Black Dye? - Guild Wars Forums

XMLXVIII · Aug 04, 2007, 11:12 AM // 11:12

Hi there guys, i havent played for a long long time but it didnt take me long to notice that they have changed black dye completely, is there a way to combine dyes to make it look like the old style? i want my old style black dye on my obsidian armor for my warrior/ranger and monk.

Please advise.

Either try Black+Grey or Black+Black. That worked on my monk fow.

You can't mix Black+Black Chilli. lol

The bottom line is that you may not be able to get the old style black on the armor you wear. Different armors dye differently. I don't know if you can get search to work, but there was a popular thread here a couple months back that gave some peoples formulas for achieving 'old black'. Maybe you can find it.

Ya i meant Black+Black+Grey

Tried it 2 hours ago on my colossal and it worked fine. Though i didn't apply, just watched the dye preview.

some people may still be selling the old black dyes for a very high price still....

Old black dyes? The color overlays for armor were changed, not the dyes.

On Warrior 15k Platemail old black = Black + Black + White + Silver

Use the preview window and try out different combos.
