Hey
My video qualities are always on max, so thats no it.
And it looks the same even when outside.
And i know its not designed that way (think i mentioned this earlier) ive tried it with silver and green and it looks fine...
Heres the armor with blue and green. there is one part on the right shoulder ive noticed with all colors that is black and must be part of the the design. You can notice it on the pictures with black dye, but i dont think it can have anything to do with the rest of the colored rim above that being silver....
Also you can see with these colors that the buckle strap thingys around the waist also chage color, which turned silver with the black dye....
If anyone can think of a solution, maybe mixing 3 black dyes which i heard makes an ultra black id be willing to try it.
Thanks for all the help
Peace

Gorebrex: The order you mix the Dyes does not matter at all period. There is no combination of mixing YSSS that will result in a different outcome.

Zizou: I don't know what to say, its most likely just some non-perfected part of the armor or something. But Mixing 3 Blacks won't do you any good since the result will be the same as using 1 Black. But if you want to test it to prove it I wont stop you.

My 15k female druid's armor is currently dyed white (3 silver + yellow) but I'm growing bored of that. I was wondering, does anyone know how to make that nice pinkish color you often see on that armor? Is it just the traditional red + purple?

EDIT: Ooh, I see it on the charts on the front page. /doh ! >>;

I've tried silver mixed with dye remover to get white, but it just makes the mask lighter. No luck there. Still haven't found a clear white mix yet. While S+S+S+Y might wirk on female ranger armor, it doesn't work on most other armor sets.
Got a nice minty color (cyan) in my warrior's FoW + mask now (green + blue + 2x dye remover. bottle will look red, but that's not important. result is great.)

hi, i have been looking and trying some (alot) of dye mixes already
but i cant seem to find any info about mixing, i am sure its a 3 or 4 dye mix, and not just 1 i can find on a chart of 2x2...
but maybe 1 of you can hint me in the right direction...

i found 1 screenshot of a female ranger in 15k druid armor (the exact same one i have so to speak) and she dyed it in the perfect color, however i dont know her name or anything so i cant ask that person what mix she used




i have a screenshot of my own character, where i tried several mixes out...
my skirt for example is red+silver+silver+silver but that just looks like a red skirt who has been in the washing mashine 100 times in a row.
my boots if i can remember they are red+Blue+silver+dye remover
but thats still to dark
i also tryed, purple + dye rem and red + dye rem but both aare to dark
red + blue or red + purple dont give the desired tint either
and someone mentioned yesterday something bout blue + blue + dye remover + dye remover which is some form of pink but its more like reflecting pink, not soft pink.

Hi all, I hope I am posting this in the correct place... if not, Im sorry.

About 3 weeks ago I saw a female monk wearing FOW asentics armor, and I LOVED the dye color.

Her armor looked black, but when you walked around her, it had a green tint to it. The green tint was ONLY where the glare was... the rest was pure black. It was almost multi-toned in the sunlight.

I asked her what dye she used, she simply said "Black and red"

I was so excited, and I got my FOW armor last night that I have been saving for. I mixed the black and red... and what I got was a burgundy type color.

It looks nothing like the monk I saw that was wearing pure plack with a green shiny tint to it.

Any ideas? I wanted it so much for my female FOW monk.

And if you think you have seen this message on other websites... your right. I will stop at nothing.

Korukyu: Red+Silver+Purple is the same as Red+Silver+Dye Remover for Eles
I'm not so sure that's entirely true. 1.5k male aeromancer armor from droks has some weird effects, especially the shoes. if i dye the shoes most colors, it changes the lightning bolt color, but if i dye it purple, it changes the rest of the shoe color to a darker purple; its weird.

Boo, I assume you are trying to find a gold that matches your 15k Glads and Dragon Mask? Only things I can come up with are Green+Orange+Silver+Silver, or Yellow+Orange+Silver. The two armors seem to Dye similiarly.

Saelfaer, have you tried Red+Blue+Silver+Silver? Or Red+Silver+Silver, I know you said you tried 3 Silver, but using just two should be less "faded".

The Great Al, you should try: Silver+Blue+Blue if its too light try again with 3 Blues. If that is still too light Blue+Purple+Silver.

patevan, I don't know what to suggest, I have seen what you are talking about before, but it was on Warrior Luxon Armor(sort of like what you where talking about atleast). But without using lots of Black Dyes I can't think of much. It was most likely though just a trick of the light in the area you where at.


Like always there is no guarntee that any of these will work.

Hi, I'm trying to make a complicated dye, but I don't have a lot of money to spend on it. I can buy 4 different dyes for each piece of armor, but I can't really afford blacks .

The dye I want to make is for 15k Warrior kurzik armor, that will go well with strongroots shelter. I want the dye to me darkish blue-green, with a semi metalic lust. Idk if this is possible without using black, but if someone good with dyes could post a good guess to try, I'd be happy to try it!

Thanks in advance.

I was looking for a strong golden color for my 15k glads and now having the dragon mask a similar color for it

Green+Orange+Silver+Silver = lighter than base color
Yellow+Orange+Silver = see attach

The dye mixes for 15k kurzick female ritualist will have the same effect as the dye mixes for the 1.5k kurxick ritualist armor, correct?

A nice gold that I used once is green + orange + silver (+silver). It's a deep golden color with 1 silver, and lighter with 2.

Konut, Green+Blue+Purple+Green is all I can come up with that doesn't use a Black, the Kurzick Warrior armor is oddly really bright(really doesn't match the territory :/).

Queso Loco, I doubt you will be able to match your armor to the color of that mask without using Black, but if you want a mix to try, go for: Green+Blue+Blue+Blue, thats the darkest Blue I can think of without involving Black.

stunt_killer, someone will do it eventually, but with the price of Dyes right now don't expect to see too many charts anytime soon.

CapBloodie, we don't put Black in the Charts b/c its too expensive. I can think two mixes that are probably the Blackest Black you can get, but they will cost you: Purple+Black+Black+Black or Green+Black+Black+Black. If you want to try something a little less expensive, just take the first two from each of those Green(or Purple)+Black, this won't have as much of an effect, but it may help a little. Also if this is for Warrior Armors they are naturally "shiny" so its impossible to get rid of that.

Boo, it seems that the Dragon masks really like to be more Yellow, so I would try Sjeng's suggestion, if its not what you want, then try: green+orange+silver+orange. It will probably be a better plan to find a gold for the mask then match the armor to it.

Primeval King, they won't be exactly the same, but they should be close enough that you can use the charts interchangables with fairly good accuracy.

You can use multi Dye mixes on the Dragon Masks, but they strongly favor Yellow/Orange.

Fezz thank you for making the dye charts there great, but I'm having some trouble with my new male Monk FOW astetic. armor. I want a nice rich blue. Like the combo of Orange and Green on your FOW mnk tatoos chart, but it comes out some red. And just blue isnt cutting it. looks faded.. I've spent 20+k on trying other combos including black+blue nothing comes out how I want it. I have a screen shot of a mnk w/ fow dyed the color I'm looking for but its female, and it might not be the astetic set. Can you help me out? Thank you.

waiver, can you post a pic with what your idea of Cyan is?

eatchldrn, if you could post a pic I would be able to help more.

Rob, first off, the chart I have posted for the Monk FoW armor is out of date. There was an update that made it dye like normal stuff. I haven't started with the new chart to replace it, but it will come eventually. But in the meantime the Monk FoW armor should Dye similiarly to its 15/1.5k counterparts. There will be a slight differenc but it will be more accurate than the current chart.

eatchldrn, try dropping either the Green or Purple from your mix on the darker parts(BGR or BPR). Thats all I can think of without creating a completly new mix to match.

Liquid, your chart has been added to the list.

Real life has hit me, or really stabbed me in the back! XD Therefore, I'm going to have to put off the Seitung Ritualist chart a little bit. I'll post it when I do get it done, but no guarantees when!

BTW, the last dye chart I did was done outside of Minister Cho's Estate on Shing Jea Island, backed up against a mahogany pillar.

Male mesmer 15K Kurzick dye chart



Not my work (I could never afford all that dye), but posted here for reference. 1.5K Kurzick male mesmer dyes the same way, and all mesmer Kurzick armors come with the bright green base color.

I have a question, I am currently re-dying my female monk fissure armor, when I apply the dye mix it does not ignore the previous color.

Am I just doing something wrong or whats going on?

Are you certain that it isn't ignoring the previous mix? If you are basing your assumption on the chart in the list thats your problem, that chart is out-of-date so you won't be able to get those results.

The chest piece had never been dyed before and I used a Purple/Red/Silver Mix on it which is the color I want.

The legs, sandals, arm pieces had already been dyed green and when every I apply the mix the green only becomes a lighter green for some reason. Only the undyed piece dyed to the color I wanted it to.

Well, thats really strange. Have you tried using a Dye Remover on the Armor before applying the mix? If that doesn't fix the problem then the only other thing I can imagine is that the parts other than the chest Dye differently for some reason.

Yes, I tried dye remover and that makes the armor orange/yellowish but it does not fix the probolem. I bought the chest piece a week ago and the other piece were much older, maybe this is an issue?
