2.4 for the new dyes? (metallic gold/silver, pure white, jet black)

My retainer is ilvl82

I've gotten only white so far. Hoping to get silver or gold someday ><;

got 2x2 silver, 4x2 black and 1x2 white so far

my retainers are all mid ilvl 80

I'm still wondering if anyone has obtained Metallic Gold yet. If not, it must either be bugged or require a high ilvl than the rest of the dyes.

Yeah I've yet seen anyone with a golden dye... yet I obtained silver 2x3, white 2x2 and black 2x2 >< dat elusive gold dye... and my 3 retainers are all above i90+.

It seems that if you dont have a retainer with i80+ gear, you wont see any dyes. I have sent my retainers out on over 40 ventures and still get the usual stuff of fish, furniture, house parts and other stuff. I'd equip my retainers with better gear but I cant afford to right now and the myth gear is job specific. Guess I will have to wait until 2.4 when they unlock the higher level gear that is fully cross job.

Hello everyone. This is FFXIV Producer/Director Yoshida.

I’d like to explain a little bit about an error that occurred during a recent update, which led to metallic gold dye failing to drop in quick exploration ventures. The update was intended to make all the rare dyes drop with equal probability, but due to a programming error, the last line of data failed to trigger. As the metallic gold dye came at the end of the list, this meant that it couldn’t be obtained. I’m really sorry about this.

I know a lot of you were excited about playing around with the dyes, and spent a lot of ventures sending out your retainers to find them.

By way of apology, we’ll be sending all players with active subscriptions, including internet café-only subscriptions, four pots of metallic gold dye via the Moogle Delivery Service. (This applies to full accounts only. Unfortunately, players with free trial accounts will not receive this letter.)

We’ve addressed the problem on our end, and the QA team is currently making sure everything works as it should. We’re planning to release a hotfix to correct the issue on Thursday, October 16. We’ll send out the pots of dye via the Moogle Delivery Service at the same time. As soon as we can confirm when the issue will be fixed, or when the letters will be sent, we’ll post it in Topics straight away.

Please note that this is the first time we’ve implemented this method of drop randomization. None of these changes affect drop calculations for other items, which we’ve verified to be working as intended.

I apologize again for this error, and hope the gift will go some way to making up for the problems it caused.

Thank you for your continued support of FFXIV.

How about i get those ~300-350 ventures back i tried finding them instead of a measly 4 pots that EVERYONE, not only those with retainers that actually can find them, gets. Or the ~50-60k seals i blew on that and rather could've saved for 2.4 for new stuff that is probably comming. Or a couple 100 shards for the stuff i crafted to get those seals?

Quite disappointed that it took you 5 days to find that out. Now i don't really want them anymore either if everyone and there grandmother is running around as Powerranger Gold...

Anyways - Thank you announcing it pre Hotfix, 2 days more to send my retainers back to useful stuff ('-')/
