Dye box: a sensible suggestion

[Doozer]

I keep my dyes in my chocobo saddle bag :P

I also do that.

So kinda like how GW2 does it? (I kinda like the GW2 way of doing it and would so like it here, but FFXIV doesn't seem to like things like it. WoW's Transmog system and GW2's dyes would be great.)

I'd also love the GW II way of unlocking a dye and it's permanently there, but it's doubtful considering some dyes are sold in the Mog Station and still a fairly successful income.

...and since I already compared it to GW II....can we ever have multi dye gear please? I'm tired of every white turning cotton candy pink when using red dyes >.>

The previous explanation we've been given for not implementing a tackle box is that, due to the way inventory works in this game, making a "tackle box menu" wouldn't create new inventory slots - it would occupy slots that could otherwise be used to store any type of item.

So logically the dye box would have the same issue. Instead of freeing up existing inventory, it would either cut into those slots and reduce your existing inventory space (not likely to go down well with people) or they'd have to implement extra inventory slots - another issue they've previously said is difficult due to past bad planning decisions - and then lock that inventory to work with nothing but dyes.

Sadly there is not much room left, I use it as my tackle box for fishing...

Or you could just sell them for gil, then buy them with gil when you actually need a dye.

I do that sometimes. I like to call it "storing my items in the market board". Though it's less reliable when an item has a strongly fluctuating price.

Most dyes are cheap as dirt, so I long ago figured out it was better just to just store my dyes as gil.

What I would prefer is a dye box specifically for the glamour dresser. Store the dyes you want in there, and you can dye the items through it. Let's say you store 10 metallic gold dyes. Then you can dye 10 items in the glamour dresser with it. When you undye them, it returns the dye to your box.

That's a nice suggestion. I only dye stuff when I'm at the glam dresser anyway.
