Dyeing odd items

Anyone know what happens when you dye a shadow shield and eternal shield, or storm bow?

Is it the same thing that happens to a chaos axe? I don't feel like wasting dyes to try.

I think there have been test with Storm Bows and the Dye is barely noticable. I think black dye makes it a little darker.

Eternal Shield, Ive dyed mine purple and the icons looks very purple but then when its equipped it looks the same

Shadow shield I ve never tried

You can dye a shadow shield, but it changes very little.

Made mine silver so the eyes are a bit brighter

so basically it is waste of dye money XD

Dye can be a very big waste of gold:

- Orange looks good on your 'I' screen, but is brown in-game (just as if it was never dyed).
- Red is dark pink when applied to brown armor
- Green is good and shows up on armor
- Purple shows up on armor well also
- Blue shows up well
- Yellow is just like Orange - crap on armor that is brown-based.

Mix and match. Test and waste gold. Find your combo. I have never dyed a weapon.

You might also notice that dye remover actually has an effect on some armor as it comes (ie. undyed armor); so that's something to experiment with too.

I noticed this effect with my el's pyromancer armor. Done on 2 different vests, once silver added to unmodified vest, came out silvery-purple. Took another vest and used dye remover first, noticed a little difference so hit it with a silver dye, and it came out white, looks like snow.
I'm not sure if it will make a difference with everything, but you might want to try using dye remover before adding any colors.

Is it possible to dye El heapieces? IE the Flaming Eye? I am using a Fire/Earth setup, and have a nice Flaming Eye that gives +2 to Fire Magics, but the suit of armor I wear was built around a blue theme. If I use a blue dye on the Eye, will it turn into a blue flaming object?

Tired to dye my eye last night and it won't work

You get a +2 to fire magic from a headpiece dont they only give plus one ???

They give more if you add a rune to them

Boo =(

Well... that stinks.
