    Anybody got a chocobo calculator?

    I've been using the one written by that one person from the Litch server, and 4 times now it's ended up so very not quite right.

    First time, might have been my fault because a few times I didn't get the "feathers change" message and didn't correct it. Went from Chocobo Yellow to Marsh Green.

    Second time, I was sure I got every single one to work. Went from Marsh Green to Royal Blue.

    Third time, I was sure every single one of them worked. Went from Royal Blue to Grape Purple.

    My goal is Void Blue.

    Chart I can find indicates that it should be:

    Doman Plum × 3
    Valfruit × 2
    O'Ghomoro Berries × 1

    I won't be giving up if this don't work, but I really am getting upset.

    There's an online calculator for it, hang on and I'll post the numbers you'll need according to the calculator.

    Grape Purple to Void blue is:
    3 mamooks, 4 O'ghomoros and 1 Doman.
    There's a specific feed order, so I'll edit to add that next

    Mamook, O'gh, Mamook, O'gh, Mamook, x2 O'gh, doman.

    Hope it helps and works for you

    Okay, I want a link to the site that gives you a list very different from the site that gives me the list I got.

    Yeap, that's the site I used, it worked 2/3 times for me, maybe there's some hidden values that can make it go screwy sometimes, as I brute forced to get my original colour, and then used the site for my new one. It messed up the first time, and then was accurate for the rest (so there was probably some hidden values from my brute force first method)

    Make sure you turn your chocobo back into the desert yellow (original color) to start with by feeding it a lemon.

    If you don't feed correctly it won't work. You need to feed one fruit at a time from each stack, (alternating each fruit type), rinse and repeat until you've fed all the fruit required for your desired color. If your feed one whole stack of the same fruit without alternating you won't get your desired color.

    I've used the same calculator every time I dyed my chocobo and it hasn't failed me yet. If it failed you, then you're doing something wrong.

    Oh and if you're feeding or redoing each time from all these wrong colors you are getting and not starting out with the desert yellow, then it will not turn out right. So I suggest to start from the original chocobo color, rather than from Grape Purple. Han Lemons are cheap, takes the color back to the original desert yellow and works instantly.

    So from Desert Yellow to Void Blue...........

    Xelphatol Apple × 16
    Mamook Pear × 22
    O'Ghomoro Berries × 34

    Again, there's some rng involved. I've used it for multiple chocobos and followed the feeding exactly. Some got to the color the first try, others required me to go at it with my slower approach. Resetting to the default color means a lot more chocobo munchies getting thrown at it.

    Yeah but he keeps getting wrong colors, seems to me that is using the more munchies then if he went back to the base color to start.

    There's a bit of rng involved too. What I do from the default color is calculate to the color I want and then follow the feeding order (View feeding order option at the bottom after you calculate). Six hours later if the chocobo is the correct color great, if not then I'll recalculate, but this time I'll jot down the new (and hopefully much shorter) feeding order and stop each time the new feathers message comes up. If it's not correct, then I continue down the list until the chocobo is either the correct color or I have to calculate again after the list has been completely scatched off.

    Since you're already past the default color, just skip to the slow feeding part if you want to try that method.

    That would be the site that's giving the wrong dirrections 5 times in a row. That would be the one I'm complaining about, yes.

    I used those dirrections and, attempt to get from yellow to abysal blue, it ended up at marsh green. So I asked it to tell me marsh green to abysal blue, and then it ended up royal blue. So I asked it for royal blue to abysal blue, and it ended up grape purple. I asked it for grape purple to abysal blue, and it ended up woad blue.

    So, we claim to be getting it from the same site, but what it told me, isn't what it told two of you.

    https://ffxivchocobo.com/en/woad-blue/abyssal-blue

    it says for me:


    Valfruit × 1
    O'Ghomoro Berries × 1



    ... this can't possibly go wrong. but I have the strangest feeling that this won't work either.


    For some reason, using the same page as others, I'm getting the wrong answers.

    And yes, I understand that I've been using void and abysal interchangably, but I've been trying for abysal the entire time, and picking it in the menue, I mean the one with a hint of purple.

    Wish me luck
