When the appearance of dyes changed, a lot of things are really messed up with them. For some armors, silver looks teal, and grey looks almost the same as silver used to only much cheaper.

Many of the dye mixes are really screwed up. For instance, Silver, Dye Remover, Silver used to come out as a white color, but now it comes out exactally the same as silver, more or less. Why did the mixes have to be changed? My friend blew a bit of money because he mixed a bunch of white dyes before the update and now they turn out looking bad.

Also Dye stacks that were found or purchased before the update will not stack with dyes found or purchased after the update. Overall I love the new changed though.

Yeah, the dye colors on the login are all messed up for me too... Oh well hope it gets fixed soon. Adding white dyes was really dumb, especially having them loot -only in my opinion.

Ok, the update has added white and brown dye as loot drops. Brown dye, i suspect will have a medium ti high intiall price and then fall. White, depending on frequency, will start out very high. im talking 10-15k here, as alot of people want it. This coulld trigger a downturn in the black dye market, so if you've got some of those I would try to sell them before white dye becomes well known about or availible thrugh drops/farmers. This is just my two cents.

And since Im away from my gaming comp. could someone please post a screenie of the new UI,please?

The Dye merchant will determine the price of the new dyes.

Problem with that is you can't buy or sell the new dyes at the trader, so it's all up to the sellers for the time being.

Yep, rediculous prices as it's been in a state of demand with practically no supply.

Just curious...Where have you guys seen the white dyes dropping?



And yeah..They really need to put White dye at the trader and set a price. Its ridiculous to see some users paying like 40k per bottle. :|

ANyone tried selling a brown dye? I'd try getting some myself, but I'm in London and GW is in Dublin. Yeah, what's the story on Brown Dye? I dont think it would be in high demand.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned. New dyes generated in this patch do NOT stack with older dyes, even if they are identical colors. I just tried to place red dye in my stash's stack of 24 reds, and they keep swapping places.

Fortunately, the dye trader does recognize the two red dyes as equal value.

At least someone can spell.. I'd almost given up hope.

White dye has been a long time coming, now its going to be easier for all those dandy's IG to have pink armour.

Actually, the problem I see is a lot of neat colors are no longer able to be made.

Specific example...blood red necro (so much brighter than the used to be default red, which is now grey) can not be made because it used dye remover. It was an EXTREMELY popular color.

White dyes are 'loot-only' until the traders can build up stocks of them to sell. They start with none. Same for browns.

The dandy's can at least make their pink at a reasonable cost now.
After all nothing like seeing a bulking male warrior parading around in bright pink obsidian armour trying to get a part as a village ppl extra.

They will have changed any dye-combination which produces a whiteish look, because you can now get white dye drops.

Which just rocks!!! But people will charge 100k to buy them.

Funny how changes shake things up. Why they didn't just leave the dye remover in makes no sense to me.

The other thing that makes no sense to me is why the vials of silver dye look so much like the black ones. I can see the scammers jumping all over this one, trying to pass it off in trades as black. Not a big worry for people who've been around long enough to be wary of trades, but others aren't so saavy about things like that. (Make the silver dye vials look SILVER, is all I'm saying)

Well if you already had Blood Red it still works...just sucks if I find a new armor I like.

I'm glad i dyed my necro armor bright red 1 day before update .
I do hate the not stacking of new and old dyes.
I think a new dye chart is needed .

Should still work with Red instead of Dye Remover. People have been making the same color with Red instead of Dye Remover for a while, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I better go find out though, because my 15k Kurzick is going to look funny with the chest piece not being the blood red...

For some reason my black-dyed straw effigy appears the default color in the inventory screen, but when actually used it's black. Some of my guildies are experiencing similar problems with dyed items, not just dyed armor as discussed in this thread. Is anyone else having this problem? Well regardless I'm sure it will be fixed (I hope)...

same experience with green items that used to be pre-dyed; my monk's Bzzyr's Benediction looks like a normal blue divine symbol in inventory but on my char it's the expected greeny colour

For the past few months, I have had the collectors flame artifact, which is bright orange. I had it died a bluish-grey color, and the image of the flame artifact in my inventory showed the same color. After the update, the actual artifact is still bluish grey, but in inventory, it shows up as orange again. Not a big deal, but something I thought was kind of strange

I just sold all of my hard earned silver dye except 5 vials to the dye trader. The new grey dye with 50g fixed price looks just too damn close to silver to justify paying the 950g for silver that the dye trader is asking for. I expect prices for silver dye to plummet very soon.
