Any chance the dungeon sets will be dyeable?

A lot of the dungeon sets look really amazing, Forestriker and Acolyte among them, but why arent they dyeable? Yes, there are the job-exclusive crafted pieces with slight differences, whats preventing the dungeon versions from being dyeable?

Or alternativley, the DoM exclusive sets for example, can be used for BLM, SMN, WHM AND SCH? Instead of just the version of Battlemage for BLM & SMN and Acolyte for WHM and SCH?

I think it was mostly throwing crafters a bone. People (myself included) wanted those gear-sets to be dye-able, but there was also a push at the time to make crafting more relevant. So they tried to do both. I realize it's not exactly so simple, but it's not a bad alternative I don't think.

In addition to the dye-able crafting sets, there are also PVP sets that you can obtain with wolf marks that mimic the Foestrikers, Acolyte's, Battlemages, and Infantry as well that are dye-able.

The problem is their class restriction...

Definitely. As the ilvl increases, they will release higher ilvl craftable items for battle/magic classes. That stuff will most likely be dungeon items with different names like we've been getting so far.

Personally, it would be awesome if crafters could take a piece of dungeon gear (and not necessarily their own-we have meld requests already so no reason we couldn't have craft requests, right?) and then craft it so that it is dyable and not class restricted.

Or have it so that you need a crafting class to dye it (so you could 'request' dye work from a crafter)

I'd personally like to see a bit more options with dying. Like dying specific parts of clothing.

I hope they stop going against things they say. (So no)

I would expect that if they create a dyeable version, it will require 52 FATES, 32,000 in myth mats, 7 to 8 double mooched fish and a T9 raid drop that has a 2% chance of dropping all for a casual clothing item.

I expect if they get dyeable they will require OMFG expensive 3 star augments like the AF gear has.

I got lucky and got the brd and mnk ilvl90 stuff for glamour at a real cheap price(well relatively 150k each) - though fro mnk atm it's my highest level item piece os will actually be using it once there hehe.

Like a poster before said, those sets are class restricted.

It would be amazing if at least the dungeon sets could be given a dyability option without the needless grind. This game is amazing in so many ways, but it severly lacks in outfit customization. While I understand that most people do not find that to be a priority, it doesnt mean that its not needed. DCUO has a style tab, where you can wear all gear without needing to buy glamour prisms and you can choose between three colours.

I dont see why just making those sets dyeable is an issue, the Cashmere Robe of Casting still differs greatly from the Battlemage Robe. At the very least remove the role restriction on them or keep the role restriction but allow choice between Acolyte and Battlemage. (Forgive me if this lacks sense, typing from the phone.)

This is a very neat idea.

I'm personally fine with the current route they're taking of high end crafting providing the dyeable versions, but as others have mentioned the class restrictions on that are really annoying. I really like the acolyte's robe but I am not a big fan of green, yet all versions of the robe that can be dyed are healer only, and that annoys me quite a bit.

I am getting hopeful about it though, thanks to their recent trend of going back and making other things dyeable; Lightning's gear, other event items, AF (although expensive), darklight, and such.

As nice as this would be, it wouldnt work.

A lot of gear is just a re-color of existing gear. Making it dyeable will make getting these things many levels after again exactly the same. :/

Absolutely. IMO, the more customization options available, the better.

We definitely understand the desire to be able to dye gear that you receive within instance dungeons and we'll look into what we can do about this in the future.

Such a Necro, A sly hint that dyeable dungeon gear is incoming there Camate? ;)

That's good new. Being unique is somewhat important to other players and it sucks that a certain gear set I want is worn by so many people or in a color that I don't like

I would love to dye the foestriker(sp) set. And all the others too lol.

Put upgrade items in those dungeons that drop the gear to make them dyeable. As an example an upgrade item from Sastasha for Foestrikers. That would also help the queue time for low level dungeons in 3.0 ^^

Mmmmmm dyeable HA heal coat??? Yes please!!

ALL gear, from the oldest to newest should be dyeable imo.
Shouldn't even be released unless it is.

TY Camate! I really hope it happens :)

I just want dyeable gear not over priced reskins to dye. Crafters could still make the "glow in the dark" look-a likes, but please no more reskinned low level 300 mil gil gear.
