Question - Armour/Gear

[Silas_Urlas]

Just wondering if it's possible to change the color of acquired gear? (i.e, breastplate is red and pants are green, etc)

[JMadFour]

Eventually as you will get a quest that gives you the "Dye" action. Forgot what level though. 15 i think.

[Silas_Urlas]

Thanks, JMadFour. Do you recall which area that quest is located? Also, is it a class-specific quest?

[JMadFour]

Not class-specific.

I got mine in Vesper Bay, but i started in Ul'Dah. Unsure if we all do the same quest or if there is a similar quest in the other City-States.

Buy Orange Juice from a merchant before you go.

[Silas_Urlas]

But you're sure it's a lvl 15 quest? Can you tell me a little more about the "dye feature" ?

Quest: Color Your World

You can obtain this quest anytime after lvl15 by going to Vesper Bay in Western Thanalan.

The Dye option appears in the General section of your Skills&Actions menu. To use, have a dye ready. You can either buy them from npc vendors in town (dyemonger, and some other merchant names I forget) or craft them. Then select and you can change most crafted items in your inventory. Aetherial, Dungeon drops, and Philo/Myth armor cannot be changed.

It should be noted only certain gear can be dyed, but luckily early on most gear has this ability (dyeable gear has a small coloured circle in it's inventory icon showing what colour it currently is dyed as - it's default or undyed colour is clear).

[Urthdigger]

The only gear that cannot be dyed tend to be "iconic" gear like artifact or darklight armor, or non-aetherial dungeon drops.
