I realize that it was stated that you were suppose to have a color palette for your characters.. and not get them all.. but I cannot do that!

I started out on a ranger and had a pretty extensive dye collection. I shelved her and made a mesmer- who I love and have made my main. I have every dye on her now. I have no idea why I feel the need to do this, nor do I use all the colors. I think I just feel that I might like the color at some point so I need to have it on her.

Anyway now I have tried to make other alts but it bothers me that they have no colors, but at the same time I do not feel like investing the gold in them like I did my mesmer. In a way it makes me not want to play the alts.

Is there anyone else that feels this way? I know it is weird lol but I just can’t help it :P

The unlocked dye library should be account wide. Unlike other things such as Bag Slots, the dye collection takes a large amount of resources (time, gold, and/or gems) to complete. I believe dyes should fall into the same category as unbound gear and dungeon tokens, in that obtaining them on your main should make playing your alts more enjoyable.

What I normally do is buy the colors I know I will want and then use unid dyes on the characters that find them. I have purchased celestial for 2 characters now though so I feel your pain on this.

Yeah it starts out as colors I think I would like but seeing a dye tab with so few colors just seems wrong lol.

I would almost like to see two tiers here – with unlocked common dyes shared account wide while rare dyes are only per character. I think it’s still important the ‘rare’ items and colors and things remain rare in the game or they lose their specialness.

Golemancy 101: total and complete catastrophic
failure is still a monumental success, assuming
losses remain within acceptable parameters.

That is a good point, and a good compromise. Props.
