SE Please change Pure White/Jet Black Dyes

I'm sure this has been said many times before, but please make some kind of change to these two dyes. Possible suggestions:

- Up the drop rate through the current Quick retainer ventures

- Remove the untradeable, unsellable tags - people have already found ways of "selling" them

- Put them on the Mog Store (while also keeping them in Quick Ventures)

- Add them to Gold Saucer rewards

- Dungeon drops

- Purchasable with Centurio Seals

They're available for exchange of gold chocobo feathers.
Start recruitn'.

i'm still waiting for my gold chocobo feathers :P

Metallic Red should be renamed "Metallic Maroon" or Magenta instead too.

And a proper Metallic Red released.

Guess I wasn't going color blind earlier...

I guess I'm just a little frustrated because it's been a few months since I've received any Pure White through retainers. I'm constantly doing quick ventures on my level 60 ARC who has an approximate ilvl of 159. I finally got the 4 main pieces of my Thavnairian set and wanted to dye them Pure White. So, I asked around, found someone in my FC who was willing to dye the arms, body and legs for free. Met him in the FC house, only to discover that because I glamoured the items they are now bound to me and can no longer be traded. So, I have absolutely no way to dye them the color I want beyond spending venture upon venture upon venture to HOPE that someday I get some more Pure White instead of worthless fish and near worthless housing items.

I think we should just be able to buy them from an NPC. They're just two basic colours, it's not asking much.

They are in a cash shop. Under the guise of "Recruit a Friend".....

Can we please not have dyes hidden behind ridiculously random bs?
It's dye's, it's glamour.
Shouldn't be behind a paywall or a drop rare as all hell.

SOON.tm

or well

Please Look Forward to it (tm)

How about as dungeon loot?
A 10% chance to get the dyes instead of the gear from the boss chests

They should definitely up the drop rate. My main retainer is like level 53 now and still isn't getting any more dyes than usual. Still bringing back that ever so useful furniture though.

Unfortunately glamor is the true endgame. The way SE made retainer ventures the only way to get the most sought after dyes (pure white, jet black) was just dumb. Would be nice if they became tradeable. Or at the very least give them some value. As it is now you can't even sell them to an npc for a few gil. If you don't want a certain color you have to discard it and get nothing. I have a bunch of all the pastel colors that I will never use but I can't bring myself to just throw them away in hopes that someday I'll be able to get at least a little something for them i return.

Updated with Felis' suggestion and another I thought of (Centurio Seals)

Honestly they should all be tradable.

I keep my retainers going constantly while I'm online. Haven't seen a jet black or pure white for at least three months. I have 50 of every other retainer-only dye though.

Not sure if black and white have a lower drop rate or not. Either way I've had the worst of luck. I do wish there were other ways to buy it save for the chocobo feather...cus...well...all my friends already play this game. :S

I barely ever get jet black or pure white dyes from my retainer anymore. It could easily take a half a year to dye an entire outfit at the rate my retainer brings them. I have a btn and an archer retainer. This is probably designed to be an annoyance for the people who don't buy the 6 extra retainers. If you want to get those dyes wait half a year to get what need, or pay up for increased chances at getting them. Fuuuuu ugly metallic gold dye. It's all my retainer usually brings me :mad:

Please up the drop rates or let the most sought after (black and white) be dungeon chest drops instead of those generic colors nobody wants that we usually get.

Speaking of the dyes that drop in the dungeons... I always found those sad. I believe we can either buy and make those. Oo

Just in two days I got 2 Jet Blacks and 4 Pure Whites. I wish I could trade/sell these. XD

Yeah, I have probably close to 20-24 of each of the pastel dyes and 22 metallic gold and maybe 6 silver. I have three blacks stored away, but no whites. Of course, white is what I'm wanting and haven't gotten any for months.

EDIT: Since I've logged in tonight (about an hour ago) I've gotten 4 Pastel Green and 2 Metallic Gold. Still no Pure White.

Let us craft it for god sake. :(

This is absolutely true.

But this also the game that has devs who seem to think simply being able to dye your gear should require crazy amounts of gil and/or raiding. They apparently do not subscribe to the idea that players should have fun customizing their character... *sigh*

I've seen a few "Dying Services" on Exodus, offering to dye your items with untradable dyes, including cash shop dyes, for gil. How did SE not see this coming? >o>
With how quickly we get new equipment, both stat-giving and glamour, dyes are just too finite to be walled behind this kind of stuff.

buy more retainers so you have more bodies to throw at those dyes :P

Yes, spend $2+ extra a month to get untradable dye that you will use up on one piece of armor that you'll have to re-glamour after the next major patch pops up with better equipment. >w>

It's fine if the mats are a bit pricey, but they should go craft/tradeable.

Dye the original piece you glamour from, that way the colour will stick when glamoured. That's ofc if you gonna keep using that old glam on new pieces aswell.

Don't forget how dungeon sets just can't be dyed, ever.

jet black is common in comparison to pure white also

I really just don't get it. There are many baffling design decisions in FFXIV, but the whole dye thing is just... so beyond reason.

I hope they do adjust that eventually. If I recall correctly they did make it possible for some of the i55/i60 stuff to be dyeable.

Pff, I hope so but I wouldn't bet on it. Color is literally the only thing separating several of the "unique" gear sets. Like the Aery physical dps sets (except for dragoon, which is itself just a lazy recolor of the tank set).

Agreed 100%, suggested this many times already to no avail :mad:

A rep has responded in an older thread (from April) Here

Hopefully something happens. I REALLY want some pure white dye for my BLM glamour! hehe.

Should be getting them tomorrow I think ><.

I have 4 retainers at max plus one on the way. I've been doing ventures (all types) since day one and only YESTERDAY did I get my first dyes and they were pastels. Not even enough to dye a set either. -_-

I spoke too soon. Another two damn pastel dye pots, this time fungus green. ><

Is this a joke? Two jet black dyes. I should have kept my mouth shut. XD
