oldschool black dye (ranger fow) - Guild Wars Forums

pumpkinkingTBC · Mar 14, 2011, 06:42 AM // 06:42

I have been experimenting on the dye for my female ranger obsidian armor and i have gotten nothing close to what i really want =[

-3xblack dyes +1x silver dye
Ive been wasting most of my money attempting to achieve this color but it never comes close to the real thing:

I can only hope to get somewhere near it =]

i would like to hear from you guys if there is such a possibility to gaining such a color.
(sorry for bad picture quality my graphics card isnt that great)

Isn't that just simple grey or just 1 black dye? Seems like grey to me x)

I had the similar problem I found 2 combos that work well to match that type of colour try: Blue+grey or 2x blues+grey or 1 black+grey or 2blacks+1 grey that may or may not work did for me just try the dark dyes with a mix of either silver or dark grey

I agree. It's gotta have grey in it, 1 Grey & 1 Black maybe?

From an old dye recipe: green+orange+purple

Experiment with those 3, sometimes a fourth dye is necessary and sometimes just green+purple works.

i found another picture of the "oldschool black dye"

it looks so awsome yet i am still unable to portray its charcoal colors
this is as close as i got and yet i am not satisfied whatsoever =p

IS there no other way to somewhat duplicate the sexiness =[
