Chocobo Dye Experimentation

[Snootles]

Thanks to everyone adding to the sheet! It seems like we've mapped out most of the basic colours. I'm contemplating on starting to experiment with the mixed fruit feedings now. Although at times I'm starting to feel that the dye process is just a 'random colour generator' by SE XD

I have updated Royal Blue exeriment. Valfruit yielded Regal Purple. Now I am trying Cieldalaes Pineapple to return to Royal Blue, which should also contribute to the chart.

Anyone else feeling intimidated at being the 'go to' person for achieving the desired bird color? I'm happy to help, but it's really tough to explain how fruit can potentially result in an unexpected color when the average player thinks it works like a recipe (feed 10 berries and 10 apples and OF COURSE you always get purple, for example.)

Little update on me. My Old Post with all of my experimentation recorded.

I successfully got back to Rolanberry Red using the established apples > berries route. I fed pears once there and I expect to hit Russet Brown in about 1 1/2 hrs. From Russet Brown I will fed Berries, perhaps landing on Grape Purple, making that a step shorter if I do. After that step, Apples will be next, some time late tonight. Wine Red has GB numbers lower than soot black so it's probably going to be rough to land on.

I am at this point too! I have pushed around the colours and just hit upon this section of the map so I will happily experiment with you on possible ways out and paths forward...

Like some other players here, I've also started a spreadsheet that will hopefully help other people.
In it I hope to list any and all possible outcomes of everything (which will naturally take a while...)
You can find the spreadsheet here

Right now I'm starting to add information from this chart, as well as this wonderful spreadsheet.

If anyone dyes their Chocobo after feeding them with a single type of fruit I would appreciate it if they would add it to the list.
If the spreadsheet isn't clear, I put some information on the top row, if you still have questions afterwards, don't hesitate to ask!

I could use a little bit of Advice getting my chocobo from Royal Blue TO Ink Blue
My feedings so far have been as follows
Ul brown - 5 Berries, 1 Pear, 1 Apple
Gloom Purple - 20 Berries, 10 Pears, 9 Apples
Royal Blue - 2 Berries

Any Idea where I should go from there, I have tested combos of fruits on my Alt Char and she got Ceruleum Blue.

It feels as if Regal Purple is a large, stable pit surrounded by slippery inclines to other colors. Moreover, I feel like Rolanberry Red in particular is very small, icy pedestal surrounded by slippery descents (with one, of course, headed right back to the aforementioned regal pit (Hm, Regal Pit is not a terrible band name)). Bark Brown is like feeding valfruit at Blood Red if you go by the raw numbers, which is both confusing and depressing. It also makes me feel a little more like the "blue overload" approach might not just be a safer option, but the only one that hasn't blown up in our face so far

Well that one apple from Bark Brown last night landed me back on guess what?................... the pit of hell called Regal Purple.

Any idea what you're going to try next?

This. At least something similar.

aside from pretending that we're going for soot black and then yelling "SUCKER" and loading up on apples at the last second.

Oh you found a route to black? YAAAAY Now you're feeding it apples... are you crazy? Maybe.

I hope you have better luck than I have. They need to amend that nice chart. That big yellow circle labeled Desert Yellow.. make a big purple one called Regal Purple Pit.

[Ravenloft]

I give you... REGAL PURPLE.

Most people here will tell you that you don't want to feed multiple fruits at once, you're also not listing any procs, I suggesting reading all information on this chart and then checking how you want to proceed.

I updated this spreadsheet with a ton of information, if anyone has anything to add, feel free to do so.
