Dyed towels have a cost, even if the initial costs in time and money have been reduced to zero:
Average cost:= (GemPowderCost1+ GemPowderCost2 + WaterBottlecost) * P (
Where P is the probability that towel returns to grey.
thus roughly 13% to 20 % of GemPowderCost .
My remarks if you care:
The new transport system lowers the intersest of towels a lot, since you are warped not far from the location where you die, which was their major use, with the exception of Nivalis. The death penalty in Blue Sage was to have to run the whole way again, which was not a small one for a level 60 player. About The yellow Towel: I used it for fast help (mostly newbies and speed skill) and arrow refill. Since the arrows are now much closer to the port, boat is almost as fast as the towel. I used the red one, occasionally, to return from Nivalis or Tulim areas, the only thing I find annoying is that I can't carry a yellow and a red one and have to make a stop in Tulim store to change it.
