Will current dyed gear lose its stat bonuses? [dev1207]

[Irondude]

Am I going to log in after 1.20 and see "Dated (Red) Cobalt Celata"

I can see thee options

1. Gear becomes Dated
2. Stats on color gear disappear
3. Old gear will keep its extra stats and be a rare item moving forward

... if its the latter I'm inclined to start crafting.

I think it will be the number 3.

I think it will be the number 3.

I'd have to say 3 as well.

I don't believe it will be any of those options.

If I recall correctly it was already stated that if you have a stat inducing piece of gear it will be renamed appropriately. Such as Raptorskin Harness of Strength (Black). None of our gear is being "Dated" this time.

Oh, misread the original post, thought this was what was meant by 3.

Well thanks holy then for the clarification.

I'll dig around and see if I can find the quote for those who like such things. I'm positive it was a dev-post, or at the very least a Reinheart translation.

Here you go =) From Rukkirii

To answer questions we've seen pop up. You won't be required to use HQ dye to dye an HQ piece of gear. NQ/HQ dye will be able to be used in both instances.


anddddd


Stats will remain the same as they are currently.

Quoting self from another topic.

Current gear will stay as they are now.Your "fingerless raptorskin gloves (white)" will just be renamed to "fingerless raptorskin gloves of slaying (white)"

But you won't be able to change your gloves' color for now because it's dyed already. If you happen to, let's say, want one dyed red then you will need to:

1- Make a fingerless raptorskin gloves.
2- Upgrade it to fingerless raptorskin gloves of slaying (new recipe).
3- dye it.

Thanks, that covers it I think just nicely.
