Tried Dyeing a Chocobo.

[syldon]

there is a black chocobo mount if you're just looking to ride/fly but outside of that the companion is not as useful outside of hunts, maps, or fates. an if you're looking to level it up in multiple professions that too is going to be a massive gil sink sadly. but really only the dps and healer stance are good the tank one is really not that great.

Mine has been set to tank since HW where I lvled him to 20, where you have all skill points. I never spawn him for combat anymore. He has only ever been used as a mount since then.

It was many years ago when I did mine and I never bothered changing his colour. It was difficult back then with not a lot of information on how to do it and how to get certain colours as this was probably when it first was released. I think they really need to look and fix it. I do use my companion a lot in the world it should not be stuck in the past just make it easier for players.

I got mine to midnight blue in HW without any issues. Something has changed since then. This is the first time since HW release that I have tried changing his colour. If I get a house on the next lottery run, then I may go back to it. I won't be spending anymore gil on this. I reckon I blew out 250k on fruits this time.
