I don't know if this has been asked before, but what's the dye process to make the 15K Kurzick female armor dye pink? Thanks.

On the subject of elementalist FoW armor...
http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gtg588v/gw/ele.shtml

TC fish has several female Fow armors. None are white and none are black, but it's a fairly comprehensive indication of the armor.

I'm currently saving for Ele FoW perhaps I'll dye it black and post it here if I can't find the black pic that was mentioned.

I should also add the component views to wiki.

Edit: Still nothing. If someone has ele fow I'll give you a black and whatever color you currently have so I can see it.
sure, if u want to see it - why not. however i have to tell u black on fow armor isnt exactly black, its rather smth in-between graphite and asphalt colors. dont expect all dyable details to turn black and blend with ur armor.

You can mix up to four bottles of dye together, and the resulting mix can be used on anything dyable.

The HoD Sword dyed silver (crafted at the old HoD crafter):

The HoD Sword has a bit of a blue-ish tint (which I like).

The +5 Armor Sword (gotten from the Charr At The Gate quest)

The +5 Armor Sword is much more Silver (which I don't like that much).

I'm not sure what causes this, I can think of three things:
  1. As the HoD Sword has been nerfed a long time ago, it's clear that it's been crafted a long time ago. Maybe they just changed how this skin dyed after they nerfed the HoD Sword, but it didn't effect the already excisting weapons of this skin.
  2. They insert a different way of an item dyes depending on where and how you get it. Maybe it's only the fact that I got the +5 Armor sword from a quest, and that it's just totally different from all other sword.
  3. The HoD Sword is actually the Gladius skin, and the +5 Armor sword is actually the Short Sword skin, and those dye different. I've tested a Gladius, which dyes exactly the same as the HoD Sword, but I don't have a Short Sword, can anyone else test this?

I haven't heard of any skin dying in different ways before..
That's very interesting, although I can't really tell what the difference that you're referring to is. Are you talking about the hilt, the blade, or what?

I remember a thread on GWO recently where someone was saying their collector fire staff was undyable (when that skin is normally dyable). Never heard of the same skin dying in different ways, though.

Also tried the "show off your mesmer" thread but its all mesmer females lol and I need to see Mesmer male.

Erm, I don't see how we're supposed to help you- "a good dye mix" is entirely subjective. If you're looking for a particular shade, we can try and help you figure out a mix for it, or you can experiment with three- or four-dye mixes on your own, using the dye chart as a reference.

How about a mix for cherry blossom pink for the Shing Jea monk armor? Nothing seems to come out with a pretty pink -- just purply.

I used Silver + red + red on mine and it is a nice shade of pink. Not too light, but not red either.

Well, saying you didn't like the dye charts is rather disappointing, since that's the basis for a lot of dye ideas. And you may want to give a more descriptive idea of a "good dye combo," since you didn't like the ones provided. And many of the Tyrian Mesmer armors dye similarly for both Male and Female, with Male tending to be a tad darker. If you don't like the black dye, pick a couple colors you do like and have at it.

Creativity is the best combo.
Yeah thanks anyway lol, I decided to try some combos, and actually wasted 25k on dyes O_o, then didnt like anything and decided.

Meh might aswel try all black .

And definatly in my opinion looks the best, because you will never get a white on that armor, only grey.

Black on mesmer just looks, posh, like what a mesmer should be ^_^.

Anyways, I wish i could afford the mesmer FOW coat because thats my favorite armor in the whole game.

I have another dye question. On Guildwiki, this image was listed as dyed blood red, yet it doesn't say what the color combo is. Can someone please tell me what it is? I would apreciate that.

That's the next armor I plan to get, and I actually planned on making it that color- if I find a combo that works I'll post it here

"Blood red" = Green + blue + purple + dye remover (or red).

Since the filename for that pic says "undyed mask", I'm not sure if that's actually dyed or not- blood red is deeper than red/undyed.

what kind of pink? if u want a light pink u might consider getting 1,5k rogue, cos 15k cant be dyed in ligth colors, the lightest u can get is red+sil+sil, but this mix looks darker on 15k rogue compare to 1,5k rogue....

Your Monk FoW armors are totally off, blue + remover makes pink, you said brown, yellow + orange makes dark yellow, not light blue.

Didnt feel like trying the rest of them, since it would just be a waste of money.

Monks Astetic FoW has been 'fixed' some time ago. It now dyes same as others.

Can anyone check if the old Astetic-FoW armors still dye like they used to, or do they dye as new ones?

If you bought your Monk FoW from before the update it will Dye like the chart shows. If you bought it after this update it will Dye like the rest of the Monk Armors.

They'd all produce dark greens, though the last (3 blacks) would be the darkest. I never noticed much of a difference when using multiple blacks or silvers to make something darker or lighter, so you might just want to use one black and save your money.

The only thing I can think to try would be Blue+Silver+Blue, but I doubt it will give the same effect, though it should be similiar.

I'm trying to get a bright blue for my new Canthan Necro Facial Scar pattern. However, I can only seem to get a dark blue or a gray hue. I finally settled with a silver-remover-silver just to get a plain silver. I've spent probably 20k already just trying to find a combo with other colors as well(at least I saved the results!), but no go Any suggestions as to what will make it "bright" instead of "dark"?

It's been my experience that black on Armor (plate etc) is more of a wash in most cases, and simply dulls the base color (i.e Kurzick Warrior Armor). If it is used on clothing (mes, etc) it seems to work as a true dye. No doubt the restriction is due to the limited amount change allowed based on game mechanics.

I've dyed the cuirass in the image below in the best pink i have found for female kurzick 15k.

Silver > red



If that's too subtle, you can make it deeper by just using the red ;p

Does black negate silver when mixing? Or silver negate black? For example would red + black + silver = red?

No, Red+Black+Silver would be a "Shiny-Darkred," but thats not really a perfect description just an idea of how it works.

Bored with a little bit of money in the beta so I decided to start a chart for the Sunspear, dervish set, problem is that I'm a couple of combos out... Notably all the silver and 4 red dye out - I'm going to keep farming for cash but I'd like to try to finish it off quickly. Dervish armour dyes strangely.

If anyone feels like donating to the cause (ie dye), my IGN is the same as my login here - Lady Lozza.

Would anyone mind revealing a dye chart for 15k Male Assassin Kurzick Armor. Or at least link me to a post about it. I'm just curious as to the variations. Actually I'm thinking of a color that matches my character's hair color which is Auburn-ish.. Thanks in advance.

Also, I'm curious about the 8k Female Monk Ascetics Armor (Water Pattern). I'd like to have some views of the colors for those tattoos. I'm thinking about using some sort of bright yellow/white color.

All combos are 1 + 1 of the respective colours, just had stacks of 8 when I took the screen shot.
