Dye lv 50 Relic

[ienmity]

Hey guys, I read that dyeing pre-heavensward relics was costly, did they ever nerf or change this? I wanted to dye and glamour my lv 50 relic until I get ilv200 gear.

Thanks,

Ifrius

By "Costly" you mean "finish the Zeta questline" then yes

If you just mean applying the dye to them, then no of course not.

I'll assume he meant the relic armor, the upgraded AF1 set, that you bought for mythology and was i90. If so, yes it can be costly as you need special crafted items to do so.

Are you talking about dying your relic weapon or dying your level 50 job-specific armor?
If armor, its still kind of a pain. The reason being that you must make attire augmentations and trade your old lvl 50 piece along with the augmentation item(s), to an npc in Mor Dhona.
That npc will then give you back the augmented piece. Which is now dyeable, however, its no longer storable.

Crafting the augmentations is the annoying part. While the augmentations vary depending on the job, the materials necessary can still be a bit pricey to get. Some of them use things like Vanya silks, Terminus Putty, etc to craft. Which is why they can be pricey.
You can check what and how many augmentations you need for a specific piece at the NPC Kakalan in Mor Dhona @ 22x 5y.

As for relic weapons, dying them means reaching the last stage of the 2.0 relic quest line (Zeta). Then and only then does the weapon become dyeable.

no longer storable.

I wish they would fix this

The augmentations can be crafted fairly cheaply now. (Though, some servers may have a low supply of augmentations on the MB at inflated prices, so one might need to find a crafter to make them.)
