4th Dye Channel

heaven13 · July 2

Please, for the love of the nine divines, start allowing armor pieces to have a 4th dye slot. It's so frustrating that there are a ton of armor pieces with fur that is a default color that cannot be dyed.

Not just fur, there are a lot of metal clasps and fabric that are just stuck a specific color.

Like on Tava’s Goshawk, the clasps are gold, and on Pyre Watch Cuirass you’re stuck with the crimson scarf. It’s silly.

i wish there were 6 dye channels at least. more customisation yes please

i wish ZOS would look to infinity Nikki for fashion inspiration, some clothing pieces in that game have 18 dyeable parts.

I mean, the more the better! I don't know exactly how they've created their pieces and what limitations they may have but 4 should be doable, at the very least.

And yes, I agree about the clasps as well. This all came about because my warden tank was getting a wardrobe update and I wanted to use the Sovngarde Stalwart Cuirass which has beige/yellow fur and very gold metal clasps, neither of which really went with the color scheme I wanted.

I have enough trouble figuring out 3!

Yes, I'd love to be able to dye the accessories and gemstones on an outfit.

Adding that I wish we could dye adornments like circlets as well.

A) please either make more fur elements dyeable or if not give maybe a light and dark version to have more variety

B.) IF you have undyeable elements - such as small metal elements or feathers and such PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE make them in a neutral color so you can use the outfit in various ways;
two imo very negative examples for that:

1) sovngarde stalwart outfit - all the small metal elements you cant dye and they are super bright gold - so you really cant turn the outfit into anything but this kind of godlike warrior style, which imo is just a huge waste for an amazing outfit:

2) black fin legion style - all the feathers are GREEEN; why not make them white? or black? to be more universal? green feathers are so specific again - not very adaptable

I couldn't agree more. There are some costumes I bought in the past that I never wear because they have a part that can't be dyed. Now I take a good look at the costumes in the preview. If it comes in four different colors, I don't buy it.

Would agree.

But also it would be nice if the dyes would look similar on armor as they look in the small squares.

Oh yes, dye colors are a separate pet peeve of mine. I can understand sometimes the dye square looks different because it depends on the material (metal vs cloth vs leather) but, please, please, please at least make it consistent on outfit styles across these different materials. Mixing and matching armor pieces can be tricky when there are such big differences between how the dye applies to the same type of material across different styles.

Agreed on both extra dye channel and dye consistency. Inwas so aggravated by that "Holiday" dye from the level up rewards that I chose thinking it would be great for a New Life costume. Instead on every costume I own (and I have a lot) the colors are washed out pinks and greens. Nothing like the stamp preview squares.

we need bug and combat improvements before cosmetics need another dye slot.

Okay, and? I don't think anyone has asked that we prioritize a 4th dye channel over bug/combat improvements. I'm also not sure what makes you think that it's an either/or situation, given that we know for a fact that there are multiple different teams working on ESO at the same time (QOL, encounters, combat).

Gosh, yeah, feathers. I was so excited for the tide-born motifs aaaaaand the feathers aren’t dyable. WHY????

no, we need fashion improvements before any of that.
ZOS can do all 3 because they have different teams working on these things.

That would be great, however I would be happy with just all three being dyeable on all pieces. I know I have a few that only have one channel that I can dye.

NotaDaedraWorshipper · July 4

Three would work a lot of time, if they actually used them. I've seen so many styles the latest years which doesn't use all 3 channels, and have undyeable parts.
