Change the Dyeing Synthesis Recipes

[Rentahamster]

When I first saw how dyed items were created in this game, I was very excited. Unfortunately, the dyeing system has turned out to be more of a club to restrict item creation than it is a tool to open up creatively colored gear.

Yes, it's not a very good outlet for creativity due to the way it is currently structured. It's more restrictive than free, and there isn't any good reason why it shouldn't be more free.

If SE plans to maintain the item coloring as a restriction, then I vote that we just switch to dyeing after the fact instead.

Yes. Whatever the system, I would like to err on the side of more freedom to do what we want since in this circumstance, it promotes variety and creativity.

Dyes and Paints should just be taken out of the finished item crafting process completely. Every item should have a base color its crafted in. Then...

• Alchemists make dye pots that can be sold to players to change the color of gear
• NPC added into game that does the same thing but with a smaller selection of colors and is more expensive {Ding! OMG the game has a money sink!)
• When changing the color of your gear a UI pops up and shows you a preview of what the color is going to do to your gear. You need to confirm the change which consumes the dye.
• You can change your gear color again simply by applying a new dye.
• This system would also allow you to change haircolor, paint and tribal pattern colors.

Yeah, this is like Jinko's Dye NPC idea he posted earlier. You both have very good points.
