Do you need to use pure white/black dyes?

I have my retainers out constantly and get them so rarely that there is no way I want to waste them on throw away gear. Nor do I want to spend up to 700k on a pot of dye for throwaway gear.

If SE wants up to use pure dyes instead of regular dyes, coupled with the rarity of them, they are definitely trying to encourage cash shop sales which is a step in a dangerous direction and this game is just another doa gold saucer game for me.

If you would have read anywhere in this thread, or else where. It's been answered and shown several times you can achieve the thresh-hold of an 80 score without needing rare dyes.

No, the Snow White and Soot Black Dyes work fine.
Someone on reddit said they were able to use Millioncorn Yellow instead of Metallic Gold for the shoes.

How are the Halonic Rings "Friends to the End"? Because they're Ishgardian and we became allies with them (but only after HW)?

The hint has to do with the House Fortemps insignia on it, and Haurchefant's role in HW. It looks like some hints will be straightforward (like the skirt), while some will be story related like this.

Also, this is an awful set Mr. Masked Rose, your taste is terrible.

Maybe he can't see so well through that mask...?

I tried it with the Eternity Ring, the Gridania Ring, and Meteor Survivor Ring, and all of them got Bronze.

It's not the name of the ring, it's the House Fortemps crest on it. The family that took us in during the events of Heavensward.

Now I see it.
That's not very beginner friendly, seeing as you'd have to have played HW and gotten to at least 3/4 of the 3.0 story. :B

On male, all snow white, no rare dyes:





For the second the hat is Shire caster hat, skirt is doman skirt (centurio, ishgard)

You can use a ring from Dusk Vigil as well, which is pretty close to the beginning of HW.

Managed to get an 82 using no rare dyes and pretty cheap clothes. Whole thing cost me about 20k in mats (I crafted the shirt myself.)



Songbird's Hat- Snow White
Falconer's Shirt- undyed
Plain Long Skirt- Soot Black
Bridesmaid's Sandals- Honey Yellow
Ishgardian ring from Dusk Vigil

Everything else is just what I happened to have equipped/glamoured before.

As an added bonus, a couple of shots of the bonus rewards available from the assistant for anyone curious.

She can't believe she only got an 82! (emote: Aback)


And the Mummer's Wardrobe furnishing (dyable)


She also sells several vendor dyes and an orchestrion roll.

Just the item's rating. Gold seal is perfect, red seal is 4 stars, blue is 3 stars. Dunno about other colors.
