wouldn't that just be silver or black?

I'm pretty sure using either silver or black will yield a white like that.

Indeed, silver dye nets a fuzzy white, whereas black dye yields a solid white.

Next time hit Shift while pressing Print Screen in order to get that darn "healing signet" out of your view. Makes for better screencaps.

Ok after a lot of money and a lot of time, I've done a near full (ie not including black combos) wokup of 2 dye mixes on 15k mesmer rogues female. Is there somewhere I can put the pic?

I'd like to see what you've spent your money and time on, so I'll suggest uploading your pics onto http://www.imageshack.us/ and post one of the suggested format links on here.

If possible I would love to get a copy of those pics so I can add them to the other mesmer pics(assuming you don't mind me using your work).

On the Issue of A black chaos axe I think It is possible cause I've seen an axe that was very close to black but still looked like it was glowing black but the owner wouldn't tell me the combo. Ive been testing for it but can't find the combo I know its gotta be more then three silver and 1 dye remover and maybe a yellow but oh well. But its still wasn't pure black.

  • Ele: Purple
  • Necro: Red
  • Warrior: Yellow
  • Monk: Yellow (blue on tattoos)
  • Ranger: Yellow
  • Mesmer: Green

The Necro Also defaults to green on the Tormentors set of armor.

Glints-
I believe that FrogDevourer was reffering to the basic class armor, not any specific set (except the tats on monk). Those are for the starter armors/ collector armor.

Fezz, np, just let me know where to send them/put them.

kk here the main pic is. The domain I've put it up on is currently undergoing major redevelopment so if it suddenly disappears it probably got deleted. Let me know and I'll put it back up again.

If you have them labeled putting them in a folder and ending them via msn, aim, or some website would be great.

Or if you have some other way of knowing which is which and want to post the images somewhere(doesn't matter to me) with the mix used on each.

You have seen how I have them formatted(so long as I can make your pics fit that format you can do what you want to them), so whatever is easiest for you.

Just let me know and we will work it out.

Edit: Or another idea, use a gmail account(gmail drive software) as a drive and just copy the files there.

Do you mean Facial scars or Body scars?

Lyra, I hope you don't mind me keeping a copy of that for my collection of Dye stuff. Also with your permission I would like to post the link for it with my Dye work on another forum.

For scars made out of parchments. You have to use black dye.
For Necros it depends on the skin color. Dyeing it black will come
out dark gray for dark skin Necros. Or Light gray but darker than
silver for light skin Necros.
For scars made out of Vellum. On my Necro any dye I use except
for silver. The scars turn out black. Or looks black.
For my Monk I had to use black dye.

I've put green and red on 15K necro scars (the pale white skin)
It only adds a very slight tinge of the color (depending on the light) but a positive effect is that it makes the black stand out more sharply.

Does anyone know how to get the 15K Geomancer back to the original color if dyed something? Dye remover turns it purple, not the original color.

Thanks

Cherno, all armour has 2 "basic" colours, sometimes these are the same.

Base colour - what you get if you use dye remover, these are profession specific and I believe are listed in the OP.
Sale colour - the colour it is when it is sold. For example 15k rogues (indeed all rogues) is sold as blue, while the base colour is green.

To the best of my knowledge all sale colours are single dye only, so ask yourself what colour was it when you bought it, and you have the answer to your question.

Something to add about the Base color. The colors listed in the first post are not exact, if you look at the last two columns of pics for both Monk and Ranger you will see that XXX+yellow != XXX+Dye Remover, which would be true if they yellow was the base color.

As for the color the armor is when purchased, it is usually just a single Dye color, the only very noticable exception being Geomancer Armor.

TO Cherno: A guildmate asked this same question a few days ago. I would not think up/find an exact match, but Red+Green turns out reasonably close.

Thanks. I believe the default color is purple, but it is not the sale color and the sale color is definately not single dye. If you've seen the armor, it is a sort of brownish tan color, and actually looks pretty nice. Straight yellow won't bring it back to original.


Fezz, I saw you post something in another thread that you are working on dye charts for other types of armor. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.

I have:
Male:
Necro 15K Scars, 15K tormentors
Warrior Fissure
Ele 15K pyro
Ranger 15K Drakes and 15K druids

Female:
Monk Asc wanderers
Mesmer Asc Stylish (orange looks quite snappy)

lol Cherno apparently you have found the one exception to the general rule

Fezz because you didn't seem to get it from the link above here it is again

2 Dye Combos - 15k Rogues (F)

Just a couple of comments I should have added to this the first time around, with 15k rogues (perhaps rogues in general) dye remove functions the same as green dye. So blue + green = dye remove + blue. Please note that this is not the case for all armours, but does work on this particular one. Remembering this will save you money In addition, 3 dye combos don't seem to change the colour all that much. By this I mean that it SEEMS that you can get the same effect in a 2 dye combo. Please note however that I have NOT tried all 3 dye combos - not by a long shot - however the ones I have tried have turned out to be quite similar to two dye combos.

Awsome stuff Lady Lozza, do you mind if I post that on another forum with the rest of my Dye mixes?

And to add to what you are saying about the Dye Remover. Mesmer armor(Ele, Necro, and Monk Tatoos) seem to follow that rule very well, which can save lots since Blue, Green and Red are three of the more expensive Dyes. But the others, the ones said to have Yellow as their base, don't always follow the rule.

I got bored with my "White" 1.5k Pyromancer armor... So for the past day or so I've been on a rampage to make enough cash to get 4 Black Dyes for my new 15k Pyromancer armor. I know, I know, most of you would have that glorious 26k in no more than an hour or so.

I'm not the best at making cash, okay?

Anyway, I don't want to leave it at just Black... I was thinking about a metallic black. I read in this thread that this could be achieved by using Black and Purple mixes, but it was for another armor type entirely. I don't really have the cash to make any mistakes...

Does anybody happen to know a good formula for a 15k Pyromancer Metallic Black dye mix?
