Cloth is Borderline Random Appearance-wise

I'm gonna keep this short and sweet. I've been making a material guide for Nightingale's fashion so that way folks can make heads or tails of materials BEFORE they start crafting as there is no preview option yet. After extensive testing with Cloth/Fabric/Fibre Related outfits, I've come to the conclusion that how cloth works on an outfit color-wise is borderline random.


I say borderline because if you use the same cloth/fabric/fibre on the same outfit, you will get the same result. But where the randomness lies is the execution of non-Fabled related fibres. Over the course of the game, I've noticed that Cloth as a whole is the most inconsistent of the materials. Sometimes I get red, sometimes I get beige, sometimes it comes out black, sometimes it's pure white.

I decided to finally test why this happens. At first, I thought it might've been just that certain outfits don't take to fibre materials well. Then thought about how leather and felt, despite both being hide, they produce different results sometimes. So I tried 2 cloth dominant outfits (Striking Peacoat and Hermetic's Capelet) alongside two fabric related outfits (Sentinel Jacket and Jabot Dress) since those were often flip flopped. I used the same exact materials (T3 Bound Fibre with T3 Predator Pelt) I could for all 4 of them and wanted to see the result.

The end result was random and told me absolutely nothing. The Jabot Dress and Hermetic's Capelet ended up being the exact same color (Beige), which ruled out that there was a difference between the two. The Peacoat ended up being pure white for some reason. Then the Sentinel jacket took on a dark brown-red.

In short, fibre related materials are the hardest and most annoying to farm in the game. But to make matters worse, it is not even consistent like leather or metal how they come out. So far, the only consistency lies with fibres made from fabled creature meat. I know dyes are coming, but this is beyond infuriating for anyone who wishes to make decent looking outfits.
