SE Allow us to color all pieces of gear not just a part of it

They're already in the process of fixing this. When they made changes to how dye work for Darklight gear it included dyes applying variations of the chosen color to an entire piece, not affecting a single color and leaving the rest at its default.

They'll be applying this to future armor but it'll take a while if they go back and change it for everything.

Let us dye shields first, please.

Major flaw? Dying armor? Come on.

It would be nice to dye the other parts of armor and I imagine it will come at some point.

I really can't see a reason not to do this. I fully support this idea.

i too support this!

That's not what we're talking about. We want to be able to pick the colors of the different parts.

I do not support this. I rather the art teams, and graphical teams focus more on new items and content. Something like this would require a new/modified UI to handle the dying, revision of pretty much every armor asset. I much rather they spend their time giving blm vs smn and whm vs sch their own unique graphics or at least even shades. MNK, DRG, ARC have different armors, or at least different colors on their armors, while mages and healers share the exact same.

However honestly even that is a low low low priority in my mind, more content with sidegrades of top gear is what i would truely love.

The reason they don't do this is because it would reduce the amount of armor models they could reuse. Notice how, for example, there are like 6 bliaud armors in the game that all use the same model, many of which are dyable. The difference between them is the part of the armor that is dyable, and the color of the non-dyable parts.

If you could dye every part of each armor model, some of the stuff they reuse would literally be exactly the same as other armor pieces save the default dye color.

It's kinda dumb but that's how it is.

yea and how would that be bad? like u said they are usin the same models but with diff colors, that wouldnt change much. that type of thing is what all creators of games do whn they are lazy rehashe models and add a new color to it. so what u have jus said makes no since what so ever. they need to jus stop with the whole reusin old models
anyways even if we can color the items diffrently that wouldnt make the new items useless, becuase certain items have different texture jus like on some of the bilauds, some made of felt, cloth, wool and so forth they each have their own seperate texture so it woudnt exactly look the same becuase the textures define the item

God forbid we ask SE to stop being lazy and give us greater armor variety.
