Ive seen one guy in the game with this color dye on 15k warriors dragon armor... It looks sweet and im wondering what the combination is ? Im not looking for 3 blacks + 1 silver cause thats not what it is. Its like 5 different dyes so ive heard... I forgot the ask the dang guy but he said it was a glossy black and had alot of combinations. Thanks

Looking for one

Max amount of dyes that can be used in a combination is 4.

Provide a screenshot since most people won't really know what you're talking about.

Well now im not sure then? does anyone know the combination? And I never really thought about mixing it until now because I just noticed the guys armor and asked him how he got it so shiny...

Well I've noted that pure black dye sometimes looks a lil like water color black. It just seems a little watered down on a bunch of armor. I'm not a black dye fiend so I never tried, but if you wanted a deep black, which might be what you're explaining. I always thought the best way to go would be to take a color like blue or purple, and mix it with 1 2 or maybe even 3 black dyes to make it an extremely darker version of the color, and basically making it look much more black than the plain black. And if you're going to be testing dyes, make sure you don't make the mistake of mixing two dyes of the same color. (i.e. mixing a silver with a silver or a black with a black) If you're trying to make a combo that is 3 parts one color and 1 part another, always mix the different colors first before you add in the like colors. A lot of people know this I know, but a lot don't realize it.

Dye matters what is mixed, dye matters on what armor and the color of it's base color, you can have the color you want in the vial but when put on armor may have a diffrent color effect.

Yeah it's definately not Silver + black dyes. I have that combo on my warrior 15k gladiator armor and it looks like silver. A guild member of mine has a somewhat glossy armor. He said his was Silver + Yellow + Black. It's not that dark, but its still pretty sweet.

i know of one case on the forum here where the OPPOSITE color turned out to be the desired color on that type of armor due to the inherent base color

Yup, cause i mixed a weird color of yellow in a dye called (mixed), but on druids base color which is brown made it pink.
