Guild Wars 2

For armour mainly, since thats the only piece that applys here. When salvaging with a black lion salvage kit, or the last tier salave kit (Including mystic salvage kit) you have a small chance to recover the dye(s) from that piece. Only works for pieces that are Master quality or up and only works on gear that is not soulbound (So you can’t buy some expensive dye, put it on some cheap master set and possibly gain 5 gold out of it.) You can’t dye any armour you arn’t wearing anyways so there is no way to abuse it. All this would do is add a little bonus for salvage kits.

I guess gear that is made or found would have to come with a dye on it to begin with so previewing gear that isn’t soulbound would show what dye it has in it. That way you can see what potential reward you can get for salvaging it. It sounds like this would just hurt the economy more but salvaging gear means that piece won’t be in the Trade Post so theres a less consistent profit already (Salvaging exotics and rares is usually less profitable than just selling the piece so not much money to make) and like I stated, a small chance. Nothing that would make spamming this promising.

Its not a bad idea but there is a major flaw. How do you know if it has a dye color? Reason i ask this is these items default to what ever your default color for that slot is. Theres a very few cases, 1 for myself other than my HoM gear personally out of over 2000 pieces of gear, that its had a color i’ve not had and it was in a slot that i have never used. Thing is when i equiped it the color was actually there even though i dident have it.

Well thats where part 2 came into play. Gear that is Master quality or higher and hasn’t been worn yet would come with a base dye(s) on it. You can still preview gear before it is soulbound so thats how you visually see as for knowing what color dye that is, its based on judgment. The higher quality dyes have a very small chance to show up on them but for how many rares and master quality pieces people find a day, it would still show up often. The key is to make Salvaging these pieces not a core profit so very low chance to recover the dye. Some pieces can have up to 4 dyes so thats 4 chances at an expensive dye like white or abyss or celstial. Perhaps the quality of the base dye(s) would get less and less for every availible slot of dye the piece has. Also AreaNet to do this could combine some cool color combinations for us to try out. No sense in mixing purple and yellow hues.
