Title: Outfit Dye Rework - Previewable in Pearl Shop and Save Outfit Dyes

- Figuring out how dyes look on the outfit: As a sorc main, I have often been surprised that some outfits do not dye as expected. Take for instance the Dahlia Nocturna Outfit. I bought it because it looked amazing. But when I started dyeing it, I was disappointed: there metallic parts and cloth parts of the dress are"bundled up" together, and the chest cloth part does not show dyes as expected : 

I ask for this since so long. It sucks that there is a max of 12 dye slots on all costums and that sometime stuff dyes toegther you didnt expect. Had also the same exp with white not beeing white at all on some slots....and that sucks...

It's often the case that dyes apply in very bizarre ways to outfits and that the colors you get are nothing like what they are normally. And they often group stuff together in really weird ways when dyeing, which can make things really weird. And some parts just aren't dyeable even when most of the outfit is. So, yeah, being able to actually see what happens when dyeing an outfit before buying it could have a large impact on how desirable it is to buy an outfit.

Personally, I think that they should be forced to use their own dyeing system when setting up all outfits so that it's guaranteed to work well enough for us to be able to replicate whatever color scheme they picked using the dyes. And if it works that well, then the dyes in general would work far better than they do now.

That is a fantastic idea! Upvoted!

This idea is great and needed! Fashion is a huge part of the game, previewing dyes before purchasing an outfit would be a huge quality of life change. Some type of outfit saving template system could benefit here too, where you can save pieces of outfits together with the dyes applied. Making it fast and easy to swap between outfit loadouts you created, without having to remember the dyes on each piece! An example being: if you wanted to use the same pair of boots in two seperate outfits, with different color schemes, etc! :D

Oh I had a suggestion about this: instead of the random rng dyes we won't even know what dye/colour it will be when we buy it, let us choose a specific dye like in the Merv's dye window. As in we can test out the dyes similar to using the Merv's palette, see what part gets dyed and what doesn't, which dye looks like what on whatever part we wanna dye, and even customize the dye with change of colour and shade to fit exactly what we want - and then we could buy exactly that one dye/however many we want from that set up, same way we can buy the unlimited dyes in the pearl shop one by one. So kind of like Merv's palette, but without limiting it to a certain amount of time for all dye options and outfits and characters, it'd be to buy a certain dye setting for that outfit, that lasts forever. The prices could be affected by how many you buy at once, if you have a full colour set for the outfit you could get a bundle reduction in price, and a set price for just one dye.

Like this, you could also immediately take the screenshot of the dyes and their descriptions you bought that bdo requires you to have, when an outfit gets edited and you want to get back the already bought dyes that disappeared.
