Guild Wars 2

I can guess this has been brought up before…but replying on the most recent thread about it, would just be a necro.

Could there be some way to have a dye transfer? Maybe an item to re-bottle the dye, but it remains account bounded, so it doesn’t end up back on the market. then it can be easily transferred between characters. I know a lot of people would like this. (And in my case, as long as it’s cheaper than paying 20+ gold for an abyss dye, I’d buy it.)

When I started I was one of the lucky few to actually find the rare Abyss dye. I was under the impression that dye was able to be used on the entire account, and not bound to one character. So I unlocked it for my mesmer, thinking I’d get to use it on my thief. Nope…Now the only way I can get Abyss dye again is to make the gold to buy it. I don’t even want the abyss dye for my mesmer.

I’d rather dyes just unlock account wide.

This please. k thanks.

I can bet they won’t do that because it’ll hurt the market.

Not that I’d disagree with it….didn’t Anet mention they’d be account based in the first place?

I’m not sure why people want this so bad aside from the obvious “I want things and I want them for less” mentality. The dye market would be pretty stagnant if people only had to buy a color once for their whole acct. It’s pretty clear in the game descriptions and documentation that dyes are for a single character so I if someone wants to earn it on more than one character, they’d need to put in the work/gold/etc. Seems fine to me as it is.

Because I don’t like the idea of having to spend 15 gold for every character I’d like to have good black on them, mostly.

There would be a market impact for account wide dyes. The cheap dyes aren’t a problem, and there’s a lot of forgiveness for newbie mistakes ingame already. My first thought was I’d just get another Abyss dye later. Then I saw its pricetag. Hm…

Mistakes happen. It’d be nice if there was something to undo it, instead of forking over plenty of gold for cosmetics. I’m still new-ish, and the gold I do have now isn’t going into abyss dye funds yet.
