Colouring my Chocobo...what am I doing wrong?

[Pyralis]

How many "new feathers are growing" messages got you?
Also it is the best to feed only 1 or 2 type of fruits each time or it can be like 3 step foreward and 3 step backward.

None, that's the problem. Since Apple Green, I have not gotten anymore "new feathers are growing" messages. I have not fed it anymore pears either. After apple green I tried giving it berries, nothing. So then the last few times I gave it plum, valfruit and pineapple. I see what you are saying with the 1 or 2 types only, I will do that from now on. But I still thought I should see some kind of change.

That has most of the colours and what snacks are needed for each one

That sheet is defunct and not accurate. Don't use it. There are some better ones out there such as:

Yes it's defunct, hence why I have three characters set now for the colour I wanted, raptor blue, coral pink and apple green, all thanks to that chart.

Then you got very lucky and more than likely wasted gil and fruit. I helped with creating that sheet when the dyeing system was first patched in. We knew nothing about how it worked while creating it. Since then, better research has been done and getting the desired colors that we want have been mapped out. People can dye their chocobos more efficiently and less expensively.

Turns out another rng feature? Haven't complain anything until now, but it seems every new thing have rng attached. I'm ok with things that require work to do, but at least have results in exchange.

Only if you don't know a good color planner.
There are already some in progress

I thought it was once per 6 hours too. They should really clarify this. Now I'm gonna stuff my chocobo full of snacks till he is as fat as my fat chocobo :P

You can feed multiple fruits after the first one sets the timer and it DOESNT reset the timer within those 6 hours. You just need to get the right amount of 'has started growing new feathers message.'

The original spreadsheet linked above is NOT accurate, as that was done under the assumption that x amount of fruits gives a certain colour, but it's since been realised that the growing new feathers message is the key. That spreadsheet will only work if you got the same amount of messages that the person who gave that 'recipe' got from feeding those fruits.
