Thread: Gear Dyeing in 2.0

dye should be job of a npc but the gil goes to gatherer. after you gather the dye you can then hand them to a npc and then anyone that wants to dye there gear can gear it at a npc and when it gets to the dye you gathered it will give the gil to you for it. basically like handing in items for seals, exept it works like your ward npc. and it lets people just color there own stuff like most people who like color changing want.

personally i wouldn't mind seeing mmo's get ride of auctions totally and go with this totally. npc's ...set prices. no more undercutting or stuff like that. npc's get the stuff and you buy it from them like in real life. if we don't hand them in we dont' have any in stock.

hahahah i put up a thread on forced npc markets. I think a lot of response where "oh noez i cant make money off of work that isnt mine" BUT there were good points against it like having to then do the same for trades otherwise players will go around it players will then try to find another way) - and then you are really being a tyrant to your players. (in a minor example its like the bazaar people outside of jueno)

I still think the system could work, but perhaps it should be an experiment for anew game where people know what they are getting into - here it might be too alien to be accepted and just get flamed horribly (also some people really do like economies...).

Will this include non crafted items?

Could I make my Sentinel Gauntlets white to go with my Militia Cuirass for example?
Or....
Could I make my Monks AF red stained with the blood of my foes.... (well red dye at least)

If so between this and the vanity announcement character customisation in ARR should be amazing

Please allow us to preview the end-result of our coloring before we do it!

I am really tired of dying things a single color, only to find...
• The leather/metal/cloth trim and/or accesories changed to a completely unrelated color; Ex: Felt Bracers (Blue)
• The color is a shade that I did not expect; Ex: Raptorskin Workboots (Red)
• The cloth got the dye color even though the cloth is barely visible; Ex: Raptorskin Workboots (Yellow).

I literally made every color of every piece of the Raptorskin Jerkin set, just so I could find out which pieces went best together.

I guess the ability to re-dye after you're done makes it more acceptable than it is now, but still...


Edit: Oh! Don't forget to add the ability to return to an undyed color state!
