    Dye Preview Window + More/Exotic Dyes

    I have Weaver level 50 and we can make 'Unsellable' dyes, but we can trade sell them obviously.
    I have noticed there are only level 30 dyes and 2 of each color.

    Firstly a Dye Preview window should be implemented so you can see what your armor will look like if you apply said dye.

    Also, since item level 70 gear HQ ultimately is on par/better then darklight gear (from what i've heard/read), I think we should have more exotic dyes available to use since these are all able to be dyed.

    Another thing I thought would help would be a 'Request Dye' option where a player could create a market from exotic/normal dyes.

    For instance, say like with level 50 gathering nodes that show up at certain times that have certain materials in them.
    What if certain mobs/bosses dropped certain pigments for dyes at certain times etc.
    Or add certain/exotic pigments to certain Eorzea Time nodes.

    A player could then use these dyes he/she has collected and use them to dye other people's armor for a price (like melding).

    Just a thought.

    I really don't understand why we don't have a preview function - both for gear and for dye. This is one of the most basic UI functionalities in an MMO, and yet somehow it fell through the cracks.

    I also agree we need significantly more dye colors.

    I think being able to dye more than crafting gear at end game is more of a pressing matter but the point is still valid.

    Would be cool with exotic dyes, i'd also like metallic ones, especially if we could get one like the skin from the Sacrifice enemies from XIII(the ones being farmed in this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4iecjObgDM) that's some seriously gorgeous metallic texturing, and maybe a pearl colour like Kan-E-Senna and Raya-O-Senna's staves.

    But yeah, would be better if they looked into making ALL gear dyeable first.

    Pro's of all gear being dyeable:
    - Dye market becoming very profitable
    - Gear more customizable

    Cons:
    - Crafting/Crafted gear lower in value
