SE Please change Pure White/Jet Black Dyes

I guess I'm just a little frustrated because it's been a few months since I've received any Pure White through retainers. I'm constantly doing quick ventures on my level 60 ARC who has an approximate ilvl of 159. I finally got the 4 main pieces of my Thavnairian set and wanted to dye them Pure White. So, I asked around, found someone in my FC who was willing to dye the arms, body and legs for free. Met him in the FC house, only to discover that because I glamoured the items they are now bound to me and can no longer be traded. So, I have absolutely no way to dye them the color I want beyond spending venture upon venture upon venture to HOPE that someday I get some more Pure White instead of worthless fish and near worthless housing items.

I keep my retainers going constantly while I'm online. Haven't seen a jet black or pure white for at least three months. I have 50 of every other retainer-only dye though.

Not sure if black and white have a lower drop rate or not. Either way I've had the worst of luck. I do wish there were other ways to buy it save for the chocobo feather...cus...well...all my friends already play this game. :S

Just wanted to add this in case there are those that do not know

Lets say you have a rare dye like Pure White, that you want to apply to a cosmetic or high price item such as the Bustier. Apply the expensive dye to it, then glamour your items.

That way if you want to try a different dye, open your character and dye over the glamoured items. DO NOT dye your original piece as dyeing a glamoured item, only changes the dye on it and not the original piece, that way you can just re-glamour back to the original item to go back to the rare/expensive dye. I'm still new to this and figured that out, so i wanted to share with others that may not know that.

I did know this, but it's still a great bit of information for newer people that may not know!
