    Using that chart it shows to use one plum to hit black from kobold brown. Just stop after your first feather message and see if that works?

    Sometimes you need to feed more than 10 of a fruit to get a message. If you don't get one the color will not change. I'd refer to the chart as well. It's been fairly accurate for myself and a few others. Some FC mates were having trouble, but once they followed the chart they got the results they wanted so it seems fairly solid.

    That's the chart I've been using. My path isn't even on there.

    Because you're mixing fruit (or so it sounds). The chart goes by one fruit one message, then wait six hours. If that's how you're doing it, aside from a few possible HQs it doesn't quite make sense.

    Gonna restart, I got Plum again from Regal. I only mixed fruits in the beginning.

    Gave it a try a few times and it kept giving ink blue. I'm guessing it's just not 100% and will eventually give black instead. It's just a matter of time I guess. At this rate though I feel like I'm going to hit R20 before I get my black bird u_u

    Yeah, I was bouncing back and fourth skipping over the color I wanted for about 2 days worth of 6 hour feeds. Was doing at least 3 per day. Eventually it stopped and landed right in the middle where I wanted it. I'd restarted back at desert yellow prior to this phase because I'd mixed the fruits so much my choco didn't seem to know what he was supposed to be. XD Its def. not 100%, but it seems to be the most solid of answers/paths that we have at current. Unfortunately, I can only go by my personal experience/experimentation to try and give advice. But it seems like you're having the same issue I am by going between Ink Blue and Kobold Brown. I was going from Ice Blue to Colibri pink, back and fourth until finally it just landed on Iris Purple. All I can say is just keep trying and don't second guess yourself. The charts and limited info we have help, but ultimately there's luck and RNG involved as well.

    I'm curious how you would go about going from snow white -> soot black, as poor as I am I'm not going to attempt anything until I can get some definitive answers. My assumption would be just to feed it one of each darkening and go through each tier of grey till it finally reaches black, but with my experience so far, nothing really makes sense with chocobo feeding.

    About to give up. This is fucking stupid.

    Rolanberry Red -> (1 pear) -> Regal Purple -> (1 apple) -> Rolanberry Red -> (1 pear) -> Russet Brown -> (1 apple) -> Rolanberry Red -> (2 pears) -> Russet Brown -> (2 berries) -> Rolanberry Red -> (2 berries) -> Kobold Brown -> (1 plum) -> ??

    Got Kobold Brown, from here I see a lot of people saying 1 Doman Plum brings it to Soot Black or Ink Blue. Anyone done plum from brown?

    Does anyone know if I can feed a Thav. Onion before the chocobo is maxed out for that rank and have it still increase my total maximum?

    Don't want to waste one but also am out of food and wanted to feed one more time before I go to bed lol.

    You can't, unless they've patched it.

    Don't risk it. Just get to cap (0/whatever) and then use it.

    Damn carrots are starting to cost as much as onions.
    i understand that you can only get ONE barding upon reach ranking 10 on 1 tree, and cannot get another even if you reset with pepper

    however peeps also mention that it is POSSIBLE to get 2nd barding and 3rd barding if you break the cap

    have you tried getting 2nd barding by maxing out 2nd tree?

    i mean, its only 40 allied seals but if you have tried/or willing to try i will be very grateful! XD

    I believe it was an SE rep that first mentioned that you could get the other bardings, as well as said that using a pepper will not let you get another if you switch at rank 10. I don't think anyone knows yet when you can make the switch to unlock another. I don't want to risk throwing a pepper at it just yet though, as I'm not high enough to cap a 2nd tree yet anyways, but more importantly because I'm still only getting 10 SP per level which will drop me 10 short of maxing all 3 trees.

    At the rate I'm going though I should know for sure if we do get another barding in around a week or so. Only < 5,000,000 exp to go for 2 more ranks!

    Finally. Sometimes it gets easy to realize what color is too light. Realized my green was probably still too high when I kept getting purples. One pear from Grape Purple got me to Soot Black.

    once you get into the cycle of ink blue/deepwood green/kobold brown, you are only 2-3 changes away from a black

    I honestly wouldn't even try to go straight from white to black; you're probably better off resetting back to yellow first.

    Just as another data point, the chart worked (almost) perfectly for me to get to Dalamud Red, with one significant exception: it took me multiple instances of more than 10 feeds to get the "growing new feathers" message, so the 10 feeds with no change walls may not actually be walls at all.

    Xelphatol Apple x2 -> Millioncorn Yellow
    Xelphatol Apple x9 -> Pumpkin Orange
    Xelphatol Apple x11 -> Sunset Orange
    Xelphatol Apple x12 -> Blood Red
    O'ghomoro Berries x5 -> Dalamud Red
