New Dyes?

In a recent live-letter Yoshi acknowledged that he wants easier ways for vanity to be obtained. Hopefully he'll think of these dyes as well.

And by "easy", he meant "a 4-star crafting recipe"

you cand spend 0 guil and spiritbond your gear.

To reach i90 crafting without spending money, you need to waste ridiculous quantities of time grinding, gathering materials, gathering ridiculous numbers of shards, grinding for GC seals to buy the exclusive materials you need to craft the i70 materials you need to HQ to buy the i90 books, generating and melding materia to be able to make those things, and then grinding even more seals and tomes to buy the exclusive crafting materials to make any of the i90 items.

Endgame crafting is so far beyond tedious it stopped being funny a long time ago. The development team clearly expect you to have either all day every day to spare grinding, or several dozen ridiculously wealthy friends.

Unless you're willing to spend millions on materia or countless hours spiritbonding it's worthless to level a craft imo. I have over a million in my weaver gear a still can't even make vanya cloth because my craftmanship is still too low, let alone HQ it to turn in for mastercraft books. So unless you're really commited to crafting, I wouldn't even waste the time.

Really? If you invested a million into melding your weaver and you can't make a vanya cloth due to craftmanship, then you are obviously doing something really wrong. I say this as someone who's at 4/8 supras with only about 1 mil spent on melding and only about 10ish hours put into getting crafting/gathering materia through spiritbonding. I don't see any way that you could have spent a million gil on Leviathan on crafting materia and not be able to make something as simple as a vanya cloth.

I can think of no easier way, really, then to make them Gold Saucer prizes or guaranteed dungeon drops.

As for the dyes, I think they're quite fantastic, and the metallic dyes especially have me interested for potential future dye types and textures.

A small part of me is really looking forward to wearing an Augmented Heavy Wolfram Cuirass dyed Metallic Gold.

I'm okay with making special dyes which are a bit harder to obtain than regular ones, but only as long as it's done properly. It needs to be accessible to all, not just the very rich or those who spend 8+ hours a day playing.

Heh, according to forum elitism, anything less then an ATMA like grind is considered "handing it to you"

Hopefully SE does make these unique dyes a fun way to obtain, and not yet another gil sink

Can you imagine a silver chocobo! ?!?? Hahahhaahahaa super pimp

[PrincezzPeach]

Oh a secondary dye would be awesome so you are able to customise the rage of colors more....

[Alistaire]

My armor's going to look so pretty.

Yeah there's some godawful looks that people are going to be able to do...



Not to mention the ability to put that on houses.

I can't wait.
