Shield Dying - Guild Wars Forums

Mr Jazzy · Jul 18, 2005, 07:25 AM // 07:25

hi, i'd like to know if there is any shield where the bulk of it could be dyed red (or any other color). i just wanna know since i would like to keep my warrior's red theme going, and the shield i have right now seems a little close-minded. maybe the eternal shield could be tinted red instead of blue? who knows?
HELP!! thanks

*edit* oh yeah, and show your best looking shields if you could

If you want to go with the red theme I would suggest a magma shield. I'm not sure if it can be dyed, but from what I would imagine, it looks good with red.

screenshot?

TheGreatBoo · Jul 18, 2005, 07:42 AM // 07:42

Well, the best I have is a shadow shield. My friend is the one who has it. After cycling through my screenshots, I don't seem to have one of it. I'll group with him sometime soon though and leave you a screenshot.

well you can dye a small portion of a skull shield...looks like the shadwo shield but its silver(shadwo shield is black)

Mr Jazzy · Jul 18, 2005, 07:46 AM // 07:46

well ive been searching the forums and i cant find screenshots of magma shields..
anyone got screens of shadows/eternals dyed?

TheGreatBoo · Jul 18, 2005, 07:48 AM // 07:48

I don't think you can dye shadows or eternals, considering the fact that I have yet to see any of them dyed haha.

plop · Jul 18, 2005, 07:48 AM // 07:48

here is the magma shield..I think it would look pretty good with your red theme
because of the red/orange glow of the mouth

Mr Jazzy · Jul 18, 2005, 07:51 AM // 07:51

...whoa.
can i dye that grey looking skull part too?

plop · Jul 18, 2005, 08:03 AM // 08:03

i dont know i never tried to dye it but these shields arent hard to find and wont cost you much.

TheGreatBoo · Jul 18, 2005, 08:04 AM // 08:04

Thanks alot plop. It looks good with alot of things, and not alot of people use them, so it'll be more original. And I'm not sure if you can dye it or not.

plop · Jul 18, 2005, 08:10 AM // 08:10

thank you and i really like the looks to. I use this over my eternal shield as i think it looks better and like you said more original

Rabid Weasel · Jul 18, 2005, 12:10 PM // 12:10

I've got a magmus shield, and when you dye it it only dyes the very edge around the shield, and even then there isn't much noticeable difference. The skull face doesn't change at all. Hope that helps.

Fungus Amongus · Jul 18, 2005, 12:57 PM // 12:57

Bucklers will dye completely.

Spartan2 · Jul 18, 2005, 01:05 PM // 13:05

You can dye shadow shields. The only noticable dying surface are the eyes. I dyed mine green awhile back. Kind of hard to tell but it is dyable.

Mugon M. Musashi · Jul 18, 2005, 01:12 PM // 13:12

defenders are originally red

Mr Jazzy · Jul 18, 2005, 01:50 PM // 13:50

dang, the defender looks good. anyone willing to sell me one

*edit* oh yeah, and to change it up a bit (since this is my topic

), what should i look for when buying the shield? like what mods

Mugon M. Musashi · Jul 18, 2005, 02:39 PM // 14:39

first you should check the requirement (strength or tactics)
then maybe health bonuses

Swampgirl Inez · Jul 18, 2005, 02:44 PM // 14:44

I had a tower shield at one time with the same graphic as that defender. Don't know if that is changed though; I saw a tower shield a while back that looked just like a tall shield.

Mugon M. Musashi · Jul 18, 2005, 03:06 PM // 15:06

some items have exactly the same look, the same purpose, the same requirement BUT different names
I really don't know why the hell ArenaNet decided to do this
