[dev1207] Recipes for Gear Dyeing

[Orophin]

I guess my expectations of this were too high. Nowhere did they explicitly say that you could dye anything using any color, but it seemed that myself along with others were thinking this was going to happen with this patch.

Dyeing an item with the new recipes implemented in patch 1.19 would not only change its color; the item’s attributes and equipping requirements would also be affected. This essentially rendered players unable to dye gear to their liking.

To me, that specific part led me to believe we were going to have the ability to dye any item any color. So I get one more color choice for Cobalt Cuirass. /sadface

Yoshi-P posted in another thread that it would take a long time to implement every color for every item, so I guess it was silly of me to think I'd be able to customize my armor however I wanted before 2.0. Not to mention that doing so would take away from other things that they're doing.

I kind of wish they'd have just left the current colors that are available for each armor model as-is, separated the stats from the color, and put the hours spent into a different project, since it seems dying won't be as it truly should be until 2.0.

You know what they say about assuming...

It looks like they're slowly adding in more colors though, we just have to be patient and when the time comes we'll be able to dye things the colors we want.
