Changes to Gear Dying

[HoolieWho]

I'm kinda hoping that they will make all current dyed gear into Undyed with stat bonuses, although there's ample time between now and the patch to get some undyed gear and prepare materia for it.

I like this idea. I doubt it will happen though.

To answer questions we've seen pop up. You won't be required to use HQ dye to dye an HQ piece of gear. NQ/HQ dye will be able to be used in both instances.

What will happen to the stats of the currently dyed gear in 1.20?

Stats will remain the same as they are currently.

Posted this on the JP side - imo they should separate Dying and Crafting all together.

1. Crafters make the base equipment
2. Gatherer collects the color items
3. Anyone can Dye the equipment through system like:
   1. Going through NPC
   2. From item screen choosing the equipment and have new option to dye (I prefer this one personally)

And have a screen like this one (sorry it's in JP jut says dying, dye, cancel, required color items)






This way it wont interfere with materia attached to the equipment or HQ/NQ quality of the equipment.



Kind of dumb how NQ equipment can become HQ item just by dying imo, at same time the equipment shouldn't lose the materia attached because of dyeing.

Thats magical :O
Hopefully they will take note of this

I'm still left with a ton of questions.

I'm still confused as to whether or not we'll be able to dye items that are currently coloured. Some people say it's been answered, but either I missed the post entirely - or it's right under my nose and I'm not seeing it. I haven't seen any definitive "yes/no" answer, but please quote and/or point me to it if it's there.

They've said we'll only be able to dye items once, but does this apply to items already dyed before 1.20? Or is it a rule that will take effect after the patch. Will I be able to dye my Cobalt Cuirass (Red) a different colour? It would be nice to know if I need to start gathering up new materias and catalysts and sets of armor to be able to dye my gear.

It would also be nice to know if the ability to dye gear will apply to items crafted before 1.20, or if the dyes can only be applied to items crafted after 1.20. Will colour palettes still be restricted by item, or will all the current color dyes be usable on crafted gear?

And last but not least, I'm assuming that "rare" items will not be able to be dyed? The Silver Tricorne, for example.

Hi Rukkirii,

Excellent news!

It's good to know that we won't be losing our Bonus Stats from Color Gear we already own after this next patch.

Thank you for the clarification, Rukkirii. ^^

Seems like they should just get rid of HQ dye since the end result is the same regardless what you use.
