Final Fantasy XIV: Chocobo color changing made easy
Rawr! :)
So, I put together a list of some of the chocobo colors available on Reddit in both pic, and fruit formula, and how people got them, with credit to the people who figured out the colors, but honestly, I went to do my own chocobo color and didn't really understand, from the in game info, how to get blue, other than feeding it berries, but what blue, would just be a guessing game, and how many fruit, who knew.
So, I looked it up, and found out that it is actually really simple to get the round-a-bout color you want, just by knowing what amount of fruit to buy, and then giving your chocobo , still the starting color, the ratio of fruit, but less than the total said by others to use.
For instance, the blue I personally desired said to use 30 berries and 10 pears. I ended up using total, 8 pears and having 8 berries left over after all was said and done, and still had my blue. I fed my bird twice, and got it, just by knowing the foundational info to build my base from.
So, for anyone who doesn't know, or maybe is new to FFXIV, chocobo color changing is actually very simple. Just go to your house, or if you don't have a house, to your Free Company's house, and then walk up to the stable and say you want to put your bird in.
Then, tend to your own chocobo and feed your chocobo fruit, and it will say the feathers are changing and that your bird is growing new ones. Once you have given the chocobo a decent ratio of the recommended amount, say half of what it says in the video or a little over that, then you wait 6 hours and it will show up with new feathers. Based on what color it is, you adjust as needed.
The first feeding I got corpse blue, so I knew I was on the right track, but that my bird needed some more food. It was actually really easy.
People online, when I went to look up how to do it, had all these equations, and sliding scale bars for color. None of that is important if you just know the base amount that worked for someone, and then use that same ratio, far as I could tell. The rest is over-complication for people who are into that. If you want simple, just do it this way. :)
Not all colors are in this video, soz, some were not on Reddit, or had a picture but no fruit list, or basically ALL the yellows looked almost exactly like the original color of the chocobo. But, to offer some examples of colors I didn't post:
Wine Red (I wish I could have found this one)
Sky Blue (Litterally looks like raptor blue, but slightly less bright)
Celeste Green (A pale version of turquoise green)
Lotus Pink (almost white pink)
Bone White (off white instead of the snow white)
And there are plenty more. But the intention was to get a range of colors for you to use as a base, and not to get every single formula.
There is no pure black, due to getting the black chocobo when you learn to fly in Heavensward, but there are some really close options, which I tried to include in the video.
Anyhoo, the whole point of all this, is that it took a while to find this kind of info for my own chocobo color changing experience, and I hope it saves other players time and all.
I wish you as much love of your chocobo color as I love mine! :)
