Gear Dyeing in 2.0

[Molly_Millions]

While I dont have it on hand I am confident that I remember a rep/dev post talking about a larger selection of colors being available and that you may change colors on items that colors have already been modified. I believe one may be found in the live Q/A video, and a rep on our forums talked about it once before.

Yep, I had all the information from that post in front of me. I don't remember anything about dyeing gear any color in the live letter though. I even watched it twice.

Have no fear! While it is not 100% set in stone, the current plan is to allow crafted equipment to be re-dyeable in version 2.0.

Hopefully we can clear up a few of the concerns that came up after the announcement was made.

In regards to dyeing HQ gear and materia-melded gear, dyeing these items will have no adverse affect on their stats. If you dye a +3 gear item, you’ll produce the same +3 gear but in a different color. If you dye gear with materia melded to it, you will have the same gear with the same materia but in a different color.

To dye equipment, simply select the materials and the desired dye from the synthesis menu. Once you begin synthesizing, the synthesis process will be skipped, and dyeing will succeed 100% of the time.

Regarding player requests to have NPCs handle dyeing equipment, we plan on allowing NPCs to dye equipment basic colors and crafters to dye equipment rare colors in version 2.0.
