Extract the dyes from plants and make another job out of that.

Random plants around the OW would be able to give you a random color dye with popular colors (black, blue) being more rare than the less popular ones (pink, purple).

lol i agree

I can agree with refining ingredients to create hair dye (hell, you could make a mini game out of it or something, people throw ingredients into a pot and mix, and they can get a hair dye based on what they put in), but questing for rare items to get rare colors is just stupid. You're just limiting variety, you complain about everyone being the same or something, your idea just inforces it.

Baking like 80 breads to be able to buy a hat wasn't stupid in the old days? People still did it.

Actually... I like the idea of hair dye being an item. You could go to a salon to get it styled a certain way and then you could dye it depending on which dye bottles you have. :)

The plants on the overworld thing would be neat. It would add some random aesthetics to the OW and people could get lucky and find the "rarer" colors... Though I think the normal colors could be available in shops or something.

Going by what was said above... I think it would work to have players find these colored plants and pick them. Then take them to a place where they drop it in a barrel and add some water, and then stir it using the directional keys (like going up left down right around and around) and then if they have a bottle they can put the dye in the bottle. :D

I don't really think it would work too well for clothing... since hair isn't an item it works easier. But yeah, I like the hair dye idea... I might do something like that. There would still be a lot of colors you could change your hair to without finding the dye.

This is a perfect way for people not to get confused with staff as well. If everyone has a "unique" look, then there wouldn't be retards running around trying to impersonate staff.

I like this idea a lot... whether you can dye your hair or clothes, it works for me... ;)


What about tattoo's or other accessories?

Well he mentioned facial features like scars and stuff, wouldn't be hard to fit a tattoo in there :p
