    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

    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.

    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.

    That calculator has never worked for me. I've tried it several times. Honestly, just guessing would likely give you results just as accurate.

    The site tends to be very accurate. Are you following the suggested feeding order?

    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)

    That site has worked well for me every time, but it used to have a statement that "chocobo colouring isn't an exact science".
    Though i didn't see that message there anymore, some fine adjustments might be necessary even if you followed the feeding guide, and that's is just the way it is apparently.
