Luminous Dye Broken?

[Shadow The Innkeep]

Hey fellow Tenno!

A fishing related questiong for you all. Is Luminous Dye broken? II went to test new system with my husband, but 1) dye don't work for other squad members and 2) half the time my own dyes don't work for me. I tried fishing at the ocean waters, worked in one spot, won't work in 2-3 other spots a few feet away from each other. And it won't work on the lake, so I cant fish for Norg for example.

Anyone else has same issues?

I’ve had these same issues where dye doesn’t work even after twenty dyes are thrown in. I guess we’ll have to wait for the next update for it to be fixed.

For me the dye works, but I swear the bait doesn't can't find a single rare fish no matter what bait I use, even if it's the optimal location and time for the fish I'm after (that is lured out by the bait)

See, my issue was the opposite; I tested murkray bait and it worked, at least it did in the one instance when dye worked. I can't say anything about Norg since my dyes didnt work at the lake at night, so I couldn't tell if Norg spawned or not.

I play solo so I don't know about how it works for party members, but here is what I have seen :

- baits do work, and have even longer effect than before (tested norg, cuthol and murkray multiple times... and they kept spawning even after the bait disapeared...)
- luminous dye works normally... once. That means that after the first die out, throwing another one wont work. BUT if you throw another type of bait (e.g. twillight) before throwing the second dye, it appears to work fine...

So, you threw one bait then dye then another bait? I am confused, sorry :D

Yeah, I usually throw a bait (say norg) then the Dye... after the Dye is expired, throwing another Dye won't work. However throwing a twilight bait then the second Dye appears to fix it...

Oh ok, i'll give that a try until they fix the issue. Thanks for clarification!

One thing I noticed on the lake with the dye is. Have to throw it far some times and away from any of the floating grass as that seems more likely to make the dye not work. As well as make sure it s on a deep part as well. Wahat is also intresting is that the dye can be working and not working at the same time.

One time I had the dye work on a fish far away. Yet a fish that was swimming right through the dye placer was not.

Another thing tyo try on the lake one. Go to the island throw the dye on one side and the bait on the other. Some times that woeks too. But, yes. I liked it before.

Well, it just means it is broken because one has to be insane to have it work like that intentionally.

As of Update 22.7.0, I can confirm that this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is unfunnily still not fixed.

I'm pretty sure it just randomly doesn't work (at least after the first dye) a lot of the time... seems to be a bug in the current version. Annoying, as it makes fishing practically unplayable unless one is content with catching another five hundred charc eels in the daytime. =_=;

I did find a pretty rough hotfix with the use of Equinox's Mend & Maim. Activate it while fishing, and the whole floor becomes either checkered (Mend) or wavy (Maim). It's especially helpful out on the coast at night.

I've found that you have to throw out a bait then the dye for it to work. And the dye will continue all the time there is bait in the water.

Hope that helps

Might have to try that.

Seem to notice the times it breaks for me are when it's raining at night. Not sure if they borked something with the weather update or what.
