New Dyes?

[kyuven]

So I noticed there was a new selection of dyes in the dyeing window. Jet Black, Pure White, Metallic Gold, and Metallic Silver.
Where do we get these?

[MomomiMomi]

In anticipation of future updates, a new dye category has been added to the dyeing interface.

Can't wait for Pure White. ^^

[Duuude007]

will these apply to chocobos too?

[Azper]

From the patch notes:

"In anticipation of future updates, a new dye category has been added to the dyeing interface."

...so in short, we can't get them yet.

[Eye_Gore]

Was hoping it to being a secondary dye.

[Muzetta]

Prepare all of your gil/mats/whatever, these are gonna be super duper rare as we know when it comes to fashion-related things.

[ruskie]

Considering they are marked as green... you can bet it will be a multi star craft at the least.

[Shioban]

Of course, because SE has to *cough* it up somehow.

Funny how awesome dyes and colors are easily available in other game.... but SE cant let that happen here if there's a chance to cater to the richest players once again.

[sarcasm] God forbid the development team should make some things ""difficult"" to obtain, it's not like we're playing a game or anything. How dare they?! [/sarcasm]


Most things in this game are spoon-fed to us with minimal effort.

It would seem that a lot of people seem to forget this is a game. And for the most part, games offer hurdles or challenges to overcome, in this case you could involve the crafting/gathering classes.



As a lot of people have worked hard to gain 3-star crafters and gatherers this would be a fantastic utilisation of these.

You're missing the point. Gating things that inflict ACTUAL changes upon gameplay is fine. Gating things that have absolutely zero impact upon gameplay, like dye, or another popular topic, AF aug's, is wrong. It's purely visual. It has 0 impact on what you or anyone else does. Creating artificial demand by trying to gate things like this is, well, dumb. Plain and simple. If Yoshi wants crafters to be relevant, why not make it so you don't get gear from Raids and Primals, you get a drop that has to be CRAFTED into a weapon/armor/etc?

Gating COLORS of all the things in the world is atrocious. You want to make those 3* crafters feel important? Make them the only guys who can make new tier weapons when Coil 3 is released.

Please tell me where furniture has an impact on gameplay, yet it requires a higher crafting skill.
Please tell me where Augmented AF impacts gameplay.
Please tell me where Courel Briefs impact gameplay.


Just because it doesn't provide a numeric addition to your 'attribute pool', does not mean that it can't be difficult to obtain.



It adds value and worth to crafters AND to a high demand item.



The item is already showing up as a green icon, that means it's going to be crafter based and most likely a difficult synth or difficult to obtain items, this is how crafters are valued in FFXIV, if you don't like it suck it up.
