Anybody have a screen shot of GGB used on 15k kurzick male assasin armor. I was looking at the charts and the color in the bottle looked interesting and wondering how it looks once applied. If nobody has any screenshots i may just have to try it and find out.

Thanks for the help in advance

I've been struggling with what dye to use for Kurzick 15k female monk armor. I know most people like to dye it black I'd prefer a brighter color if possible.

Has anyone ever tried to apply a goldish color to this armor?

Thanks,
TK

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.

Thanks for the suggestions I think I have 6 or 7 silvers stashed on the mule right now, unless Fezz has a better idea, Ill try the cheap route first Then try the expensive route and see which one looks better.

Thanks for the input

Give me about a week and I'll try to get the money together to buy this armor and do a dye chart for it. Female should be approximately equivalent to male.

Is there a way to make female ranger white coloured armour? If so, what type of armour would it be and what dye combination would it require?

Hello, do you have any idea how I'd get a nice bright pink color for my female ritualist's 15k Kurzick armor? I was thinking red+yellow+silver might do the trick, but i don't want to fork out the money yet if you already know.

From what I've seen, quite a few of the female ranger armors dye white quite nicely. Looking at the dye charts, 1.5k Drakescale has a nice silvery white with just a silver dye. Other than that one, I don't know (off the top of my head) what other armors dye white.

As far as I know, I'm the only one doing Female Ritualist (or any Ritualist, for that matter). I have not yet tried finding a pink dye, but I'll try a couple mixes. Assuming 1.5k dyes the same as 15k, I might be able to find a mix. Are you looking for a bubble-gum pink?

Well, this last chart was a long time coming. Forgive me, but I didn't have time to do any pink combos. Here is 2 Dye Mixes on Ritualist Luxon Armor (F). My next project is 1.5k Ritualist Seitung.

Hmm usually I just spend about 4-6k on 4 ingredient dye mixes, every time I get a new armor. When I have found a nice mix, I buy them for the rest of my armor pieces. If I would tell, it wouldnt be so special anymore.

Hate to quote my own post but I am still wondering if anyone has a clue.. I am currently broke so I cannot experiment with any colors at all.

Can you tell us what mixes you have tried and what was wrong with them. It will save those who want to help time and money if they don't have remake the same mixes you did.

RE: Bubblegum pink on nec, tormentor's

ok, I'd start with 1 blue 2 red, screenshot that so we can see how it looks.

RE: General Dying - NOTE TO ALL FACTION PLAYERS
I have noticed a general trend in Factions armours for 3/+ dye mixes to not change the colour noticeably from the 2 dye mixes. Monk, Necro, Ele, Rit, Ranger, Assassin - consider this a warning in experiementing with 3/+ dye combos. Mesmer I'm unsure of since I dyed mine pink and left it that way, warrior I'm unsure of because I don't have one and none of my friends with warriors care about experimenting a little with dye.

Please note that this is NOTICEABLY different from the Prophecies armour, where the differences in 3 dye combos were OBVIOUSLY different to those of 2 dyes.

Please also note that I have not done extensive research on this, just noted it in my own experimentation to find the perfect colour for my characters.

According to THIS site, which I find pretty usefull, mixing more than 2 of the same dyes doensn't do a thing.

Quote:
If you combine four dyes with three of the same colour, the result is the same as if you had combined one with two of the same colour. For example:
(Silver + yellow x3 = silver + yellow x2)
This also applies if you make a double upon dyes
(Silver x2 + yellow x2 = silver + yellow)
Here's my own experimenting with Obsidian warrior armor.

Sjeng, Mixing two of the same Dye results in the same Dye, ONLY if you don't add another color to the mix. This means Silver+Silver=Silver, but Yellow+Silver+Silver != Yellow+Silver.

Where did you get that quote from, the first part is a complete lie?


bathory, If you haven't try Yellow+Silver+Silver+Silver, the 3rd Silver might be what you need.

On Warrior Armors Dye Remover = Yellow Dye.


jjtrasher, If you can afford all that stuff thats in your avatar then you can afford the 3 Silver Dyes to make that mix. Also, check the old Dye Thread, I am almost positive that a pic of the Chaos Axe with the YSSS mix was posted there.

Sejeng - when mixing dyes, the Y+S makes a whole new dye. Applying sliver to silver does nothing.
Applying silver to a mix of gold-ish dye would lighten it. Go mess with fingerpaints.

I posted the link to the site where it is explained, please read before replying.

And what you say here is exactly what I said.

All I was saying is yellow = yellow + yellow, and yellow + yellow + silver = yellow + yellow + yellow + silver.
I tried it, and there is no difference between adding 2 or 3 of the same color with 1 other color. The site seems to be correct.

Did I say otherwise? don't think so.

People, please read a post before commenting on it, it's annoying to have to re-explain yourself over and over.

as far as I've seen, the masks can be dyed brightly, as if it were white as a basis. So the standard mix for pink should work fine.
I think it's purple and dye remover (perhaps 2 removers) and maybe add a silver. not sure though.

Sheng, the assumption that SYY=SYYY may be true for a small sample of mixes, but I have seen with my own eyes that mixes have 2 and 3 of the same Dye result in different colors. A prime example is Monk Tatoos on a dark-skinned Monk, using YSS results in a very white mix, while added the 4th Silver causes the armor to become to Silver based and look a pale blue.

The reason I believe that the website says that adding the 3rd of a same Dye doesn't affect the results is b/c the tests they did where done on armors where that color wouldn't affect the outcome enough for most people to see. But you can ask anyone who tries to make the "White" Dye and YSS != YSSS.


Since it has been requested on the two forums I read now, I guess I will go ahead and do the chart for the Dragon Masks.

Edit: Due to requests from multiple places here is it: 2 Dye Mixes on Dragon Festival Masks.

Ok so i read through like 20 pages and didnt see this one so sry if someone has covered it. I put black dye on my 15k necro cultist tunic and leggings and the leggings came out clear, but black on the tunic is like blotchy and only half colored(on the parts that normaly color). when i had it dyed silver it was perfect clear silver for example. now its like....well blotchy is the only word i can think of. take a look for yourself



see on the back how you can still see red. and on the sholder blades it should be all black and on the metal on the front. any ideas?

Here's my own experimenting with Obsidian warrior armor.
that is not true... because with my warior i was trying to find a good white dye formula. because the simple yellow+silver+silver wasnt workin for me. i tried dye remover+silver+silver and it worked ok. so i tried it again with 3 silvers and it was a little brighter. then again with 4. and it was again brighter almost to perfection. so once i save up the money i am going to try it again with 5 silvers and hope for the best. so yes putting more dyes of the same color into a combination does effect the outcome of the dye.

Zizou Le Dieu: Open the image in MS Paint and save it as a .jpeg, the quality won't be the best, but it will get the point across. I don't really understand what you where saying so the picture would help a lot.

The Herbalizer: Mixing 2, 3, or 4 of the same color and no other(only one color) results in the color you started with. So Black+Black+Black would just be a super expensive Black Dye.

Daemon: I think some of your numbers might be off by a little, since the most Dyes you can mix together is 4.

Ok think i got the pics.
Now i was saying that the black on my 15k cultist tunic is blotchy or messy or not evenly colored. Look on the front plate (in circle) and u can see the lower half of it is black and then it fades to silver on the upper half. This is the same on the outer RIM of the shoulder parts (clearest on the one in circle), which is the part that always gets colored, its only black on the lower half then fades to silver on the upper half. On the back you can still see the base color red sticking out in some parts. But the waist strap, which is part of the leggings that i also dyed black, is evenly colored and dark, as well as the rest of the leggings.
Its not like the black is not dark on this armor or mixed with the base color, cause its correctly black in some places just not evenly black.... Ive asked a couple people in game to look at it (pro people btw) and they all think its not right. So if anyone has any ideas maybe mixing 3 blacks or something (heard that makes a darker black) please put them out there.
Thanks

Ok, I understand now.

Is your Video Quality set to max?
Have you looked at the armor closely while outside of town?
Have you tested another color to see if it has the same effect(who is to say thats not how it was designed)?
