Guild Wars 2

So I was told by a friend that if you have had gotten repeated dyes in the past, Anet will send unidentified dyes based on the repeated dyes that you opened.

However, I logged in today, and I didn’t get anything.

Can someone shed lights on this subject?

You have to log onto each characters and please go to Mist each first time log into your character to acquire the skins.

This only applied to characters that had identified duplicate dyes before the Feature Patch and the change to Dye use and acquisition was released. If you have identified duplicate dyes after that time (April 15th), you will get no replacements. You can, however, sell your duplicate dyes on the TP or throw them in the Mystic Forge for another dye.

Otherwise, you could try contacting CS.

Good luck.

I don’t remember having to go to the mists. I do remember just hopping on and it being in my mailbox. Make sure you have open slots in your mailbox.

Nothing to do with the dyes that I can remember. When the wardrobe came out it was necessary to go to the mists on each character to unlock the PvP skins that each one had equipped.

I thought he just came back to the game after all the changes like i did.

Back to the OP:

The dyes are only given if you’ve UNLOCKED the same dye more than once. Example: I unlocked Heirloom on my Mesmer, my Thief, my other Thief, and my Guardian.
When I log onto my Mesmer, the game stores my dyes and shows them to me. I do not get any unidentified dyes.
When I log onto my Thief, the game sees that I have a duplicated dye unlocked. I get one unidentified dye.
When I log onto my other Thief, the game sees that I have a duplicated dye unlocked. I get one unidentified dye.
When I log onto my Guardian, the game sees that I have a duplicated dye unlocked. I get one unidentified dye.

Now let’s go more in-depth:
On my Mesmer, I have:
Oxblood, Heirloom, Celestial.
On my Thief, I have:
Oxblood, Mithril, Peach.
On my Ranger, I have:
Mithril, Winter Ice, Sage.
On my Guardian, I have:
Winter Ice, Celestial, Peach.

When I log in, for the first time (after the April 2014 Feature Pack Patch), the game stores my dyes. I do not remember if it takes ALL dyes, or just the dyes from my first character. Let’s pretend it’s just the first character. I go onto my Mesmer.

The game unlocks: Oxblood, Celestial, Heirloom.

I log onto my Guardian.
The game unlocks: Winter Ice, Peach.
I get 1 unidye.

I log onto my Thief.
The game unlocks: Mithril.
I get 2 unidye.

I log onto my Ranger.
I unlock sage.
I get 2 unidye.

Does that make sense? (The unlocking part might be all done on my Mesmer, but it makes sense to understand it this way.)

Ok, so I think I do meet the requirements. My rangers have the most dyes, so a lot of repeated ones that I opened, I usually just gave it away. Where will the unidye be? Because I logged into my Guardian, and I don’t see any unidye…

When I say unlocked, I mean had it “bound to the character” since dyes were character-specific before the April Feature Patch. Are you talking about dyes you opened, or dyes you had unlocked (the item was consumed and your character “ate” it).

Dyes that I opened. It would be repeated dyes if I have already unlocked.
Yes, I had quite a few of repeated dyes that I had unlocked already before.

Opening Dyes doesn’t ‘unlock’ them. Only using them on a character would do that. And remember, you must log onto each and all of your characters to find the duplicate dyes that would be mailed to you.

Make sure you delete any old mails and pick up any items waiting for you at the TP, as the game has some issues with queues.

Again, if all else fails, you can contact CS. Good luck.

You didn’t unlock any duplicate dyes. You opened duplicate dyes.

Have you played since April 15th? If so, then this doesn’t apply to you.

On the April 15th patch, dyes were changed from being learned on each character individually, to being learned for your account. If you had learned the same dye on multiple characters, then they’d compensate for that by giving you an unidentified dye for each duplicate your account would have.

After April 15th, dyes are just unlocked for your account, none of this matters since it was to compensate players who had spent resources on getting dyes on multiple characters.
