days will be complete...for now

Anyone mind helping me trying and figure out the route to get from Deepwood Green to Grape Purple?

I see that I can take the deepwood to currant but I'm unsure of if I were to get there what I would be feeding to go from Currant to Grape. Obviously if there's a way I can feed to get me more directly there then I'm all for it as I've gotten 10 other colors from the default trying to hit this.

Get to Currant, from there Valfruit "should" take you to Grape. I can't guarantee it though.

Plums (till growing new featehrs message) should get you to Currant, then apple or valefruit (not both, either or) should bring you to Grape

Please input your information to my spreadsheet! It would help greatly =D

Update I am currently looping around a little seeing if my back and forth results in similar things... I must say what I have found does contradict parts of the map.
