Guild Wars 2

When you reach level 6, you get to choose between one of three dyes as a reward, along with the tutorials and whatnot. Unfortunately, it’s always the same three dyes. By the time I had a second character reach level 6 since the NPE, I had already unlocked all three choices on my account. Would it be possible in a future update to tweak this reward so it offers a randomly generated choice of three dyes the player hasn’t already unlocked instead of a static three dyes?

Yeah good idea, instead 3 dyes you can just put one unidentified dye.

This has my vote.

Worth 30 plus silver for a level 6 reward?

That’s one perspective, I can understand that. As a casual who likes to play “dress up” I was looking at it from a different perspective.

I get that. I just don’t think Anet is going to give anyone something for a level six reward that they can sell and buy 30 dyes with. It’s too much reward for too low a level.

The new farm it is!

why not just 3 random unidentified fine level dyes or something (the ones craftable by chef). that should fix the duplicate issue without overdoing the reward. I dont think any of the fine rarity dyes are worth a ton are they?

soulbound/accountbound Unidentified Dye.

kthx Anet.

Yes.

This…..(a normal UID would result in massive farming far beyond old BL key days….)

A new player likely won’t know that, or if he does realize to check it’s price, “welcome to the TP!” It’s only 30s, not really worth farming out, and even then it’d probably drop in price if it were to happen as there would be more in the market from people just running new alts and what not.

Or of course just open up to many more options of random dyes, it’s kinda lame that it stops being a reward you can really use at all after 3 runs through.

Well I don’t understand why someone would go trough the effort of making a character and levelling to 6 for a 30s reward? unidentified dye is the easiest way to solve the issue. Also I have done a few key runs since the patch and 90% of the time so far I got an unidentified dye out of a bag from the personal story rewards. Nothing wrong with giving that to a low level…

I’d just keep making new characters, keep getting dyes…takes 5 minutes to get to level 6 now. I’d farm it all day. Well I wouldn’t because I hate farming but I have friends who would. You could probably make a gold every 15 minutes doing that. 4 gold an hour for pretty much no work.

Well then that would bring the price of them down to a point where it wouldn’t be worth it anymore, thats how economy works. It’s not like unidentified dyes are high in demand….

Because it now takes about 10 minutes to get to level 6. It would just give key farmers an extra 30 silver.

Vayne has a point but op also has a valid point. maybe making it account bound could be an option. Or like OP suggested, you get to choose a colour to unlock only its a randomize selection.

Or you could keep them and use them as forge fodder.

Like how you can get a Black Lion Ticket from the key at the lvl 10 quest and earn yourself 100 gold?

Hmm in the quote I see above it says 5 minutes, now it’s 10 minutes. Really though doesn’t have to be an Unid, make it a random more common dye. Something that still gives a reward after 3 characters would be nice is all. I really don’t see making it an Unid being as bad as you try to make it sound though. Take 10-15 mins, get a reward that was worth 30s, but would likely become less quite quickly. Either way, again the point is after 3 characters you should still get something you can use, right?

I have every single normal dye unlocked on my account. When I make an alt, having an account bound dye, even an unidentified one, would automatically give me a double. Not to mention, many players making alts would run into the exact same problem.

But yeah, it’s a six level reward, it doesn’t matter what they really do with it as long it’s not out of whack with the level.

Instead of just a Random Dye, why not a Random X Dye? Random Yellow, Random Blue, etc. They have those in-game, and they’re not worth as much as the Random Dye on the TP.
