Quick Synth Dyes

why can we still not do quick synthesis for dyes? It seems a little redundant to allow for 1 star/2 star items from 2.xx to now be quick synthable but not dyes.

Greetings,

We're happy to let you all know that we will be making it possible to use quick synthesis to craft dyes as well as glamour catalysts in Patch 3.2.

Hang in there!

inb4 "mindlessly spam-crafting these for days at a time was my only source of income and if people can quick-synth them I lose me edge on the markets gg square unsub"

This is wonderful news, even if I never make more than four at a time anyway. It's good to have options!

Finally, I can make my Dalamud Red dyes and watch tv at the same time WITHOUT touching my controller. Thanks Zhexos X)

Now to recommend multi-desynthing.....

I actually think these two changes to dyes and glamours are going to kill the market for them. One thing that makes them somewhat stable on the mb (for my server at least) is that fact it's not a quick synth. Not going to boycott the change or anything I just feel it hurts the economy more than helping it.

... because an economy where it costs an upwards of 10m gil for a weapon people buy for aesthetics isn't already a big mess, right?

Dyes are already a one-step synthesis anyway, so Quick Synth won't actually make it any faster, just have a few less keypresses involved. With no HQ available there's no need for touch steps, and the synth difficulty is only 51. Even without quick synth, you could make a whole stack in a couple minutes, and that's far more than would actually sell on the MB anyway. I doubt just being able to do it with fewer keypresses would make any real change in how many dyes people make. Gathering the pigments and crystals is the most time consuming part of making them.

If it's stable on the MB it's because most of your server's crafters have figured out how many they can make and have them actually sell rather than sit there unsold for months. (Occasionally, a new crafter might come along and try it and you'll have a glut for a while, but eventually they'll back out of the market or scale back to more appropriate volumes better matching your server's demand.)

Um... really? Dyes are rock bottom on my server at least, so this change isn't going to do anything. I honestly don't think quick synth is to blame here. It's not THAT much slower to synth them all manually, it's just annoying as you have to keep clicking on the synthesis button.

But quick synth is not really faster than normal synth.
It is only usefull to synth afk.

What if...rare dyes become craftable at levl 60, for example, but are not quick synth capable - i'm thinking in terms of new metallic or pastel dyes beyond the ones we have. Also, how about a multi-grade glamor prism (or a tier 6 prism), again not quick synth. It would transfer some worth to higher level crafting....
