Sol Faithman · Feb 07, 2006, 08:25 PM // 20:25

Here's my Ranger with 15k Druids in white (legs are 1.5k coz I think it looks better). Dye mix is simply yellow+silver+silver.

Yeah I was just on that forum and saw the pic, unless its lighting or photoshoped I do not know that formula for that.

Unless he used an obscene amount of silvers + yellows

I see what you mean about that color. It does appear to be the whitest I've seen. Given that location is someplace in Kryta (or someplace with the Kryta tileset), it's possible that the lighting is making it so. Notice that the light source is behind the model, so we're seeing the shade side.

Based on the discussion in that forum, I think that we can guess that it may just be silver or a mix of silver and yellow with good lighting.

In looking at that picture again, I think that we can see that the ground is definately more grey than the ground outside of "Gates of Kryta". Additionally, you can see a part of a stone wall behind them. This leads me to believe that the shot may be taken someplace in the Talmark Wilderness/ToA area or in the guild hall that has the stone structures (not warriors isle - but the one with the same map). In both cases, the sky is a little grey, making the yellow in a YSSS mix a bit less visible. Run auto-levels on the image and you might get that sharp white line as artifacts around the contrasting colors.

Trickery on purpose? Probably not. Convenient lighting? More than likely.

I put that picture of the 1.5k enchanters into imageready and played around with the eyedropper tool. If you sweep it across the enchanter's attire, you'll see that the colors pretty much appear to have a yellow component to them. Comparing with the glove, it's a bit more blue. I think that the glove might be BSSS.

I made a picture where you can compare the two mixes against the original picture. Note how the colors are similar on the highlights on the leg and arm in the YSSS example as well as the highlights on the BSSS example. I think you can see what I mean about the colors clearly now:

sledgeunderhill, the Mesmer enchanters?

I can gurantee it's not just silver or 3 silver + 1 yellow. Also, the first time I've seen that mesmer, I was doing UW with her, and it shows up even whiter there (unless that's a different mesmer I was with at the time) so I don't buy the lighting thing either.

btw, silver makes a grey-ish colour on mesmer clothing, the standard 'white' makes a ugly yellowish light colour, slightly lighter than the below pic of boots which were dyed with 2 silver + 1 yellow.

i tried this white dye on my 15k dragon armor(warrior), and it was somehow like...

maybe...
dunno...
a bit darker than the background color of this forum...
(sucks imo)

HDS · Feb 11, 2006, 10:52 PM // 22:52

wasted 10K experimentign with dyes to find out there is no dye to make monk tats white, the 3silver + yellow formula makes it a very very light blue.

like that kind of blue.

Bleidd · Feb 12, 2006, 03:36 AM // 03:36

Not sure if anyone posted this. 15k Geomancer, YSSS results in a very light tan, brighter than YS, but nothing resembling white.

Given that all Elementalist armour defaults to a light purple, I wonder if that has something to do with it.

OMFGimCUTE · Feb 12, 2006, 08:13 AM // 08:13

white dye is only for rangers

Numa Pompilius · Feb 12, 2006, 11:42 AM // 11:42

As someone is going to try it anyway I might aswell post it... this is what Y+S looks like on a Tormentor armor:

I seriously doubt there's a universal white dye. Hopefully in ch. 2.

Try purple+3silver then...

I was playing around with Dye Remover and silvers, I did DR-S-S-S on the top and skirt but for the gloves I learned DR-S-S works just as well but DR-S doesn't.

Anyway I applied this combo to an already silver Fanatic's set and it brought out a cool little pinkness to certain parts, and the pink designs in the arms are really nice.

I imagine you could do this to any color and get cool results.

Howdy,

My monk, Karmic Justice, wears tats. Back in the day, I dyed these tats yellow + silver to make a nice white-looking colour to match her hair. Along comes this recipie for white dye (yellow + silver + silver + silver), I come into a lot of cash, and I decide to try it out...

No difference.

I try x1yellow and x2 silver.

Again, no difference.

I redo my original x1 yellow/silver.

Still looks the same.

Thoughts?

Someone trying to jack up the price of silver?

I would suspect that the difference may show based on the type of item/material being dyed? I did the head tats on my monk with 2x silver/ 1x yellow blend. Looks white to me. Looks good on his tan too. I might get it done.

lg5000 · Feb 14, 2006, 10:55 PM // 22:55

It depends on your base colour, while just silver looks white on the monks desert collectors, the rangers white is the 3 silver + 1 yellow. Try that on a mesmer and it becomes a rather ugly creamy colour (my opinion) as for scars, they always had a different way of dying things and apparently, 8k necro scars will stay black even after dyed.

So.. not someone trying to jack up silver prices, just some of us experimenting with silver dyes.

PLEASE...IF YOU HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE WHITE DYE AND NOT SUCCESSFUL, PLEASE PUT THE EXACT STEPS AND DYE COLOR THAT TURNED OUT PLEASE!!!

Okay...this is really gay!

I just tried TWICE to make WHITE dye, but it's not working...

I've heard various folumas, but I can't seem to get this down...
This is what I did for my 2 tries:

TRIAL 1 (wasted 1,050g) ==> (Silver + Dye Remover + Silver)
Silver -> Dye Remover == Mixed Dye Remover (1) (bottle color turned lighter)

Mixed Dye Remover (1) -> Silver == Mixed Dye (bottle was dark red color)

...okay...I have Knight Boots and I tried this dark red looking vile thinking it was White...
WRONG! ...this was nothing more than the regular Dye Remover color...might be a little lighter, but almost can't notice...

TRIAL 2 (wasted 1,550g) ==> (Silver + Dye Remover + Silver + Silver)
Silver -> Dye Remover == Mixed Dye Remover (1) (bottle color turned lighter)

Silver -> Mixed Dye Remover (1) == Mixed Dye Remover (2) (bottle color turned lighter AGAIN)

Silver -> Mixed Dye Remover (2) == Mixed Dye Remover (2) (bottle color did NOT change color)

...okay...I tried this on my Knight Boots again thinking now THIS was White because it looked very light colored...
WRONG AGAIN! ...this was AGAIN nothing more than the regular Dye Remover color!

I've heard that the formula is:
Silver + Dye Remover + Silver + Silver
...okay...but what ORDER is the dye supposed to go into...this?

Silver -> Dye Remover == Mixed Dye Remover (1)

Mixed Dye Remover (1) -> Silver == Mixed Dye (2)

Mixed Dye (2) -> Silver == Mixed Dye (3) ?????

***Please Note...this is different from Trial 2***

Could you guys please tell me if this Formula is correct.
Also...if it IS correct, could you please tell me which dye is supposed to go into which bottle?

As I've noticed... Silver->Blue->Green vs. Silver->Green->Blue WILL result in a DIFFERENT color!

Thank you for those guys that KNOW what the formula is and help me out with this! I WAS going to try that formula above, but I don't have enough money at the moment...and don't want to waste my cash at the moment.

Thanks in advance!
