Changes to Gear Dying

[Sorel]

So when is 1.20 patch supposed to be coming again?

Am I the only one surprised the title of SE's post wasn't something like "Gear Changes You Were Dying For"?

I don't get it...why not leave the gear alone and just let the whole dyeing system not have anything to do with stats. Everyone knows as much as we want it to be easy its not going to be. Felt Robe will still have only 1-2 colors instead of the 8 different dyes available.

Felt Robe + Red Dye = Felt Robe (Red)
Felt Robe + Green Dye = Felt Robe (Green)
Felt Robe + Pink Dye = Felt Robe (Pink)
etc etc etc...

Leave the stats alone, thats what materia is for.
If anything just have two completely different body pieces.

Felt Robe gives you MND while Felt Cowl gives you MATT while Felt Bliaud gives you MACC or just have one piece gives you a little bit of each appropriate mage stat. It will be easy to identify. If you see someone wearing a cowl there is prolly some sort of MATT build going on there. A robe will probably be a WHM and then just use the dyes to mix up the colors a bit so not everyone looks the same. Blah blah blah my head hurts again....

Uh... they are separating stats from color. There will be an intermediate step now that will give the bonuses that were previously given by color, so you could, for example, upgrade your Felt Robe into the Magic Attack or MND version and after that dye it to whatever color you like.

If the Blue Cobalt Cuirass in the picture is any indication we will have free reign to use whatever colors we like.

Can you make up your mind SE? I swear, sometimes i think they sit around a table and roll dice. The one who wins the dice roll decides what get's implemented and how. Then after it's live and is a disaster, they fix it.

If this continues we will not see 2.0 before 2020.

A simple Yes or No answer from the Devs would be nice since it is still unclear.

Question: Will we be able to dye ANY undyed gear to ANY color we want?

Just a straight yes or no please (from the Devs). It will end speculation and possibly kill dreams >.>

Not a dev but I believe that's a no for now. I know Yoshida said they eventually want to have everything in every color but because of how the game sees items of different colors, it's a bit complex. Essentially right now two of the same items in different colors are treated as completely different items. I think the point they're trying to get to is where the color information doesn't designate them as completely different items, but still allows them to be different colors.

Erm... your "what it should be" is what the 2.0 dyeing sounds like, they just won't be able to do it with how the game handles items currently. And the 1.20 dying system isn't that far off, just missing the "being able to dye already-dyed items". They haven't finalized the naming system of the stat-boosted items so we would probably see them get their own names.
