What about 250 for a Legendary item? Will that be changed? If I need 50 more for a Legendary, and you don’t tell us how (if) that will change, and before the 15th I go buy the remaining 50 I need with laurels and then you come along and say, “Surprise, you just need loaves of bread now in it’s place!”, do you think that’s terribly fair?

“When you unlock a dye after the feature pack is released, all characters on your account will have unlimited access to that color.

If you already have the same dyes unlocked on multiple characters, when you log in on additional characters, you will receive one unidentified dye for each duplicate dye already unlocked on your account."

So does this mean, in order for us to make a dye account unlocked, we must buy the color and unlock it, and if we already had it unlocked on individual characters then we get an unidentified dye for each old character locked dye of that color?

So we must once again purchase a single dye of every color we want regardless of how many characters already have it unlocked?

No, that Charred Dye will be available to all 9 characters on patch day.

Any unlocked dyes within a character’s dye panel are being merged into one account panel. IE – get colors now before prices skyrocket (they already are).

Any duplicate unlocked dyes within character panels will be compensated with 1 UNID dye bottle to a player’s inventory for each duplicate color found.

All dyes on your characters will be converted to account-wide. Any duplicates across characters will pop an unidentified dye into your inventory (for a chance at another color). Any dye used after the feature patch is implemented is also automatically account-wide.

By the wording it uses, it sounds like you must unlock dyes again after the patch goes in. Then, after unlocking that color to the account, logging in with a character has its unlocked dyes scanned to see if an account unlock match is found and then you get the unid dye.

Example:

  • Midnight Ice currently unlocked on 10 characters
  • Patch hits
  • No previously unlocked dyes become account unlocked
  • Must buy and activate/unlock a new Midnight Ice into the account unlocked dyes
  • Log in a character that had Midnight Ice unlocked for it and you get an unid dye

That is my understanding based on their wording. Nowhere does it say existing dyes unlock that color for the account. It says unlocking new dyes adds colors to the account unlocked dyes.

So:

  • Act as if no dyes are currently unlocked
  • Unlock the dyes you desire (buy a new one and ‘use’ it)
  • Log in each character.
    For each character that has a dye that you have added to your account unlocked dyes you get an unid dye.

The wording isn’t clear, but I think that they would have made a clear, obvious distinction if they made the system have everything pre patch, be soul bound. It would create too much hassle, in my opinion.

In that scenario, they would be keeping track of XYZ characters with these dyes marked as soulbound. Then player unlocks it account wide, which changes that specific soulbound dye to account bound, keeping the rest soulbound.

As for the

“When you unlock a dye after the feature pack is released, all characters on your account will have unlimited access to that color.”

That could also be interpreted as, instead of the current way of dyes. After the patch hits, blahblahblah will be the new way.

No. Read it again:

If everything reset with the patch, it would make no sense for them to make the whole “unid dye pop into inventory” thing because nobody would ever be able to get the same dye twice.

“When you unlock a dye after the feature pack is released, all characters on your account will have unlimited access to that color.”

Bold.

Reread what I posted ^^

Keep in mind that the new dye system has all the dyes you’ve unlocked on your account. So, for each duplicate that you have unlocked you will get unidentified dyes.

Since the new dye collection has all your account unlocked dyes, and unlocked means you can use it, no need to get it twice again, you get unids for DUPLICATES, the original dye stays inside.

If it was different the wording would’ve been: for each dye you have unlocked you will get unid dyes.

Any word on the price of the Wooden Sword? That was my favorite sword skin up until now .-.

“When you unlock a dye after the feature pack is released, all characters on your account will have unlimited access to that color.

If you already have the same dyes unlocked on multiple characters, when you log in on additional characters, you will receive one unidentified dye for each duplicate dye already unlocked on your account."

So does this mean, in order for us to make a dye account unlocked, we must buy the color and unlock it, and if we already had it unlocked on individual characters then we get an unidentified dye for each old character locked dye of that color?

So we must once again purchase a single dye of every color we want regardless of how many characters already have it unlocked?

That sucks because last week my brother went for the Charred dye for 90 gold, now it’s gonna be locked to 1 toon when it could have been to all 9 of them.

All the dyes you already have will become account bound. But if you have a dye on 2 characters you will get 1 unidentified dye, 3 characters 2 unids etc.

I didn’t understand this at all, but if you’re right, that’s awesome!

(Also, guess who’ll probably be getting 200+ unid’d dyes when they log in on April 15th :| ) lol

Basically, from my understanding is thus:

I have Celestial on both my ele and my mes at this time. When I log onto my ele, Celestial now becomes account bound and available to all of my characters. When I log onto my mes, Celestial is already known and cannot be added again to my account bound colors. To compensate, I will get a free unidentified dye. If I had Celestial on say my necro, I would get another unidentified dye, since I already have that color in my palette.

That help?

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

The video does imply that all dyes currently unlocked will be unlocked for the entire account. But the blog is worded differently. So I’m not sure which is more reliable.

I don’t see a video on the dye page. Where are you seeing this video detailing the dye changes? I’ve only been going off of their blog posts.

The video there. At the end, it talks about the dye system.

Unless an individual has English as a second language (which is entirely possible for a global game), I see no confusing vocabulary in the sentences.

Parse it out by paragraphs, and you’ll see the difference between the now and the then.

Blog

One of the biggest changes we’re making is that dyes will no longer be unlocked per character but per account instead. When you unlock a dye after the feature pack is released, all characters on your account will have unlimited access to that color.

That’s the THEN. That’s what will happen on Patch Day.

Blog

If you already have the same dyes unlocked on multiple characters, when you log in on additional characters, you will receive one unidentified dye for each duplicate dye already unlocked on your account.

This is the part that pertains to the NOW. Note the word “duplicate.” That’s only referring to each additional dye of the same color, which means, the original and/or first dye of that color is saved. Also, see the word “already.” Since it’s the first time a character has logged in on the patch day, there’s no other way that dye could be saved, unless the dye lists of all the characters were merged BEFORE the the duplicates were counted.

Bottom Line: If you unlock it now, before patch day, you WILL have it for ALL characters on Patch Day.

Lanfear’s explanation up above is correct.

“We also made some changes to the dye system. All the dyes are now account bound, so all of the dyes you’ve collected on each of your characters is available for use.”

It explicitly states in the Wardrobe Feature YouTube video that it’s retroactive.

Aw come on! Thank you Lilith. I hadn’t watched the wardrobe video yet as I figured it only dealt with the wardrobe as it was on the wardrobe changes blog post and that any video having to do with the dye changes would be put on the dye changes blog post. Logic and all…I have to stop expecting it. :\

Thanks again!

I wonder what that one bottle of abyss dye I have sitting in my bank will go for now…

Any plan that involves dead quaggans is, by design, foolproof. I’m an unmitigated genius!

There should be a trading post app or api for things like this dye price fluctuation. If there isn’t one already. Or buying and selling items in general for that matter.
