I accidentaly dyed my backpack purple...is there a way to undo this?
I thought it would preview like it does on everything else...
Thanks

hmmmm...try the gray dye which is sold by the merchant (it used to be a "dye remover"...but thats gone now)

if that doesn't work i think u'd have to either get the right colour combination (probably brown or yellow), or bye a new bag lol.

Niila · Mar 30, 2009, 06:15 PM // 18:15

Brown dye will do.

FengShuiDove · Mar 30, 2009, 06:16 PM // 18:16

Gray Dye should work. Although you really ought to just relish the fact that it's purple. I've got a Black Belt Pouch, obtained thinking the same thing you were =P.

Eragon Zarroc · Mar 30, 2009, 06:48 PM // 18:48

just dye em a color u like =D all mine are silver from silver dyes that i found and was too lazy to go to the dye trader and sell

Armadillo Rage · Mar 30, 2009, 07:57 PM // 19:57

The grey dye doesnt work, I will look for some brown dye. Can you pass things from your characters out of pre-searing to the ones in pre-searing? I heard that people kept characters in pre-searing to make money...do they then pass it out to their other characters?

Thanks

Do it.

Icy The Mage · Mar 30, 2009, 08:10 PM // 20:10

All mine are black D:
And my monk's are white

Besides, it's only a purple dye; not like it set you back anything anyways

Wyndy · Mar 30, 2009, 08:52 PM // 20:52

cant pass stuff between pre and post searing. There is a whole different economy in pre because of it.

Sorry, no. There was a glitch a long time ago that allowed pre-searing characters access to their guild hall, and therefore the storage chest. This allowed them to load up on max weapons and return them to Pre and sell for a HUGE profit. The glitch has long since been disabled, most of the max weapons have been removed. (The remaining weapons are hidden on a few characters - if they are discovered, I have heard that A-Net politely asks you to destroy or sear them or risk a ban.)

A few other hacks have allowed tomes into pre and a few mini-pets that should not be there (mini-mallyx, mini-pigs), all bannable if discovered.

There is an active market for max purple weapons in pre-searing, some of them reach the 200K+ range, and ones with an +18% vs Charr mod are worth the most.

Farming in Pre can be profitable, simply because there is a limited number of items that the foes can drop, and at event times there is a better chance of special drops than other places in Post.

Pre-Searing also has an easy way to farm alcohol, the ability to collect 4 Hunter's ales in about 10 minutes or less, if you know how to do it right. This is available year round, regardless of the season or event.

ah, thanks guys

Raven Wing · Mar 30, 2009, 10:00 PM // 22:00

There is a way to pass money and items out from pre-searing. Simply find a person you trust, have him/her make a pre char and hand it the stuff and have it leave pre. Or if you can manage to play 2 copies of Guildwars, that requires 2 accounts, you can do it yourself. But its one-way, as said there is no way to get it back in pre.

imnotyourmother · Mar 31, 2009, 01:26 PM // 13:26

Yeah, Presearing is my all time fav area. I have almost got the MOST powerful toon in pre..lvl 19 with a fire imp. Its sick.

There are great places to farm mobs as noted above by micosay. I do believe that his estimate on the hunters ales is a tad tong too. It takes EXACTLY 2 minutes to run from Fort Ranik to the bears - up and over the hill. Running 2 accounts simply agro the bears to the "bush" and with the other account start the challenge. From there kill ONE bear and get 2 ales and then repeat and get the other 2 ales. There are 6 bears there but it takes longer to run to the bears than to "resign" and run for 4 more ales.

I can get 50-56 ales an hour this way.

The point? You asked about making gold. Sell these hunter ales for 100 gold in ascalon. Please do not sell 4. Save them and sell at least 10. I normally sell when I have 100 and get 10K.

Wait your not done. You can then trade that 10K for 20K post gold. Yes I have done this but at 50K a pop.

So in you can make 100K a day (post) just with hunters ales. Now that is Killa..

Gets super boring after a week though. I am getting thirsty...is it Miller Time?

Why exactly do people dye bags anyways? It's not like anybody else can see them... plus the wiki says you don't get a preview.

chocodiledundee · Mar 31, 2009, 02:09 PM // 14:09

makes them feel better i suppose

Mournblade · Mar 31, 2009, 03:06 PM // 15:06

they stand out more, they match your characters colors better, etc. I dye everything I can.

chocodiledundee · Mar 31, 2009, 03:14 PM // 15:14

But with the exclusion of armor and weapons its just waxing you ego really

imnotyourmother · Mar 31, 2009, 04:58 PM // 16:58

those belt pouches cost 5 scale fins in ascalon. It is cheaper just to get one there and have it run to post...or any other noob area for that matter

Junato · Mar 31, 2009, 05:31 PM // 17:31
