thats actually a really neat idea

Default Sounds good


To answer the initial question, I like the idea of setting the color on the slot.

the quest idea is interesting...

I like how it is on EQLive. It would get rather expensive having to dye the armor again if you buy a new piece. Sure, its free on eqemu if you can summon, but if you play EQLive, 50pp each time you get a new piece of armor is just insane :P I voted EQLive's way.

Well, I know it's possible, but feasible is the question...How's the idea of personal dye. If you dye item #2345 color #ffffff, anytime you used it it would show that color, but when player B buys the armor, it would show whatever color they chose.

This method would impose greater database storage/hits, but how many people are having database query issues with the massive number of players on your server? :

on eqlive they cost about 25-35pp to make, and sell for btwn 40-50
I'm gonna go ahead and vote on either the flag to make it board owner's choice or eqlive, since if someone DOES run a legit server, dying each piece of armor would get costly and fast. Not to mention, you like the color you dyed it to, so why the heck would you not want to transfer it to a new piece when you get it. I mean we all hate sitting there trying to get cash in eqlive as it is, why make it like that in eqemu?

[EDITED:]
That, and if someone dyes a piece of armor that's an awesome piece of armor, you don't want to have to get stuck with their color choice selections if you buy it from them. Personally, when I made 30 in eqlive, I treated myself to coloring all my armor, the other way would be like treating myself to flushing pp down the toilet, since the armor wouldn't last long enough. Not to mention that, if I remember right, not all armor was able to be dyed.

My opinion?

Armor dye is gay. kbai
Now i don't understand how armor dye is grey...Is it masculine in another language and it likes other masculin noun? its much like another populated phrase
