When dyed gear STAYS dyed?

[RiversideGuy]

Hmmm, not sure it went into the regular dresser or the armoire (my bet is I have no choice where it goes, right?). BUT the item was NOT glamored and WAS dyed and lost it hitting the storage. No, I never took the item out of the dresser. Better check where it is next time I log. The last dye I applied was to it from my character page after I implemented the plate it was part of. Somehow I'd guess one way or the other, I'd get the short stick.

But if I dyed it right to the plate, it would stay there even if I changed some gear in that plate, right?

The armoire only accepts a limited amount of gear (level 50 relics and seasonal gear, mostly) and does not remember dyes. The dresser can store anything *including* armoire-eligible gear, which allows you to store it with a dye applied, but with the downside of taking up a storage slot in the dresser.

Dyeing from your character menu after applying the plate is definitely going to lose the dye in the long run. The important thing to understand is that you do not equip the plate itself, you copy it onto your gear. When you press the button to apply it to your gear, the system edits the information on your gear that says "display as gear piece X, colour Y" and that is the end of the plate's involvement in the process. If you then apply colour Z to the gear piece, that is not transmitted back to the plate.

Dyeing the item on the plate will make it permanent as long as that specific item remain on that specific plate. You can change other things on the plate without affecting it. But that plate will be only place where the dye is linked to the item.

The better place to dye the item is in the main list of the glamour dresser when you first open it up, before you go into the plate editing menu. Items here will keep their colour permanently and can be added to as many plates as you like. Once you dye it there, you can edit your plate and update it with the newly dyed version of the item.
