Colored Recycled Leather

[GratefulDread]

When you recycle colored metal, you get colored ingots back. When you recycle colored cloth, you get colored cloth back. And I'm not sure about wood.

But when I get colored boots from NPC's, I always just thought it would be cool if when I used scissors on them it would give me hued leather rather than un-dyed normal leather and the ability to re-craft it into leather items that retain that hue. Just a thought to add a bit to the diversity of some collectors items/clothing and economy.

There are free-to-use public leather tubs you can use, like the vendor house directly next to Occlo bank.

Well, I do know of these tubs, but they don't have "all" of the hues that the NPC boots have, do they?

I used to play OSI waaaaaaay back (long before Trammel) and I remember you could go to a blacksmith NPC and buy different hues of platemail armor from them. There were insane amounts of color variants that you could collect and come by, but you never would find a full suit of the same hue on a single blacksmith shop-keep. Instead, you would get like arms and a gorget from one town, gloves and a helm from another, and a week later find the rest of the set from different towns. There were very silvery blues, smokey greys/blacks, rust colored bronzes and coppers, but all different from the colored ores we have today by a few shades.

It's a small niche group of people who liked collecting this armor, I'm sure, but it was another form of "collection" that I loved. Since that won't be coming back (I doubt anyway), I set my sights on the different colors of "boots" from NPC's that are not a part of the leather dye tubs so that I could make very special and rare sets of colored leather.

If not leather retaining color when recycled, can we bring back the random platemail hues on blacksmiths? XD
