Hello, adventurers.
With the changes to the dying process of recipes spread today, I was hoping that in 1.20 we would also get more color variations and finally be able to dye our gear how we wanted to. But it seems like it won't be possible yet.
Particularly, Yellow, that is my favourite color in Eorzea, is a dye that can still be used in few recipes. For instance, I could dye the Raptorskin Workboots in yellow, but that will be the only piece of my gatherer set to be of this color, and I would like to have every piece of equip of the same dye, a dye that I like.
Now I've a Woolen Gown (Purple)... I chose this color because it looked more particular than the others, but it doesn't really suit my Spirit. I would like to be able to dye my equipments in Yellow, but the data seems to be missing.
My gear is all in different colors because the one that I want is not there. I don't know how many adventurers might understand this, but the color of the clothes also define the character. At least, that is for me, and for this reason I always wanted to have every equipment in Yellow... but leveling up, this color just seemed to end like the dinosaurs.
Another example: the Woolen Shirt is at the moment only available in Purple as an alternate color, and in 1.20 Red and Grey will be introduced. Why is it always these colors? Red, Grey, Black, Purple, Brown... Yellow just seems left out too often.
Also, the color Pink seems to be completely gone and you have to use old recipes to create it. Yeah, there's Purple, but not as many sets as Pink had before. What about all those Roegadyns that would like to create their brand new pink sets??
So... Are there plans to introduce new color variations? I'm not talking about completely new colors (Yoshida mentioned them for the future, if I'm not mistaken), but just giving us the chance to dye our equipment of the color that we desire.
In patch 1.20, I still won't be able to create the gear of the color that I want. I'll live with it as I did until now, but, since in the past I could create Yellow equipments, I would like to know if and particularly when (after 1.21?) this will be made possible again.
As Yoshida said, many of the contents of the next year in Eorzea can be enjoyed only once, and this might apply for leveling up as well: You can do it only one time with your favorite Classes and, talking about crafting (and gathering, post level 27), I've always been doing it with equipments created by myself, yes, but not of the color that I wanted (character's identity). In 1.20 I though this would be fixed for good, but it won't. So... When will it be fixed?
Thanks if the community reps could shed some light.
