Chocobo Color issue

3. if both fail. reset its color and start anew, though i would really recommend variant 1, it should work out given a few more trys.

You seem to forget how costly these various food items cost. Someone who wants a color change but has limited funds 'resetting and starting anew' can be impossible.

I know it took me FIVE tries to go from Rolanberry Red to Soot Black and I followed the calculator feeding order for each color... thankfully the number of food items decreased the darker the chocobo turned out... still, when Marketplace sellers sell stacks of 99 instead of smaller stacks, it can become quite costly just to get the handful of food items that you need.

which is why i gave it as a last resort ? aside from "i really don't know how costly they are nowadays, especially on different datacenters, back when i last colored a chocobo that stuff no matter the color you wanted would have cost me less than i spend in a week on raid stuff" it was literally what i recommendet him to do when he basically reached a point where his color values are so over the place even the calculator basically turns into guesswork that may take him nowhere in ages. I quite literally ordered my recommandations (which i actually did explain how/why they should work, though i admit thats so much numbers it even gets hard to follow when you are the one writing them down) based on cost/ease of use.

I guess I have it easy then...being in an FC where I have constant availability and use of our garden (since no one else uses it). Growing is so great compared to buying the fruit on the MB. I guess I also have it easy when it comes to using the color calculator site, every time I've ever changed colors, it's either been right the first time, or right the second time after a minimal second feeding. /shrug

You can grow the food yourself and you can buy the seeds with allied seals (if I recall correctly) and they're very cheap. I think they take two days to grow.
