Mastery Dye(Discussion)

I think it would be a fun idea to make a mystery dye which would apply a random color to your equipment. That way, depending on the price of the dye, it would be possible to get rarer colors of dye for a lot cheaper. However, there is always the chance of getting cheaper colors of dye. As for how this dye should be obtained, I would have to say either let it be a random drop from monsters, since putting it at the dye trader would probably jack the price up too high, since a lot of people would buy this dye if the color they want is way too expensive.

Why this is a good idea

•  Possibility of getting expensive colors of dye at a cheaper price
•  Adds a sense of adventure to mundane tasks like dyeing your armor (haha)

Why it may not work out

•  Heavy price inflation
•  People get mad because they get bad colors? (that's why I think it should be a free drop from monsters)
