Dying is like any other recipe, you have to be withing range to make the item with the proper craft to dye it.

Really enjoying the current changes, patches keep getting better :D

One thing I would like to suggest is to change the crafting menu/list to actual icons on the action bar.

sorry i dont think so.
maybe it is easier and faster to lvl up. but it is far away from perfect, especially the new skills design.

What don't you like about it?

I don't know how anyone can actually rationalize that the older ability system was better. Half of the skills did nothing or next to nothing.

Aye, with these new abilities it feels like you can really tailor what you use to your personal style and using them matters!

Are you trying to make the item with the dye, or are you making the item then using the dye? Also, different color dyes work with different base fabrics/leathers... so maybe those aren't matching up.

New system may be better for leveling, but it sucks for HQ. It's much harder IMO to HQ things. Before the patch i was reliably making HQ felt with the 3x synth with only 4/8 or 5/8 HQ. Now i'm lucky to get to 50% with that. Many of the 3x synths no longer seem to be worth it.

I hate it.

I bet this is the issue. Not everything can be dyed per your liking. Crafted items can only be colored X colors not all. Also, the recipes have changed a LOT. Have you tried using MoogleBox or any of the other sites that really cater to items and crafting?

I personally like it, from the begining its not like we had much control over weather we succeded or not.. but at least you can feel like you have something to do... I'm just glad its not as slow. I'm sure SE knows they can't please everyone.. there will always be people that complain about what SE does.
That being said... a change or improvement I would like to see added is more mid lvl crafts. There is alot of stuff for lvl 50's to do.. but i'm bored of making the same axe or bow, or spear. Please add some Furniture for all the lvls. Maybe even some quests (other then the few at lvl 20, 30) for crafting.. just to keep it interesting.

I can sign onto this 100%. This is a nerf to crafting with fancy decorations. Don't fall for all the tricks! Hand of gods, perfection, fulfillment, greater calling, and more were crazy good prior to 1.22, now most all skills seem watered down.
