New Dyes?

[myahele]

The new dyes look great. Too bad it'll require alot of RN and gill to purchase.

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.

Well then, head on over to the mogstation or w/e it is and check out my weaver gear. Then check the craftsmanship required to craft vanya cloth. Probably should have did that before calling me out.

I thought they said in the last live letter that the new dyes will have something to do with retainer ventures.

Exactly, the 4 new dyes we see will come with 2.4 and can be only optained by retainer duty!
At least so far they have said, maybe they add an other way to get them, but no one knows...

Edit: it wasnt a live letter, if i remember correct it was on TGS where they answered some questions.

[Erendis]

That was still Live letter.

Not to mention the ability to put that on houses.

I can't wait.

Yep, can't wait to see it

Anyway, I want to dye my chocobo bronze

The dyes already show up in game on specific gear btw.

Example being

Pure White is the colour of the Bard Soldiery body standard, and metallic grey/gold is Noct plate and Daystar robe.

Presuming Jet black is also Evenstar :/

You have nothing melded to your belt, legs, feet, off hand or neck. You really should have looked up a guide on melding. Why did you spend gil on Control +4 for your head and neck when you could have achieved more control and saved gil melding control II and III to other pieces? If you don't research how to meet stat caps in the most gil efficient way, you have no one to blame but yourself. You're 9 craftsmanship away from being able to make Vanya silk. That's 2 craftsman command III. Go spirit bond, read some threads on melding, and stop complaining. And don't expect to HQ much without having CRP to 50 first. Byregot's Blessing is your most important tool to HQ anything. And you would know that if you took the time to do your research.

I just did and yes, you are doing something incredibly wrong. You blew your gil on Tier IVs when in many cases tier 3s would have sufficed. I mean you have a piece of 200k materia (Command IV) in the head piece of all things, and that could have been used on 3s for your other piece. It's just miraculous how wasteful your spending seems to be on your weaver's meld. You could have easily made the requirement with a million gil, you just saw the fancy overpriced T4s and went for that.

The problem is, a whole lot of the info out there about how best to materia up gear is woefully out of date or just plain wrong (from my own inquiries a while ago).

I'm finishing up Blacksmithing and Armorer then I'll have everything at 50, and then..... I'll be talking to a friend in game who can pretty much make anything there is as to the best way to meld up my gear sets. Without him, I'd have no clue where to even begin tbh.

Then again, I'm probably better off just saving the Gil for now, since I'm betting you'll need retainers in i110 gear to get the new dyes, and I'm not wasting my time on that. Be easier to just buy them off the MB with Gil.

You know there's something horribly wrong with the crafting system when you absolutely NEED optimal melds for anything.

That said, Vanya doesn't have particularly high requirements, so I'm still baffled as to how you fail to meet the minimum standards. I've never even owned 1 million gil, and I play on legacy servers where the materia prices tend to be more inflated, yet my stats are more than high enough to cope with Vanya, HQ or otherwise.
