Items where the 2nd dye channel needs an adjustment.

[Eloah]

We were all excited for the 2nd dye channel, and for the most part it delivered. But, there are several items where the 2nd channel doesn't seem to make sense. Like the tiniest detail is what dyes, not a different aspect of the item.

Two of the biggest ones I've noticed are the Adventuring Sweater; the scarf doesn't dye, only a tiny tassel on the scarf. And the Tonberry body. A lot of people were waiting for the 2nd dye channel, so they could get the head and the tail to match colors. Sadly, that isn't the case, the strap of the lamp dyes. Not the worst thing, but people wanted to dye the tail so bad.

Are there any other pieces that we should as SE to try and change, to better suit the 2nd channel.

I just wanted to say I support this topic because I'm tired of the 2nd dye option for the metal parts, buttons, or tiny fabric design lines on my pants.

The fireglass leather jacket is questionable in its second dye. Why would I want to dye the little pouch and not the undershirt? Or the collegiate shirt's second dye being ONLY the tie... ???

It feels to me that every gear piece has 15 dye channels. The first one is the primary color, but the rest are unsorted.
So sometimes the 2nd channel is the color of a zipper, sometimes a scarf, sometimes a button- and SE went "let's make the 2nd also dyeable" without checking what the hell was being dyed. Because some of these 2nd colors are plain ridiculous.
A button? A zipper? A gem? Really?
If they fix this, the system has potential, but it was released in a very questionable state.

For majority of the old items they added the second dye channel to, it appears they only added it to parts that weren't dyed originally. Prior to DT, dyeable gear would have more than one part get dyed but those areas would be adjusted to appear lighter or darker. I guess they didn't want to change that and possibly upset people that prefer how it originally dyed so the second dye only new parts.

I would of preferred if they made more meaningful changes. A lot of old gear looks so bad when dyed because of the lighter/darker shades, it would of been nice if that was changed.

Its hilarious seeing them add a second dye channel and a bunch of the items just let you dye like a 2 inch piece of cloth on it instead of the rest of the outfit.

Already made a thread about this, but the Bastion Coat (lv100 GNB AF)'s second dye channel not affecting the red accents comes off as incredibly lazy and severely limits what can be done with the piece.

It feels to me like they only wanted to add dyability to pieces, rather than altering what already dyes and leaving it overall as dyable as it was before. Something like the Hannish Wool Autmn Shirt, I was expecting the corset to be dyable separately on channel 2, while the shirt remained channel 1. But, instead, channel 1 remains as it is, and instead we can dye... the ribbons?

The Fat Cat Loungewear only dying some little toggles, the Southern Seas Skirt dying the button and stitching rather than making the belt a separate channel. The Roegadyn Bodice, I would have loved the shirt to be the second channel so I could leave it white.

Some of them are great, don't get me wrong. But some... It feels like whoever was behind them was just told "idk just add something" so they focused on the "add" part and didn't actually stop to consider what the players might want the second channel to be.

This is literally true, almost. There's 16 color channels and any number of them can have the dye applied to them, and now there's a possibility for a second dye to apply to some of the color channels.

They did say that some items with two dye slots would still have much of the clothing undyeable due to the specific material used, however. The color channels aren't used for the entirety of the gear piece and there will often just be straight up colored textures for complex materials.
