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

I don't understand why the stats are remaining the same. So all they're doing is changing the recipes? Not fixing the fact that the Cobalt Cuirass (Red) has better stats than the Cobalt Cuirass? Man, this patch is starting to seem disappointing.

if they are keeping with color stat bonus's i wonder what stats blue cobalt would favor.

Actually, there making it so you can have the bonus stats without dying the gear. Basically you take the item and upgrade it with whatever stat you want, then you can (if you want) dye it a certain color. This thread is just about what will happen to the items we already have, for example the Cobalt Armor(Red) we already have will become Cobalt Armor of [whatever attack power+ is named](Red).

They are seperating colour from stats.

Currently we have
Felt Hat -> Felt Hat (green) (with +3 MND)

now we will have
Felt Hat -> Felt Hat of the mind (taken from the new list)

and then, if you choose.

Felt Hat of the mind -> Felt Hat of the mind (green)

Cobalt Armor of [whatever attack power+ is named](Red).

There are no special cobalt armour listed in the post... there appear to be for most other equipment though..



The only worrying one is there are no alternative to cobalt gear, so maybe the base cobalt gear will be given the stat?
Or they missed it off the list.

So to sum up what everyone just said. I will use Cobalt Cuirass as my example:

1st synth
Cobalt Cuirass

2nd synth
Cobalt Cuirass of {insert stat bonus}

3rd synth
Cobalt Cuirass of {insert stat bonus} (color)

and all the existing gear that is colored and stat'ed will become that item in the 3rd synth.

[Junpei]

1st synth
Cobalt Cuirass

2nd synth
Cobalt Cuirass of {insert stat bonus}

please see my post ^^;

oh haha you posted as i was writing out my post. we were both putting it together at the same time!

[FlynnRider]

Oh oO; I guess that's cool

[tachikoma]

except there is no:

Cobalt Cuirass of {insert stat bonus}

they have simplified some of the recipe's where you pre 1.20 got a stat boost from the dye'd item but only had 1 dye choice available. These stats are now part of the base item so:

Has been fixed but when an item had several stat boosts to choose from like felt hat (mnd/int) then those still have a mid lvl step to pick what stat you want before applying the dye.

On the item table they say some colored gear will be changed. Cobalt Cuirass (Red) for example has no possible attribute bonus so it's going to lose the attack power on it and just be HP/VIT.
