Glamour Outfits are embarrassingly badly implemented

[TheDustyOne]

My personal suggestion: instead of having individual dye items, have it so you dye items using only the base pigment materials you use to craft dyes now (i.e. "red pigment" would get you any shade of red, from rolanberry red to dalamud red), and the current specialty dyes require a second pigment item (call it, idk, "general-purpose dye intensifier" or whatever) that drops or is purchased from all the same places green-tier dyes drop now. Basically, it ensures the economy wouldn't completely collapse from the loss of a major market, but also means all normal quality dyes will be equally accessible, and all green-tier dyes will be as easily accessible as the currently easiest to obtain ones, driving down their average price *immensely*. I'd be surprised if that green-tier item would cost more than 10k a piece, which is still quite a lot, but is also, like. a fiftieth of the price of pure white or jet black dye at present, and cheaper than a lot of green-tier dyes are now.

I've suggested similar in the past; either way I want them to make Jet Black / Pure White to be less of a pain to get in the process. I'd still prefer a dye log system myself, but a singular Red Dye that can be anything from Dalamud to Rose, Salmon, or Wine would be something I'll gladly take over what we have now.

Agreed. Pieces should be dyeable after becoming a set, and we should be able to store all pieces of the set, including different versions of a specific part such as legs. Having the rest of the set repeated is quite a bother when browsing the dresser.

Also, it would be good to have an option to hide specific glamor pieces. For example, a set might have a hat that you will never use but will show up when browsing your stored glams.

Reason this feature is possible is becuase this won't put any stress to the server or data capacity of each char.
If what you said was possible we would get way more slots in dresser in the first place.

So basically what they did was add new item that you can exchange with all set of gear which you can equip to multiple gear slots.
What they can possibly do is to add dye channel to these so you can dye the entire set.

common makai gear is an outfit from the gold saucer, the makai gear from the priest that is dyeable isn't.

I like it as it saves a ton of space in the dresser, the fact it can't store dye sucks, but just leave those ones out, any other sets that I haven't slapped expensive dyes on are condensed to save space.

Looking forward to them expanding it to include higher level gear, just being able to store artifact gear as one slot will save me a ton of space.

I know people who like to sell them will strongly disagree but I think dyes requiring a consumable needs to be removed. It should be you acquire it once and then you have access to that dye.

If they REALLY wanted to have a middle ground maybe require that dye to have been used once for each gear piece slot. But once you've used a dye on a gear type you should have it forever.

They sell rare dyes for real money, so the odds of them doing that are slim.

I'm holding out hope that this is a similar situation to when they first released the Glamour Dresser and you couldn't even retrieve items you put in there that they eventually changed. Maybe one day glamour outfits will be able to be dyed and/or it will resemble a proper glamour log.

I guess the degree to which you use the "dye in the dresser" feature would determine how you feel about the update. It definitely allows one to have more items in the dresser, but it is kind of a roundabout way to do that.

A full collection based system (log?) would be preferable, but I've kind of lost hope for that. The FFXIV team seem to be content with just adding on to existing systems rather than creating band new systems. That said, the armoire pretty much is a collection based system. It does require you to put stuff in it, but it seems just be a checklist of things you have. I have not seen any evidence that there are limits to the amount of items that can be storable. They keep adding more and they recently added a huge amount of shop items. I would say make everything storable (maybe improve the interface too) and let the glamour dresser be the place to put dyed duplicates.

The dye system is rather weak anyway. They seem to have specifically made dyes that rarely match colors actually used in clothing, then if you dye everything to "match" some items dye poorly. They also made some really odd choices with the double dye system.
