Mecrofeeding: The Way to Chocobo Color Dyeing

[Melevadine]

Here is a good resource that can help you get from any starting color to the desired end color: http://ffxivchocobo.com/

I checked and from Royal Blue > Shadow Blue it says 1 Pear, 2 Apple & 3 Pineapple.

Is there a certain way I should feed the fruits to my chocobo? Like breaking them up a certain way?

Answer:

Note: It is recommended to alternate your fruits when feeding, so that you do not max out your RGB values by continually feeding the same type of fruit.

So for example something like Pineapple - Apple - Pineapple - Pear - Apple - Pineapple.

I managed to get my chocobo to Grape Purple, but I am still trying desperately for Shadow Blue.

I checked the Chocobo Colour Calculator and it told me to feed 1 Valfruit > 1 Pineapple > 2 Doman Plum, so I broke the feeding up and alternated the fruits and fed them all until I got the changing feathers message.

When I came back my chocobo was not Shadow Blue, yet again, but ended up back at Gloom Purple, which seems to be what I keep becoming stuck at.

The Calculator says to feed 4 O'Ghomoro Berries > 4 Xelphatol Apple > 5 Mamook Pear. Last time when I alternated the fruits one after the other until they were all fed I went from Gloom Purple to Grape Purple..not Shadow Blue.

Please, any help or ideas as to what I'm doing wrong??

Hi Melevadine,

There is also a part of 'randomness' that plays against us.

You can try to feed one fruit at a time, when you see changing feathers, then you wait 6 hours to see, and then move from there.

Took me quite a while to get my soot black, I used the images to help me as well as the calculator.

As you can see on the chart, Shadow Blue isn't even on the list, so the person who experimented never got the colour. >.<

Best of luck!

It's possible that it is one of those 'HQ' colours...

I edited this sheet to try find your formula

I did find this on reddit though:

A person fed their Chocobo the following from the Default colour of desert yellow (just go buy a Han Lemon to reset)

11 apple 14 pear 25 berries
(3x berry 1x apple 1x pear) x7
(1x berry 1x apple 1x pear) x4
3x pear
= CHARCOAL GREY

4 apples, 4 pears, 4 berries
(New Feathers notification happened after the 4th apple, then pear, then berry, adding 1 each at a time)
Got three feather notifications in total for this second set, one after each 4th fruit you fed
Ended up with Shadow Blue

i alittle confused what best aproach feed my chocobo

Sylph Green » Snow White
RGB(187, 187, 138) » RGB(228, 223, 208)

Difference: Red: 41, Green: 36, Blue: 70

Feed all of the following in one feeding to change to your desired colour:

8 × Cieldalaes Pineapple, 11 × Doman Plum, 11 × Valfruit

Note: It is recommended to alternate your fruits when feeding, so that you do not max out your RGB values by continually feeding the same type of fruit.

I've managed to get stuck in an endless loop between Peacock Blue (59, 104, 134) and Sky Blue (131, 176, 210). The suggested fruit from the calculator page -should- get me Seafog blue (100, 134, 160), but they don't. I've not just fed one sort all the time, but alternated.

I've tried wrapping my head around microfeeding, but A) the sheet doesn't work on my computer and shows only errors when I open it, and B) while I can write here reasonably okay, my English fails me when I try to understand microfeeding.

I wonder what I need to change? I'm currently at Peacock Blue and want to get to Seafog Blue.
RGB (59, 104, 134) to RGB (100, 129, 160)

Difference: R: 41, G: 25, B: 26

Suggested feed:
6x Doman Plum, 7x Cieldalaes Pineapple, 7x Valfruit

I've now fed it four Mammok Pears to maybe get to Turquoise and break the loop. Update follows.

So I had my plumage change, and it gives me some hope at least. Five Xelphatol apples procced another plumage change, and RNG willing, it could well be Seafog. Oh well. *fingerscrossed*

Update: Ceruleum Blue. Which comes from the purple spectrum, oddly enough.

OK I definitely need help I'm going through an infinite loop that pretty much always come back to deepwood green I need help other that the calculator since that's what created the loop
