Guild Wars 2

I was crafting Unidentified Yellow Dye (Rare), spend long time travel to Fireheart Rise to get Peach Karma, then get Lemon outside LA etc. It cost so much materials, karmas etc. only to find out when you ID it, it turn out to be “common” dye!

I’m very sure this is a bug, or a programmed error! Because the rest of the UnID (Rare) dye turn out to be Rare dye. At Chef 125, you can craft masterwork Unid Yellowdye (masterwork quality), and at Chef 300… with 100 peaches, 100 lemons, 25 onions and bay leafs…. you get Common yellow dye?? That’s doesn’t make any sense. Its a RARE UnID dye, it is suppose to be a random rare dye not a common dye.

I’ve reported this in game, but decide to put a note here as well! I’m very disappointing after all the hard work traveling around and wasted of karmas… I know this isn’t blocking progress, but its a bug and please fix it. Thanks!

Unid X Dye (Rare) has a CHANCE to yield a rare dye of respective colour, as it has a chance to yield an uncommon or a common one. Even the description says outright:
“Double-click to identify a Common, Uncommon or Rare Dye from the Yellow spectrum”.

It is not a bug – it is designed that way, and while i, amongst others, believe it’s a very bad design, it’s currently working properly.

Yes, it works that way with all levels. You’re most likely going to get a common dye no matter whether it says (rare), (masterwork), or whatever. Frustrating but not a bug.
