I would also like to know how do people know if a dye gives a +2 or a +3 and which one is which? I suck at Maths.. xD

They use their alts to find the correct color family. Then use more alts or others to find the correct color by npc dyes, then crafted, then expensive dyes (that's not a expensive yet when they're testing)

They can use a dyable npc buyable lv15 item for lv15 alts to go to gold saucer and check the dyes, they don't need the correct item at that point.

I get that, but my question is how do they actually do the maths to know which dye gives +3 points and which. That's what I want to know. I have several alts but wouldn't know how to do this efficiently so if someone kindly explain it to me I might be able to help with those too

you go in naked except a hat on, dye the hat any kind of red, if you get 2 it's red, if you get nothing it's not red.

repeat through every color family, there are 8 families, black, white, and the next six circles on the dye menu (last one doesn't count).

whatever gets you 2 points is the color family for the head piece for the week. everything in there except one will give you +2, one of them will give you +3, so you try every one till you get the +3.

repeat for every slot that can be dyed.

it's luck and brute force, there's no efficiency that i know of.

Yue in reddit usually shows his tests every week. You can check how he tests each set~

Anyone looking for a cheap last minute outfit, heres what i used.

Weapon - Any undyed
Head - Flat Cap in Coral Pink(lvl 45 wvr recipe, sahagin dye)
Body - Any in any purple
Hands - Any in any purple
Legs - Any in Coral Pink
Feet - Dhammelskin Fringe Boots in any yellow(i meant to buy the serpentskin but got these instead - level 55 and sold by the moogle vendor in zenith among other places... also a ltw recipe)
2nd Ring - Ultima Ring of ____(from minstrels ballad ultimas bane, any classes ring gets gold)
Non-hinted jewelry - Any

That scored me 81 points for an investment of a little over 12k gil(the boots mostly), a handful of level 40 weaver mats, and a couple of ultima runs.
