3 hour maintenance for special dye?

Side Note:

I fed my Snow White Chocobo the same amount of treats that turned him Snow White in the first place and his tailfeathers are now changing color. It didn't seem like anything was going to happen until the very end when my last three Valfruit started giving me the message. His RGB is like 256, 256, 256 now. Here's hoping for Pure White (^_^)

What level/ilvl is your retainer, if you dont mind me asking? I'm just curious, because mine is only lvl 26, and I'm wondering if I have no shot at these until she reaches 50.

My DoW retainer is i84 (well, 100 now), my botany and miner retainers are both gathering 384, and my fisher is 341. Basically, if you qualify for XIV ventures you qualify for the "rare item" message that signifies you can get rare stuff from quick ventures, including the dyes,

Whelp, transferred my main BLM and WHM gear to my retainers and managed to break i80 on both of them, so while my odds may not be stellar, I'll put through tokens for a while and see what happens.

Finally some use for those 50k seals anyway.

It's more difficult to get the level needed for DoL than it is for DoW/M. To get the 383 for my miner, i needed to farm up another Forager's Dolabra AND use top gathering gear melded with gathering materia.

You don't need another forager's tool. Just fully meld Gathering on everything, I think some slots don't even accept Gathering materia at all. Also use crafted i70 battle accessories instead of the gathering specific ones. They are All Classes, GP is useless for retainers, and they have a higher +Gathering cap that adds up.

..Just seen a dragoon in the dye'able AF gear with Metallic Gold... not a pleasant sight to say the least. Horribly tacky looking..sadly FL popped before he could explain his fashion faux-pas, upon me remarking in my honest and lovey way... xDD

Yep, pretty bummed about this. Both of my retainers are gatherers. Now I have to reset one because I 'm not about to spend a fortune to meld them.

As far as I'm aware you can send retainers on Quick Ventures with any ilvl. Higher ilvl just increases the chance of getting rare items.

Dragoon AF already dyes metallic, so it probably wasn't actually the new dye?

Tested with metallic silver, assuming it's the same for metallic gold, can someone test with the pure white/jet black?

I'm not gonna waste one of my Pure Whites, but the Dye button is available to click. I assume that message didnt come up until after you clicked it though?
