The More Useful NPCs is a project I am doing in order to make NPCs who are useless be useful. These NPCs currently include the Dye Trader, Nurse, Merchant and Goblin Tinkerer. I'm running out of an introduction, so without further ado, here goes the Dye Trader:

The Dye Trader's useless, the end:

Mixer
15 Gold
Stylist is in Town

Empty Dye
5 Gold
Always Sold

Now, the fun part begins: When the Mixture is in your inventory, you can open a gui to mix Empty Dye and one of the Hair Stylist's Dye. So...

In

Definitely give the Dye Trader some usefulness.
Besides, who doesn't want to put a platinum coin in their inventory and look like they're entirely made of platinum?
Or turn pale when you know you're dead without mana?
Or turn black when you're going to turn to ashes from death?
Or turn cyan from running around at the speed of sound?

Honestly, this could make for some unique characters.

Awesome, thanks for the support Swordbomb! I can always count on you :D
 
They should make 1 dye each. And that rainbow dye kills the purpose of the of the original rainbow dye. otherwise, support!
 
Make them use THREE empty dye.

Also, Goblin, Nurse, and Merchant are most definitely NOT useless.

Merchant becomes useless in mid-end game. That's why I picked him. I did the Goblin Tinkerer for the sole purpose of the Grappling Hook, and I wanted to make the Nurse useful when you're not around her.
 
This is a cool idea, though I have to agree with others that the goblin tinkerer is one of the most useful (and hated...) NPCs. He has rocket boots, the tinkerer's workshop, and re-forging (which is a big part of the game). I like this idea though, it would be cool to have more dynamic dyes for clothes and armor.
 
its great ideia! and GREAT update for the useless dye trader! and a hair dye to clothes yes...

but I have a suggestion:

he sells the clothe dyes in the same price as stylist sell the hair dyes (example: stylist sell green tree dye for 2727 coins, dye trader will sell green tree clothe dye for 2727 coins too)

Because all things dye trader sell (and what stylist sell too) is un-craftable, and a craftable thing of them itens will be very weird and dye trader just sell the clothe dyes when stylist is in town.

support!

(Ok first of all, the goblin is in NO way useless. Just saying)

OT: this isnt half bad. I dont really use dyes all that much but i can see how this would balance things out more. Support, why not?
