Hmm, okay. I know this is being finicky in terms of details. But...




The default 'dye remover' purple on elementalist armor is a tad lighter than the dye purple. I just felt like Testing it to see how different red+purple and red+remover came out. There's a slight difference. It's a nice way to save money, but I like the more vibrant pink . Maybe I'm just weird, but I knew I wasn't completely looney. It's a bit more...washed out.

...Yeah, so I can't make a dye chart. This is my way of contributing .

Anyone know if there is a really nice barbie-pink color for Necromancers 15k Tormentors.. I've tried a few combinations but they either turned out Purple or more Purplish- Pink.. but not the Pink like on the Elementalist armor that is posted a few posts before mine.

Anyone an Idea or is it not do-able?

Hey guys...I was wondering if you could help me find a good brown for my Warrior FOW Armor. So Far R+G(+S/+Bk) and O+G Variants havent really cut it, I even tried to use Orange+Black, but the contrast was WAY too high. I'm just looking for a good dull rock/brown/earth color.

An odd request, but has anyone ever tried to get the brown shown in the character select screen on 15k Druid's? I would assume it would perfectly match the brown of the chest on the female armor (which is my goal), but am unsure as to how it's mixed. O+G gets VERY close (a touch too intense, more of a chocolate than a leather color in my eyes), but has anyone tried to tweak the color with any success?

Also, a potentially stupid question; is it possible to lessen the power of dye remover? For example, if one mixed R+B with a vial of remover, and then mixed the resulting combination with another vial of R+B, would the value of the color associated with that armor (the remover) be halved in the final mix? Or would the "4 vial maximum" rule take effect somehow?

Amraphren: That would be 5 Dyes so it wouldn't mix. I came up with 3 ideas for your Brown though: O+G+Remover, O+G+Y, O+G+S. The one with the Dye Remover I am not to sure what will happen since it can act strange, but I think they should all 3 keep the basic Brown Color with differing shades of darkness(I hope atleast).

haunted: I have three options that might work: B+G+S(like you mentioned), and B+G+B, B+G+B+S. If none of those came close and you just want to spend another 600g you could also try B+G+B+B, but that one is really just pulled kind of randomly from my head.

Anyway, no guarntees that these will work the way I imagined or turn out the way you wanted, but good luck with them.

Can someone plz help me. I keep on trying to get a dark deep red on my 15k Luxon warrior armour. And so far ive only got pink. Does anyone know any mixes that create a dark deep red?

Thanks loads, Fezz! Your idea of using O+G+S resulted in the best possible match, and thanks for the 4-dye-rule reminder as well.

Around how much does it cost to make a two-dye mix chart excluding black?

I'm thinking of doing one for 15k Luxon Male Monk Armor

It takes 8 of each Dye(including Dye Remover), I would say it usually ranges from 7-10k depending on the cost of each Dye at the time and depending on where you get the Dye(players or merchant).

Edit: Added 15k Warrior Canthan and Luxon. They turned out darker than I was expecting, but they still work.

I checked the merchant a few days ago because I was wondering this exactly. If you were to buy all your dyes from the merchant, and you did every 2 dye combo except those with black, you would end up buying 8 of each dye (plus 7 dye removers).

Last I checked, dyes at the merchant sold for:

Blue - 160 * 8 = 1280
Green - 150 * 8 = 1200
Purple - 110 * 8 = 880
Red - 180 * 8 = 1440
Yellow - 120 * 8 = 960
Orange - 100 * 8 = 800
Silver - 750 * 8 = 6000
Remover - 50 * 7 = 350

Altogether, that comes to 12,190 gold.

Just for curiousity's sake I calculated a full 2-dye chart with black included:
Blue - 160 * 9 = 1440
Green - 150 * 9 = 1350
Purple - 110 * 9 = 990
Red - 180 * 9 = 1620
Yellow - 120 * 9 = 1080
Orange - 100 * 9 = 900
Silver - 750 * 9 = 6750
Black - 8500 * 9 = 76500

Altogether, 14130 for everything BUT black, 90630 including black. Not exactly cheap! :P
Remover - 50 * 8 = 350

Correct. One has to remember this is a user contributed thing. Can't expect him to spend that much on black dyes for each armor. Thats just crazy.

If you are trying to Dye your Monk Fissure Tatoos and its coming out way different then the way though Dye was changed, if not then it probably b/c you are Dyeing a different Armor(Sacred, Judges, ect.).

That is crazy. That is also why I said, "Just for curiousity's sake." Heck, I wouldn't expect anyone to do a chart with Black...I'm sure as heck not! (I've done three charts thus far, working on my fourth).

I believe there is a pic of that mix in the old thread. If your monk has light skin it will be a white with a slight blue tint, and if you have dark skin it will be a silvery-white.


Before Factions came out doing charts that included Black wasn't too bad, so long as you limited how many you did. When I did the 3 Dye mixes for Black I think I used 50+ Black Dyes and it cost around 350k. So considering the size of that project it wasn't that bad.

Yeah, i'm trying to dye my Female Monk FoW Asectics.
Is there an updated color chart on here for that?


Also, I was using this chart for my monks fissure:

http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/483...saintly0za.jpg

It's the 15k saintly one, and I used 1 blue + the 2 silvers, and it sorta came out the same.
But you know how on the top and the left dye reference things show the color of the dye, then the number of dye it has/needs?
Do you need as many dyes as it shows? Or just 1 of each.

Sorry if that kinda confusing.

That chart, and all the others that say 2 Dye mixes, only show the affects of two dyes at a time. To read the chart just find a color and then the Dyes above it and to its left are the ones needed to make that mix.

I haven't done another Monk Fissure chart b/c I had not tested or seen proof that it was actually changed.

If you don't mind I will try to find you in-game and do a quick test on your Fissure armor to see if I need to make a new chart.

Edit: Maybe I won't try to find you since your ign isn't listed. But try to find me when you are online.

15K Canthan for a Male Warrior. There are some nice colors in Fezz's color chart but nothing that really looks "gold".

No problem.

Looking at the chart, you might try the usual "gold" dye mix, (Y+S)+(O+S). That's about 2k. I'd wait for Fezz's opinion, too, though.

Like Astraea suggested, the standard YOSS(order doesn't matter) will be for the most part the same across all the Warrior Armors. There will be slight variations, but that should be close.

bobert: Black will make Necro Scars, Black. They changed them to Dye normally.
