Dye-able AF Disappointment.

[Talshara_Blade]

I think someone needs to make a FREE AF DYE OR RIOT thread! Seriously it was the single thing I was looking forward to in this patch and has been the biggest disappointment since ARR was launched so far! It is nothing but a ridiculous money/time sink made to look like new content and I can't fathom the reasoning behind why something that could have been so simple and so enjoyable was made to be this convoluted nonsense!

I now have no intention of even attempting this now even the Atma grinding seems more reasonable compared to this.

Mattlex, you are so right, this was the coolest part of the patch I was looking forward to also ... and now I've gotten ALC geared enough to make this if I use control food but still couldn't even afford to start ...

This was sooo damn lame of them T.T

Square dropped the ball. No reason to make dyable AF so expensive/time consuming to do. Should've been like darklight where you could do it right away.

This still sucks they decided to make this so complicated but im not even that upset anymore. I wanted to dye the dragoon AF but now that I have seen it on some people I now know it looks terrible no matter the color you choose. The glowing parts end up clashing with your dye.

Looking at the dyed AF1 DRG armors from the preview screens SE posted, I didn't like the way they looked. Reminded me of giant crayons walking around.

But I've got my PLD AF1 chest and boots dyed (black of course), and I'm happy with the results.

I saw a DRG with AF gloves/body/boots and some other pants all in red and it looked pretty cool. But ... BUT he also said he spent about 4 million gil to do it ... SCREW THAT NOISE ... they need to update the description in the patch notes to reference the absurdity of it all.

Trying to get players to spend all their gil in this patch before personal housing hits.


Working as intended.

Cost me about 1.5 mil to buy the ingredients to make 4 Temple augmentations. The Temple MNK set looks amazing in black. White is pretty disappointing.

I'm not going to complain about the grind to get the material or gil to buy /make the items required (not after finishing the atma grind finally). Though it seems a bit silly to me for it to cost as much as it seems to. I have all of my crafts to 50 and mainly for the benefit of the FC I am in. Sadly given my play time an the sudden sky rocket in crafting materia I've found it moot point to be at such a level in all of my crafts due to being unable to unlock the master books.

You can say this was to make crafting or Alch in particular useful.. but to be honest I see more people running about with shoulder glows then reworked old AF gear. As far as I can tell the glow effects for the gear is far cheaper then bothering with the AF sets.. so guess what people are mostly spending their gil/time getting. :P

As far as my thoughts on this.. I would love to make my warrior AF set dyable.. I've seen a few of them used very well. But I think I'll toss it up on the back burner as something I'll do if I ever manage to meld my gear to craft the 3-star items needed to unlock the mastercraft books or till the price has dropped enough to where I won't go broke buying it. ~shrugs~

With my server's mat prices, augmentations are down to 500k each on my server on the MB. That's 3.5m for a full set, hardly breaking the bank for people with tons of cash. And those prices are still dropping. Myth materials now cost almost nothing. It's the Philo materials that are really driving up the price. I kinda wish they took ALL myth mats instead of 3.3 myth and 2 philo. 5.3 myth mats would be cheaper, about 100k to make on my server vs the 300k-ish it currently is! Hell, I'm going to start telling people to bring me the mats, and I'll craft them for 50k each. That'll cost you 350k each, so 2.45m for a full suit. MUCH less than the 7m they used to cost, and much cheaper than a crescent moon pajamas set or a sea breeze set or a coeurl swimsuit set, and those last two are only two pieces.
