I Quite like it! ^^

Im a big fan of nice color schemes that people think up of themselves.

My wife really likes the blue on that armor. Also a nice combination.

My PC crashed so Im not really any further ahead unfortunately! This week though I should be able to get a good jump on getting my Kurzicks. I think Ill definitely start there.. love the long coat!

After that I may upgrade to 15K then FoW or some combo. What Effigy said sounded very neat. Ill have to try and put together a picture, maybe a little tough

Ok so after much consideration Ive decided to go with Rogues. Im not through the game enough to get Cantha's armor so I wanted to get something that wasn't so widely used. I don't see many Mesmers, let alone ones with 15k. Still most of them have 15k Kurzicks that I see running around so I figured be a little different. Plus I really love the look of it more and more as I see it. Really nice clothes.

I would really love the FoW Hose but right now its definitely out of my price range (stupid Mesmer perfect items costing a fortune)

So... my question is
a) Which Hose should I use with the 15k Rogue? The gloves aren't so important and the boots I have a few in mind but the Hose Im totally lost on. Any suggestions?
b) What color combination? I've already spent about 5k on colors and I really cannot find a good combo I like. Im looking for something really bright but whenever I dye it any color its always quiet dark.

Im considering silver+silver+silver+yellow as a whitish color but I don't want it to turn out horrible and have to spend another 3k or so.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Valk

you can't combine 3 silvers in a dye mix...

Ummm ya Im pretty sure you can.

I've seen it posted by a number of people and Y+S+S+S is a valid combination. Someone can correct me if Im wrong but I know I've seen it on a number of posts.

well, dunno abou female, but of all faction armours, the only one that isnt really ugly is kurz 15k

You can. It's just that you have to use this formula:

{[(Y+S)+S]+S}

I did hear, or have read somewhere that it doesn't turn out well on mesmer armors...

Actually I did try that combination. I can post a picture of it but for sure it didn't come out as I expected.

It is alright but I think Ill be looking for a better color. I've just already spent like 10k on Dyes so Ill hold off for the time being

Does anyone know how to make actual White?? Since YSSS doesn't work, Im not sure what would look good with the Mesmer (Rogues 15k) armor. I find everything is really dark but Im looking for a bright color.

EDIT:

Heres the PIC... as you can see its more of a light grey color and not white...

I still kinda like it, its one of the better I've seen for this armor but not exactly what I want. I really want a Bright White color... if anyone has one and a screeny I'd really appreciate it. Dye mix would be nice too ofc

I don't want to hijack the thread but didn't want to start my own thread that was so closely tied to this one.

But if at all possible I would like some of you wonderful mesmers out there to post some pictures of your 1.5k and 15k male mesmers from Factions. I have tried using the search and have not had a whole lot of luck with pictures, mostly found comments. I'm getting close to being able to get the armor of my choice and I'm not sure which one I want.

Thanks in advance

i love my "spoiled princess" dress

Damus how did you get that ink colour? I have a male mesmer and tried the silver + red + red on my krytan armour and it came out maroonish. I tried the purple and red combi and it came out brownish. I even got a weird dirty reddish brown colour when I applied just red on my new 15k rogues

Can anyone tell me how to get pink because the colours dont seem to come out as it should on a mesmer armour. Is there a formula anywhere?

Terra Xin · Sep 21, 2006, 03:28 PM // 15:28

There's a colour chart that you can use on Gwiki (and on GwG, but I cant remember the link)

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Image:3...chartfinal.JPG

you have to be careful though, because some of the dye mixes for pink or close to pink turn out a brownish colour for some reason.

But yeah, I'm trying to look for a good "Mesmer-boss colour" scheme that I can throw on my own mesmer, but I dont want to change from black, because that colour is so damn expensive, it would feel like a waste.

Damu's version looks like it has a tint of silver in it... ooo
