Dyeable dungeon gear

I did the level 63 dungeon, had a moment of euphoria when I saw that the gear I was getting was effin dyeable... only to have my feelings of elation crushed by a party member when they told me that this is not the case for the other dungeons.

SE... you were so close to actually figuring this out... and yet so far...

Please make all dungeon gear dyeable by default (ideally retroactive to past dungeons, too). Thank you.

I honestly cannot agree more with this request than I do. This is something that has been requested and needed for years now. Have all my +1 for today.

How else are they going to get away with using the same set as "new gear" if they don't allow it. I admit I was excited when I saw dyeable gear drop in a dungeon but guess we just have to wait till they either remake it as "new" craftable armor or a higher level buy from vendor.

Easy, switch the models around between classes so that everyone is still getting something new. They've done it a couple of times now and I don't think anyone minded. Making the items dyable would only make it better.

Bump of justice

Square's Dev. team has mention some thing about the armor in general. Their response initially was that they wanted the armor to carry a certain look and to be true to the designers eyes. They also delve deeper about how they were against secondary dye since it did not go well in certain lights, causing the armor to look bad.

To put it bluntly, they're full of crap. And inconsistent, to boot.

Yet there are dyable armors that got a unique look when not dyed...

yes to the please

Yes, add my name to the list.

We know it's doable, SE. Do it. Work it into 4.1, if not sooner.

Actually, if I might add something to this that's been a concern of mine for some time: When it comes to dyeing something Snow White/Pure White, please don't make it turn any black parts of the gear grey. Leave the secondary/off colors untouched.

Speaking of dyeable, didn't they say AF3 would be dyeable from the start? Because it isn't.

+1 Except for me it's when using Jet Black and the white parts turning grey (most noticeable on the Songbird set). :)

You have my support. More choices for glamours are (nearly) always a good thing.

I don't think Yoshi-P/the devs said so themselves. I think the report of dyeable AF3 gear came out of the media tour event thing. Emphasis on "think" because I could very well be wrong.

Either way, having to upgrade gear to dye it is one of my least favorite things about this game. I thought they bucked the trend when they let us dye the 310 gear, but then I got the AF3 gear and died a little inside.

As someone with grey skin this would be nice, as certain dyes are unusable because they make everything look as though I'm half naked from a distance. It's nice to have that option in some cases but most of the time it's really not a great look.

It will be dyeable leveling sets just like HW and SB. I'm still waiting on dyeable 24 man gear.

aaaand one more thing to the list of "why isn't this a thing yet?" Right now, "being able to glamour multiple sets onto a single gear piece so I can actually use all my AF gear."

I want to see this fixed before any other personal glamour issues.

ALways prefer to have dyeable gear.

Yeah, fair enough, I know it was mentioned somewhere..but yeah....it's a shame lol

haven't got there yet (lv61 atm) so my only responce is O.O with a bump for support with the hopes they finally lay of a little with glamour restrictions (AF gear I get but some of the others are just rediculous)

They just threw us a bone there. The rest of the sets they will recycle like 50 more times and call it new gear.

Wow thanks for the support so far, y'all! This is a much better response than what I got when suggesting this in ARR... Gives me hope for the community. xD

C'mon, Yoshi, listen to us!

I also want dyeable gear -- and on that note - I love that we are now getting gearsets that are traditionally reserved for other classes, like the traditional casting set look in Shusui for the dragoon armor. I nearly screamed with happiness because I love how tribal it looks but I don't have a caster, so I thought I'd never get to have it.

Now, if you were to...you know...make a winged helmet for samurai...I wouldn't complain at all....just saying it would be awesome.

Samurai shares gear with Monk, right? Check the PvP helms, Monk had the Hawkliege set, there might have been a winged helm with that.

Aren't the sets in there just old crafted pieces from HW?

pleeeeeeease

not only SB dungeons gears are mostly not dyeable and barely looks different, Craftable SB gears from lv60-68 are ALL recycles from HW dungeons(wow... thats so cheap and lazy...-.-).... They also locked the FEW Actuall new gears behind Gather and Crafter classes restriction >-> thank you....

Take all my likes for this.

My biggest issue with the "dyeable" dungeon look-a-like pieces right now is that the trim is different on the dyeable version. For example the Gaganaskin Sandals of Healing have silverish metal on them vs. the original's were gold. :(

I would love for the sets of the second dungeon to be dyeable..especially since I dont like some of the color combinations of these sets..Also I am kinda shocked how lazy they have gotten with gear. There are so many recycled gear..I can understand this if this happens in patches because its mostly catch up gear anyway..but in a new expansion? Such a shame..

A nice bump...

... because I'm not letting this go! Don't get my hopes up with the level 61 dungeon and then fail to follow through, SE!
