I have been experimenting on the dye for my female ranger obsidian armor and i have gotten nothing close to what i really want =[

-3xblack dyes +1x silver dye
Ive been wasting most of my money attempting to achieve this color but it never comes close to the real thing:


I can only hope to get somewhere near it =]

i would like to hear from you guys if there is such a possibility to gaining such a color.
(sorry for bad picture quality my graphics card isnt that great)

Isn't that just simple grey or just 1 black dye? Seems like grey to me x)

I had the similar problem I found 2 combos that work well to match that type of colour try: Blue+grey or 2x blues+grey or 1 black+grey or 2blacks+1 grey that may or may not work did for me just try the dark dyes with a mix of either silver or dark grey

I agree. It's gotta have grey in it, 1 Grey & 1 Black maybe?

From an old dye recipe: green+orange+purple

Experiment with those 3, sometimes a fourth dye is necessary and sometimes just green+purple works.
