I decided to do some Canthan farming this weekend. Using a riposte 55 build i found on here once i farmed Strongroots Shelter. I compared it with another shelter i had farmed previously (before nightfall) and the color was off.



Personally I prefer the old better.

Hopefully this isn't ofn. Anyone else see similar changes with other greens?

im pretty sure strongroot's shelter has always been green...you may have just dyed yours silver and forgotten about it.

I noticed this happened to Chkkr's Flatbow as well. (The older version is a lighter red and the newer version is a darker red. The difference is noticeable in the inventory screen.)

Erm have you all not realised, print screen is now JPG (Jpeg) instead of BMP, so you will get a bit of colour loss example look at your sword, old one has alot more detail and shines, new one just shiny because of the colours being blurred together by JPG and hardly no detail in the blade

I got this shield yesterday as well, and as far as I remember it has always been green :/

Yeh I noticed the same with the pink monk focus (Stonehart?) from SF and Byzrr Benediction (which was green), now they all are blue in inventory and game.

Ive got 3 old strongroots, but havent gotten any new Strongroots. Does he still only drop when he carries the shield visable?

it'll be due to the dye colour update from nightfall, whereas the old stuff was dyed in the old manner, and the new stuff is dyed in the new way, colour differences are observed

I wonder if there will be some kind of price inflation due to the change.
