Change the Dyeing Synthesis Recipes

[WintersMoondancer]

This would be very cool. Can we get our fav mod to present these ideas to the Devs?

I love all these ideas. The way I see it, like most everyone, I like the idea of changing it so that dye is applied to finish undyed cloth/straps/leathers/etc. after the fact.

I think that allowing NPCs to do pre-defined colors on finished items only is a great idea. Say, allow them to use the pre-set color pallets that are currently in the game now.

Add the ability to mix-and-match like Ami suggested. This is a brilliant idea. She said it best 5x5x7...

And what do we have?
Lots of customization to make our characters look like WE want them to.
More options for people who want nothing to do with crafters.
More options for crafters to participate in the economy.
Simpler recipes that increase the number of finished products while simultaneously reducing inventory load

I look at that and see a relatively minor change (in the grand scheme of things) that provides solutions to multiple issues. IMO, its a win-win plan!

They forward most ideas to the devs, all you gotta do is just wait to see if there's a response. Otherwise they'd just be spamming "I sent this idea to the devs, wait for a response" all day long and that would clutter up the dev tracker.

Yes, these are all positive aspects for the game, in my opinion. Anything that will help foster player creativity and customization is usually good.

As long as certain colors are kept rare and/or hard to acquire, it will help to increase the psycological weight of certain items and therefore help retain their perceived value.

The problem nothing sell is there is no people to sell to and the new NM drop items better then you can craft

Most people now have 60-80% NM drops from rank 1-50 people also use the weapons from the NM Rank 25 weapon from R1 to 50 becouse there stats are better then the crafted ones and they are to easy and free obtain

There is just a few crafted items people use.

Should be harder obtain the NM equip and more Balance to NM and Crafted items

If you can get the NM drops easy no one gonna buy the crafted items anymore atleast so long there stats are lower or even all just camp the NM.

One other problem is the low population on the server but it will hopefully get better in future.

But i really hope the will be more balance beetwen use of crafted and NM equip

I hope maybe half the NM drop crafting material half drop equip so there is some kind of balance in the game

Some items crafted some items dropped

I not wanna see the game with the new NM all people gonna use 95-100 dropped equip

That is one thing I've always hated about XIV's crafting system, is that there has been no way whatsoever to dye an item post-craft.

Yes, this dyeing system is a little too detailed from needing to do it in the earliest stages of a multi-mat synth. It reminds me of a time I tried to craft a bone staff in the early stages of the game. Thinking I could use any mat color of that type, I tried the synth with a simple plain sheep strap to find it had to be the grey colored strap. It was then I realized that the fabled "customization of gear" wasn't really customizable, if you wanted a certain color gear, you had to have specific colors on the materials needed.

I'm all for this system of needing the dyes for the finished product of the synth.

We do know that there are many color dying materials that can take up the majority of your inventory and the dev. team is planning to improve the process of color dyeing. These changes alongside the adjustments to recipes should make your inventories very happy!

Nice! Streamlining recipes and reducing item redundancy is a good thing!

Very welcome news, indeed. No rush, of course. There are bigger fish to fry. But acknowledgement by the Team and awareness that an adjustment is coming on this front is appreciated.

Personally I'd like a System like from WAR where you buy or find the dyes and dye your armor After its crafted not before.
