I was looking forward to becoming a Black Mage. I even dyed some material black in preparation.

Now that I actually became a black mage, I got a hat called the "Doctore's Hat" which I simply must wear because of its stats, however it is undyable being a unique item. YET... It is the identical geometry model to the regular Hempen Hat. Therefore there is no practical reason why it cannot be dyed.

As such, I looked more like a Black Mage *before* I became a Black Mage, and now... I am forced to walk around stupid, wearing a brown hat or else nerf myself just to look like the Black Mage I am, forced to wait another 20 levels or so. It is insanity.

What is YOUR story?
