All the yesses!
...apparently there's a bit of a clipping issue on that gown by the way...
Exact same situation here. I bought the dress counting on them letting us dye costumes eventually, and now I got this:
I'm sorry for the quality. I think I will make a "Houses of Westeros Collection" now that I took a second look at the combinations.
@NBrookus @KoshkaMurka
We cannot currently dye the quest-related costumes that need to be equipped from inventory, no.

Concerning costume dyeing I noticed, that we only have very few colours on the PTS to try around. I would love to have the full palette, or at least a lot more colours to be able to try around. Might change when the EU chars are on the PTS.
Also, and this is a general thing which is also live, and is, at least for me and a lot of guildies, a real issue: shiny colours.
On many surfaces, and almost on all surfaces on high level gear, also on fabric, almost _any_ colour turns into a metallic/plastic/shiny look. Bosmer medium on C150/160 looks like a latex catsuit, most light pants and fabric parts on almost any robe look like they have been coloured with metallic spray paint. For me, this is a reason to totally abandon those styles and use the very few where that doesn't happen or dye those parts Coldharbour Ash Black, which is no solution.
Shiny does not equal better. Most high quality fabrics in reality aren't shiny.
This is the same green on lvl 36 gear and on CP150 gear:
I couldn't find a single colour that is not lensflare-shiny apart from Coldharbour Ash Black, and I have a lot of colours on my account.
This is Novice Tan on Ancient Orc CP160:
On costumes that seems to work properly though. I don't have a lot of dyes on the PTS at the moment, but what I tried looked like fabric. Apart from the parts that are simply not dyeable, that works fine for me.
If they ever get around to rewarding you with a Costume version of the Disguise as part of the quest reward, as happens already with the Gemstone of Skeletal Visage, then it would be doable. The UI is already in place for disguises-as-costumes; I wonder when we'll actually see it implemented.Yeah, I was sad that I couldn't dye my disguises, but that makes sense from a game perspective. You are supposed to be disguised exactly as the in game NPCs to do these quests, so the outfit not being dyeable makes sense, but would be a fun option.
Non-ESO Plus players do get the Dye Stamps in the Crown Store with preset dye configurations for Costumes, but it would be nice to see something a bit more customizable. For example, maybe the Crown Store could also sell empty Dye Stamps for you to build up your own configuration. Don't like the presets? Pay a bit more to make a custom Dye Stamp from all your unlocked colours, but as with the other Stamps, you can only use it once.NewBlacksmurf wrote: »This works fine, but being locked behind ESO plus only is the wrong direction.
In addition to ESO plus, there should be another non-sub option for our dyes because 1. It's a base game update and 2. while this works for PC it's not a solid option for Xbox one. It's become frustrating to see the PTS environment that is out of alignment often with the console release of these tested updates.
Other than this, it's all good.
Thanks for the new features

A few costumes even allow you to choose what kind of fabric you would like to have. The Eternity Tunic for example. The jerkin can look like it normally does, a cotton fabric. But you can also give it a more silky look like its more expensive brethren 'brilliance brocade robe' and ' summit lords silken robes'. It depends on the color you choose.

The problem is that the "shiny or not shiny" effect is an effect of the dyes themselves. And for some reason only the "special" dyes are shiny. Well, what if I want the soft pink in the common dyes section to be shiny? What if I want the various golds in the mid section of the dyes to be shiny? What if I'd like a shiny black dye? What if I'd like Syffin Red to NOT be shiny? The dyes themselves alter the texture/fabric type of the armor or costume. Which really limits your options. We need to be able to CHOOSE shiny or NOT shiny versions of ALL the dyes. Maybe the "shiny option" can unlock when you get your first level 50 character just to keep it "special."
I just tried to dye a bunch of things on my female bosmer, and some are not able to dye in all three slots. Not sure if this is a bug. The sets I tested are as follows:
- Ashlander pack- no issues
- Nedic - no issues
- Pirate - The Pirate Swab top will not dye. The First Mate top will not dye.
- Tribal Shaman- no issues
- Winterborn - no issues
- Woodland Scouts - no issues
- Noble Dress _ no issues
- Sandkissed - no issues
- Silvanari hat - only uses 2 of the 3 dye slots, so not sure why it shows three.
- Graght-Climber - only uses 2 of the 3 slots as well.
