    Other than advertising Dev+ - is there any purpose? I mean Dev+ people have been discussing most of the content of these updates already...

    @DarkStarr
    What happens if I buy black or white dyes and use those dyes on items I own. Can the dyed items be lost in the pvp ransom system? If yes, why? If no, why?

    Personally I think the dyes should be renewable and unransomable since they're purchased in the add-on store. But I do have concerns about balance in pvp.

    This is why I was more in favor of an indirect purchase (i.e., you purchase a rare flower that grows via Agriculture and you can harvest its petals to make black dye once per week, or something like that). That way, the plant can be protected from ransom, the dye stays rare(-ish), and you don't purchase consumables in the Add-On Store.

    Exactly. I totally agree. I suggested this same type of thing in DEV+.

    You have made your position on how dyes should work abundantly clear in multiple locations. If you want to debate how dyes work please start a separate thread.

    Can anyone point me to which region this mountain range is in? I can't find it on SotaMap for some reason.

    It is across the street near Vertas and just down the road from Mariah's Overlook.

    I'm assuming that the white and black dyes will replenish in our banks after a wipe, right? Considering the items they will be used on will be disappearing.

    We encountered an issue with them. Might not make it for this release. Deleting them from the OP for now

    Ah, my elemental seems much weaker than before, although my main got a little boost.

    Elemental is not showing health/focus numbers any more.

    Is there a general rule for what cannot be dyed?
    None of the armor that I've made can be dyed so I'm a little confused. Only a cloak from a merchant so far.
