One of the more unpopular changes to the game has been the dying bench.
I’d like to suggest
T1: Appearance one wooden vat one drying rack. You can make base colors; red blue yellow green purple orange pastels not the vivid colors. T4 alchemists can do black and white. One piece of armor at a time.
T2: Two large wooden vats, a few drying wracks. Most colors excluding vivids. One piece of armor at a time.
T3: 2 large stone, 2 large wooden vats, several drying racks and an armor rack. Can do all colors and a full set of armor/clothes.
Ahhh but I can dream can’t I?
