Argh.. Guess I know what I'm doing next.

Not Apples or Valfruit from Rolanberry... Pears now and coming from the red side.

Now I just hope those Valfruit somehow dumped me back down to Sunset Orange, but I doubt it.

Hi, just wanted to report something I didn't find anywhere else yet :

Sunset Orange + Mamook Peer (10x, got 1 "new feathers" message) = Pumpkin Orange

[Anonymoose]

Going to join the fray here and post each step of my progress from Desert Yellow to Grape Purple (one new feathers message from one fruit type at a time). Hopefully I can help corroborate the findings so far, and if something goes horribly awry, hopefully you'll at least be able to help meh fix it!

Expectation: Sunset Orange (178 85 39)
Resulting Color: TIMER IN PROGRESS; 05:05AM EST
Notes: This stage is a little strange if one assumes that the raw RGB values are of worth, here. From Pumpkin to Sunset, the green decreases as expected, but the red decreases and the blue increases? From an apple? SE's values must be a little different if this is true. Also, another 12 apples down. Doubt I'll make it from sunset (assuming I get sunset) to blood in just 9 from my first planting. <sad meh>

TL;DR SUMMARY
Staring Color: Desert Yellow
End Goal: Grape Purple

LMAO.. oh this is getting hilarious.

17th Stage Finished

Recounting the last few..
Valfruit from Dalamud Red: Dalamud Red > Blood Red > Dalamud Red .. yes, hello another loop!

Oh well, that actually works out really well for what I wanted to test next. I'll be doing Berries to Rolanberry Red, then Pears from there in a Wine Red attempt.

My Old Post with everything I've done recorded in it.

[Zomb]

Ok so I gave up on experimenting from Dalamud Red, since everything but berries seems to take you back to Blood Red.

Did Dalamud Red + Berries > Rolanberry Red
Then
Rolanberry Red + Berries >Abyssal Blue

Keep in mind that I'm only feeding fruits until I receive the new feathers message, then I stop. According to the map I should have gotten Midnight Blue or Royal Blue.

Would feeding more berries @Abyssal Blue give me midnight blue?

[Sadana]

I'm just not sure what to make of all these wacky results we're getting. Things seemed to mostly follow certain paths for a while, now, I'm just left confused and annoyed. :/

[Mtoasty]

Just got to Storm Blue from Royal Blue feeding Pears, 12 pears then feather message.

[Shika]

Currant Purple +1 pear = Deepwood Green

So I appear to be cycling now... not sure what to try next. Valfruit last time took me to Currant Purple again.

Maybe just an uncommon proc to get to Soot Black. I wasted 4-5 days on the Regal Purple cycle trying to get to Rolanberry Red before giving up. Yet everyone seems to get to Rolanberry with not too much hassle

I decided to use a pineapple, just to see what colour it would result in...
Deepwood Green +1 pineapple = Marsh Green
