The new dungeon gear? (4.2)

[Kazrah]

I doubt it. Skalla got dyable gear because it was released as the only new dungeon in that patch. Since there are two dungeons this patch I bet it's not dyable (But I bet the gear we get in the lone dungeon from the patch after 4.2 will have dyable gear again, to get people to run it.)

Pretty sure different sections of their art department handle gear design and dungeon design, or they might be different departments. Either way, workload wouldn't be the reason for it.

I think the Skalla was dyeable because it was based on one of the 3 contest winners. 2/3 winning designs are dyeable, the caster based set will probs be too.

This would make more sense.

Aren't these just different colors of the Castrum Abania gear?

They are. I dont like how they using previous armourset, only with dyable. Bah, prefer we got new armourset every patch.

I guess Mog Station will probably get something unique.

Chances are pretty low that it'll be dyeable, due to Yoshi-P's answer to that question during New Year's Eve.

Recoloured versions of previous sets isn't really something new. 2.1 had recoloured sets, and that was before the introduction of all the cosmetic stuff to the mogstation.
You'll actually see a pattern if you look at HW: 3.1, 3.3 and 3.5 had new sets, while 3.2 and 3.4 had recolours.

The gear designs so far this expansion have been incredibly awful from my perspective. There hasn't been one set that I've been motivated to complete.

Yeah..the crafted ones have been better than in heavensward at least.
But the dungeon, alliance raid, regular raid, and tomestones design have been the worst :x
Sorry square enix..you have to hear the truth from us so that you improve. Maybe change design philosophy a little bit and look at other games? rpgs? or even your own FF games........

I'm with you on this thought. Been disappointed by the majority of the gear this expansion.

I don't think there's right or wrong when it comes to personal tastes. I love some of the sets from SB, so I don't think any "improvements" are needed @x@

They've generally been blander and more "practical", but not all of them have been awful. I really like the set from Bardam's and the healer gear design contest winner (though males couldn't get the actual set that won, for some stupid reason). The level 66 crafted tank sets is one of my favourites for that role.

There are less designs I like since most of what we're getting seems to be based out of Gyr Abania. I hope we get to revisit the Far East and get more styles in that vein.

I like the Bardam's gear too, but still find it confusing that they'd have dyeable versions, but just for DoH/DoL classes and can't be glamoured for combat jobs. That's the only real issue that I have with the SB gear.
