Dyeable Gear Request Thread

[Aniya_Estlihn]

At this point, and with the team's admissions and comments that glamour is the true end game, I feel everything should be dyeable. The AF3 sets were dyeable during the media tour, so why aren't they now? It's simply foolish to ask "what" rather than just making it all dyeable in the first place, there's no sense in it not being dyable when the one thing we have to differentiate ourselves from other players is our glamour and dye colours.

That said... AF3 for starters.

Ward Knight's Armor, in a manner where only the blue parts are dyed and the majority of the armor remains white.

[SrahaTia]

The Enhancing Sword and Ritter Shield from Castrum Abania, please- but only the pink flowers should dye, the rest is nice in the white and gold as-is.



(screencaps borrowed from the Eorzea Database, as I sadly don't own this pair yet)

In fairness, the same goes for the other jobs' weapons from this dungeon as well.

I would love to see dyeable versions of the grand company specialty gearsets; I'm specifically talking about the Flame Elite's Loincloth but the other equivalent pieces would be great too!



editing to note that I would like to see the purple part of the loincloth become dyeable -- I don't really want the black part to change with dyes.

The Arhat Striking body piece (or just the Arhat Striking attire in general). The only parts that would need to be made dyeable are the purple parts (thus requiring only the main color and a slightly brighter tone), and perhaps the red-ish waist sashes as well (making them the same as the main color would be an easy solution for those).

Scylla caster/healer sets from Syrcus Tower

I would absolutely adore a dyeable Yanxian/Yasha set. I really like the look of the armored boots, especially as a Monk who -frequently- kicks stuff in the face. However the available color scheme doesn't match terribly well with a lot of stuff.

All the sets I would want to dye have already been recommended, but three things I want to say-

One: Please quit making sets where the cloth and the metal both dye. It makes it so that some sets look garbage if they are dyed any color that's not a natural metal tone, most of which are boring neutral colors which look boring on the cloth portion(grayscale and light yellows/browns). The choice therefore becomes gaudy un-metal metal, or drab cloth segments with real looking metal. I know this can't be fixed in-full without multiple dye channels, but the simple solution is to just make the metal not dye (in a lot of sets this is already the case, more of that!)

Two: Please stop making it so that when gear is dyed it has a sudden drastic texture change. If it looks like smooth cloth but turns to a shiny leather-texture when dyed it becomes way harder to match to outfits. Same is true with some metallic armour being "painted" matte colors instead of retaining its finish. Keep the texture/finish consistent please, nothing sucks more in the glamour game than thinking you found the perfect boots or gloves only for them to become shiny when dyed.

Three: All the desaturated ugly gray-ish color that happens to things like undershirts, leather adornments and sashes almost never looks good. Leave things like that the original color or have them dye the same color as other bits. In general changing only some of the colors on gear with lots of white/black/brown would look nicer in most cases than the weird multi-tone cover-all job. Some gear has this idea down already, like the Scholasticate coat or the astrum silk robe, but other times not so much. If I dye something wine red I want all or part of it to be wine red, not two to four different shades of red one of which is wine red while the others don't match anything.

EDIT: I LIED- MAKE BOGATYR'S CASTING/HEALING SET DYEABLE PLEASE

[Zumi]

Shisui Joi of Fending set. Would love to see this dyeable.
