I just found out something quite strange. Apperiantly, different versions of a certain skin can vary when dying them. I was trying out dyes today, and noticed my Silver dye looked different on two of my swords.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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..
