    What is with all the Undyable gear?

    the dye system is so well done, yet at level 50 its basically good luck finding a single piece of gear you can actually use a dye on.

    What the hell kind of design decision is that? Why cant you dye any gear that is green or higher?

    Only some quest gear and the GC gear can't be dyed from what I've seen.

    Some gear is meant to look unique by design. Dying is mostly for crafted gear. Yoshi-P did say later on he may ease the restrictions on dying for unique gear as newer, better gear comes out.

    Major problem is that many undyeable pieces I've gotten aren't unique in any way. Stock model with its default color scheme. We should at least able to dye anything that looks identical to a fresh piece of crafted/bought gear.

    I understand not being able to dye GC gear; it's a uniform after all.

    I think the drops should be random color and "unless some form of magic prevents it", they should be able to dye.

    But I agree that the "dye-ability" of crafted gear should be utterly limitless.

    Kisses,
