Rolling on 2B Outfit When You Have it Already.

[HyoMinPark]

What is the mess of bull crap I've been told. You can still roll on a piece of 2B gear even tho you have it already?

Anyone caught doing this should be banned immediately. Letting this even be a thing is asinine. This better be patched real soon.

I mean, I agree that people shouldn’t be able to NEED roll on the coffers if they already own the gear. But banning someone for it? Bit excessive, don’t you think?

I think it would be best to somehow tie the item to an achievement of sorts—and allow players to purchase multiple copies from the Calamity Salvager. I’ve read about some people wanting multiple sets of the gear so that they can dye them rare dyes, like Jet Black and Pure White.

Can't you set things in different glamour plates and dye them separately? Also, those dyes aren't even that expensive, apparently. Every time someone brings up how something is expensive, all the Big Deal Omnicrafters come out to say they have 30 billion gil and everything is actually really cheap, so who cares? "Wah I don't want to spend a fraction of my gil on dyes so I'm going to make the game less fun for other people"? Hello?

I’m not an omnicrafter and I don’t have 30 billion gil. So my suggestion would be preferable to having to redye the pieces every time I want to swap colors. Also, the Glamour Plates are limited to 15. I don’t think of them as being the best solution versus an ability to just have two separate sets stored in two retainers that you can use whenever without taking up a Glamour Plate slot. Plus, Plates don’t apply outside of city-states...another annoying restriction to work around with them.

pure white and black are very expensive for the average player, just a random guess but I would say they have about 300k gil.

Sorry, but if you've played up to 5.1 and can't afford that, you're doing something wrong. I'm an 'average player' and I can afford a good handful of those before I go broke.

Just because you want to spend the gil on them doesn’t mean everyone wants to. Some people are probably saving their gil on the off-chance they’re lucky enough to get a house. I know I sat on millions to afford both a personal and an FC. And I’m also “an average player”.

just a few days ago I made the new 5.1 glam jacket for someone and they offered me dyes as a reward since he only had 100k gil.

That makes zero sense my dude.

Yeah, I could buy a full set of jet black ... but why would I dump 2mil in dyes on a glam plate? I'd never be able to justify changing that plate as it's got 2mil worth in dye on it that will just go down the drain if I touch it. And now what if I want a red version of the outfit? I gotta have 2 2B glam Plates ...

To put some perspective a small house can run you round 3mil. It makes no sense to dump 2mil on PLATE dye. If you're gonna go big you gotta use common sense and get your gil worth. Gotta have it dyed in the dresser. And if you want the 2 most expensive dyes for it then you gotta get 2 sets.

That's what I do atleast. I'm not rich, so if I like how a rare dye looks on a glam I dye it in the dresser. Try to only use reg dyes or cheaper rares for the plates.

Well, 2B is already jet black to begin with, so you only need one. I agree though, the limited plates, and the cost of dyes in general is the problem. Not even if you just use White/Black. Whatever is dyed in-plate can never be changed unless you want to waste the gil you paid to dye the plate, rather than the piece(s) of gear. I could see me having 2 sets in the future, for White variants.
