What would everyone think of an item that allowed you to drop a dragon's eye color to the next-lowest rarity tier?
Specifically from Rare -> Unusual or Unusual -> Uncommon; would also work for Uncommon -> Common, but not really necessary, we already have Tempered vials for that.
Also, possibly, if you use it on a dragon with a special eye type (Faceted, Multi, Primal, or Glowing), they'd drop to Rare.
This would be less likely to ruin the market for scattervials, because you'd still need them to get a rarer type (in fact, some players might be more likely to use them because even if you get a result that's a notch or two too high, you could easily remedy that), while still offering more control when it comes to matching.

I can see this being useful for breeding projects and project dragons. I like that this doesn't just give you the eye type you want: you might have to use a few for what you want. It would work well with the the Vial of Scattersight (as you pointed out).
Overall, I think this is a nice compromise, and doesn't make things too easy for players.

Oh, I like this.
The only thing I wonder is how future eyes will figure in to the rarity tiers we have... and if they would then but included in such an item.

For future special types (either gem MP or natural types that are <5% liklihood when hatched/scattervialed), probably also drop them to Rare.
Types that you can obtain other ways (treasure MP, coli, Baldwin, etc) might need to be handled differently. Possibly you would need to scattervial a dragon with one of these types to a natural type before they would be eligible to use the downgrade item.
Again, this is in deference to not devaluing scattervials (which isn't very important to me personally, but I know many have invested in them).
Going by
this chart, vialing gets you Rare type around 20% of the time; so if you had a Common/Uncommon/Unusual-eyed dragon you wanted to make Rare, it would take roughly 5 scattervials.
If the cost of a new vial type + cost of downgrade item = less than the cost of 5 scattervials, people would choose that option instead.

Good a time as any to bring this back up, since it's been confirmed that scattervials are retired for good.
Again, factoring in Goat, my instinct is that using a downgrade vial on a Goat would drop it to Rare.

Support! This is a fun idea, and I don't think it would hurt the economy since it's a downgrade, not an upgrade.

Please help me raise my Dragon Cave hatchlings and hatch my eggs by viewing and clicking on them. :D (A big thank you to everyone who has already helped!)
oh thats an interestin take on the whole vial suggestion train
supporting because i don't see how it could be a bad thing
