    Regarding the Volunteer set

    This isn't a complaint thread just a question. I understand the Royal Volunteer set is a remix of the filibuster set but what eludes me is this. Why can't we dye this set? with every re-skin of an old set we're usually able to dye it. so why not this one.

    I'm not upset just kind of disappointed. I was really happy with the style that healers got this time round only to be shut down by the dreadful color scheme....

    The ability to dye gear from dungeons is relatively new and each time they've done allowed it they were original outfits. We've only had two sets, the ones from drowned city of skall and the other from the dungeon where we fight sun kuong wu essentially. Both of these dungeons were during the odd number patches (where they tended to release only one dungeon and I believe the 24 man dungeon).

    Nah, I think those 2 sets are the contest design winner, hence able to be dyed. This re-skin however, is a disappointment, since it's just the recolor. Not that I complain though, since I am never a fan of this outfit.

    The Sirensong Sea sets are dyeable.

    Also I think the real question is why is it called a "volunteer" set... it's ominous if you ask me.

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.

    There seems to be a pattern they (usually) follow. When the original gear is dyeable, the reskin version will be dyeable. The opposite is also true. Here are some examples with their reskins.
    Undyeable: Sohm al/ Antitower, castrum abania/ fractal (hard), saint moccians arboratum/ pharos sirius (hard), baelsar's wall/the burn

    I'm sure there is more, but I can't remember off the top of my head. If heavensward and stormblood are any indication, expect to see many of these sets to be the 61-70 crafted leveling gear where they will become dyeable.
