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?
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.)
