Disappointed with dyes, not doing it again

I bought some of the last set of dyes – bought 2 sets of 5, and got one of the premium dyes. Not a mistake I’ll repeat.

I would LOVE to be able to buy the dyes from the gemstore. You know, instead of buying a lottery ticket.

Some of those enameled ones look really nice, but gambling at the gemstore’s odds are just too tilted.

It surprises me sometimes that for all the talk of converting gold to gems nobody ever offers the other direction as a solution. Enameled dyes can be bought directly using gems if you go through the exchange.

As of this morning the range is:

  • Enameled Legacy Dye ~190 gems.
  • Enameled Crimson Dye ~1100 gems.

No randomness required.

edit: Lol – Raistlan did the thing i said nobody did, beat me to it

But that isn’t what I was proposing in my post or what other players are necessarily asking for. Those are not set prices. They will change and fluctuate. As you’ve shown, some dyes will be cheap and some will be overly priced. Is this really the solution to RNG dye packs? Buy gems, convert to gold and buy what you want from the TP.

I’m not saying it’s a final solution, but it is the current solution.. And the consumer benefit being the direct purchase price is largely driven by the true player value of each color.
