Give us Dye for all gear, independent of type or rarity

[RaphaelDDL]

I really think that dying should be extended to all gear items. The endgame ones are not dyeable, nor the green bg ones.. Everyone looks the same, very dull!!

If we have a paint to dye a cloth, why can't use on everything? It's our gear, there shouldn't really have any problem.. All items have a color palette, it's just let us dye the main color and that's it. Fashion is nice!

One thing I always liked on RagnarokOnline was the dyer, that actually swapped your character palette (because didn't had separated pieces, apart from head/weapon).

While seems simply, just by having everyone colorful was already something funnier because everyone used a different palette with different hair color, which sometimes made weird-looking characters

Why can't a Paladin with darklight go running around with a pinkish armor?
Or a summoner trying to mimic that summoner's palette from summoner lv35 quest?


I bet that each item has a flag on db with 'dyeEnabled' true/false, where is true to those awful common items we can dye and false to the cool ones. It's just a matter of setting all true and the class that reads that property will do the rest and let the fashion run!

Post your ideas, suggestions etc. Keep flame out of this topic! o3o

They stated they didn't want players to be able to die Lore tied items. Which personally I think is a copout that should be removed. If I wanna run around in Grape Purple Marauder AF+1 I should be allowed.

Agreed. I don't care about people who complain about "immersion ruining". If I want a red WHM AF I should be able to.

[Eidolith]

More customization is always better, all my yes.

Screw immersion, if I want to run around a tie dye Monk Gi, I should be able to run around in a tie dye Monkey.

"Immersion" sounds like a clever way of saying "We didn't have the time to implement a sophisticated dye system."

It would be dumb to be a black mage with a white colored, black mage gear,
and it gives one more reason to use crafted gear.
Or wait for the vanity slots.

Preeeeeeetty sure they're called black mages for using black magic, and not wearing black robes.

[Obreck]

When I make my Black Mage can I at least have the option to dye the hat straw yellow and the robe midtone blue, since the default color layout is NOT in fact iconic at all?

Or what if I want a green/red/purple dragoon, seeing as all those colors are official dragoon color scheme (green would have more priority than the default blue really, since it was the original Kain color scheme.)

I agree its kind of retarded they put a dye in the game but it's pretty much useless at higher levels.

Not much different than how I feel as a PLD in full DL though, don't look like a paladin at all. Honestly though, contrary to most posts in here, I don't think we should be able to dye the lore-specific items. a WHM robe is white/red, that's just the way it is people.
