Per-character Dye List and TP Dye Searching

A pretty simple question really:

One of my main goals in GW2 is to own as many of the dyes as I possibly can, why doesn’t matter, I just want to. :P

From what I can see, there is no way at all to get a list of all of the dyes and see which ones you don’t own – you can only see which ones you do. Seeing as how there are what, 400ish dyes in the game? It would be really, really nice if there was a way to see every dye and which you have/which you don’t per-character.

ATM the collectable tab where all of your crafting drops go would be a perfect way to see which dyes you don’t own – just have a grid of them all either by colour, alphabetically, or rarity, but I just can’t seem to find a feature like this in-game and I have a hard time believing a game with SO many dyes wouldn’t have one.

The other best way to do this would simply be to have an check box in the Trading Post when you’re searching for dyes that says “List only unowned dyes”. Currently it’s annoying to have to go through my 80 or so dyes every time I want to buy a bunch just to make sure I don’t own them already.

If this is in the game already, please do let me know – if not I’m sure it’s a feature that many people would really enjoy, albeit I don’ see it being important enough for them to focus on adding any time soon.

Thanks!

You can find a complete list of dyes on the official gw2 wiki. I just copied and pasted that list into a text file and I can check it by alt tabbing or using another device (tablet or phone) while I’m at the TP.

I agree that it would be better in the future for them to implement a show only unowned dye toggle in the TP.

I also wish that dyes were account based rather than character based but that’s a discussion for another thread.

Yah, making a text document is probably the best idea – thanks for that

Account-wide would be nice too and I would be a supporter of that, but I’m also not outright against them being character specific because I generally only play 1-2 toons tops. For those that are altoholics though they should definitely do that ^^
