    This would be amazing for us, but really bad for SE. Some dyes are only available through the mogstore. If you could stack colors to achieve a pure white dye or pure black dye then you wouldn't need to spend $10 on one set of dyes.

    Good point and one I hadn't considered. I guess it would depend on how much money SE is making from certain dyes from The Mogstore vs the goodwill they would generate if they enabled dyes to be stacked.

    I've run into that myself. Sometimes, the dye is influenced by the base color of the item, and sometimes, you just want to tear your hair out because there is no rhyme nor reason to it.

    People can get those dyes from Retainer ventures or just straight up buying them off the marketboard.

    That means the only limiting factor to getting those dyes is 'how often do you play, and can you earn gil'.

    It boils down to two things:
    A) Are you willing to spend 20 minutes a week to make ~2m/week for free (Island sanctuary is 1.2m/week for 5 minutes work every wednesday)
    B) Do you have enough of an understanding on how to make Gil from the marketboard.
