I would also like to know how do people know if a dye gives a +2 or a +3 and which one is which? I suck at Maths.. xD

They use their alts to find the correct color family. Then use more alts or others to find the correct color by npc dyes, then crafted, then expensive dyes (that's not a expensive yet when they're testing)

They can use a dyable npc buyable lv15 item for lv15 alts to go to gold saucer and check the dyes, they don't need the correct item at that point.

I get that, but my question is how do they actually do the maths to know which dye gives +3 points and which. That's what I want to know. I have several alts but wouldn't know how to do this efficiently so if someone kindly explain it to me I might be able to help with those too

you go in naked except a hat on, dye the hat any kind of red, if you get 2 it's red, if you get nothing it's not red.

repeat through every color family, there are 8 families, black, white, and the next six circles on the dye menu (last one doesn't count).

whatever gets you 2 points is the color family for the head piece for the week. everything in there except one will give you +2, one of them will give you +3, so you try every one till you get the +3.

repeat for every slot that can be dyed.

it's luck and brute force, there's no efficiency that i know of.

Which is ironic if you've done the WVR quest line, which has him criticizing an NPC for their horrible fashion sense.

To be fair, if you pay attention to some of the dialogue, he's simply judging, the lady is the one setting the rules. At least is how I interpreted it.

Yue in reddit usually shows his tests every week. You can check how he tests each set~

Yes, you're missing Sky Blue dye on your weapon.
