Dye box: a sensible suggestion

[Raikai]

So, I was leveling the gathering jobs and couldn't help but notice a slight struggle in my inventory because all the mats... Then I realized that 1/4 of it is only occupied by dyes! And I don't even have a lot of colors...

So here I come with a suggestion: a dye box for the paints. Somewhere you can store them all without not occupying half of your useable space.

Or at least maybe let the glamour dresser pick from dyes stored in your retainer inventories? Maybe?

You only need a few pigments to make all the non-rare dyes in the game, so I wouldn't say a dye box is a very high priority (though not a bad idea).

A TACKLE box for fishing tackle is very, very much needed though.

I meant the box not as a crafting QoL, but as a storage unit for the whole dye collection... Because dragging them out of the retainer inventories every time you want to dye something is a bit of unecessary hassle..

So kinda like how GW2 does it? (I kinda like the GW2 way of doing it and would so like it here, but FFXIV doesn't seem to like things like it. WoW's Transmog system and GW2's dyes would be great.)

Or you could just sell them for gil, then buy them with gil when you actually need a dye.

I'd love some sort of "currency tab" for dyes. They use a lot of space but I don't wanna get rid of them. Or make that "currency tab" sort of thing an addition to the dresser so we can put all the dyes there.

Honestly.... I'd prefer they just did away with dyes entirely as consumable items and turned them into unlockables that you then just pay a little gil every time you want to dye an item. Could be something really simple like: You completed Halatali, you unlocked Halatali Yellow dye, and as things went on perhaps things got harder, like you have to have completed Alexander Savage to unlock metallic gold dye.

As it is certain colors have inflated costs entirely because of their rarity (I'm thinking specifically of jet black and pure white) and have no reason from a game display standpoint to need to be rare or expensive other than so that people who want a lot of it can buy it for real world money.

They could just simplify the dyes like what they did with the Glamour Prisms. Doesn't necessarily need to be just one dye for every single one but it could be one red for all the shades, one blue for all the shades etc, you get the idea. Possibly keep the General Purpose dyes individual like they are now seeing as they are supposed to be somewhat rare.
