Armor Dyes on RED

[Gloves]

I am unable to make the extract on the red server. I am trying to make the black extract by combining charcoal, an empty vial and a water flask in medicine bag(using a shaman with 100 alchemy skill) and it will not let me combine them. I have even tried using a mortar and pestle and had no luck.

I spoke with some people on the blue server who were very helpful and they noted that they have seen fine plate dyes there. Could you please look into this for us over here on red if you get the time OR let me know if im doing it wrong, Thanks !

pretty sure armor dyes not kunark

Armor Dye =/= Dyed Fine Plate Armor

[nilbog]

pretty sure armor dyes not kunark
neither is fine plate imo

Both should be available in Kunark

Tradeskillers can probably clear this up quicker than I can, but here's one quote that should do it.

Yes I am aware that this has been brought up in the past through several posts, the lengthiest being this thread. (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=4741&highlight=empty+vial)

I have nothing against the research of those fine individuals. I'm not saying their work was bad or anything... let's just say that our methods are different. And these "different" research methods have led me to believe that dying fine plate armor was released in Everquest's first major trade skill patch dated September 19, 2000 (link 1 (http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20000919.html), link 2 (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/history/patches-2000-2.html) I have more if you need them). Better yet, here are some screenshots so you dont have to sift through those links:

EQtraders was a wonderful website run by a great moderator. When she set up her site she helped out the Everquest community by provided countless trade skill updates. The way she did this was through e-mails and updates provided by the EQ players and also confirming by merchant-diving and testing combines.

The adventurous folks of the Kunark-era banded together to help her out with a series of updates following the aforementioned patch. Seen here:

note the date at the top being short after the patch
(in case you're curious about the "various dyes look like" link. The link works but the images are broken.)

After a few months her site was updated to include the new recipes:

again, notice the dates
(yes I am aware that this is a duplicate image post from another thread)

Also other little tidbits of evidence would pop up on other sites like Zam:

note the date

And Everlore (a guide was even created several months after this patch on dying fine plate armor which can be seen here (http://web.archive.org/web/20010512100537/http://www.everlore.com/guides.asp?id=269326))

I have yet to find actual documentation of the specific dyes and recipes being implemented by the developers. I can only offer one viable explanation and that is I believe the developers created the world of everquest to be explored - thoroughly. If they put the exact recipes and formulas in their vague patch notes, what fun would that be for the adventurous-type?

I hope this evidence is suitable and that you carefully reconsider putting the correct ingredients on the correct merchants.

Yes it should be in and is in. Well the armor is. The Dye recipes were working at one point but then after a patch a few months back they were broken and get DNC.

Sorry posted same time as other guys lol.

Sigh, this is already fixed. Please do searches for bugs before creating threads.

When I posted this, it was not working. If we had some idea when the "fixes" would be applied it might save some confusion rather then just " its fixed pending update".

[Thulack]

It will be fixed once they have the next patch. How are they suppose to tell you when the fix would be applied if they don't even know when the next patch is.

CONFUSION

[Thulack]

Devs: It will be fixed next update
Gloves:When is that?
Devs:We are not sure.
Gloves:Why?
Devs:Because we don't know when it will be.
Gloves:Why?......

See where this is going?
