List

Magmas Shield
Brute Sword
Earth Staff
Earth Staff (Orr Skin)
Holy Rod
Smiting Rod
Storm Bow
Ascalon Razor

Any and all help is appreciated.

crystalline doesnt change color when dyed only handle does as far as I know, I dont think earth staff even change anything when dyed, Storm bow becomes weird when dyed, I wouldn't suggest applying dye to it and for the rest, sorry no clue

Just pushing my thread up.

Will I can tell you for fact that the skill of the fire staff/water staff/dom staff etc, does not really dye - nor does the raven staff. I would very much like to see at least some change in this. I love to dye my weapons.

most likely all swords/axes/hammer only the handles dye.

i've dyed all my swords/axes pink, and all that changed on them were the handles.

now if the blade went pink.. that would be awesome!

Yeah, it seems to me that most staffs don't dye very well.

Although these aren't on your list...
I dyed my Necro bone staff Silver, and the difference is noticable, even if not by a lot, but when I dyed my cruel staff Purple, it had no noticable effect whatsoever.

Here is a pic:

I dyed my bone staff purple, seemed to work out nicely

when i was new to gw i had a fds given to me, so i died it green hoping to have the flame turn accordingly, well no...

Just a note Chaos Axes are can be dyed

Glasswalker · Mar 04, 2006, 08:55 PM // 20:55

Yes, but Chaos Axes dye backwards. I've never dyed a Storm Bow, but given their default color, I would imagine it works via the same mechanism.

Dye it Green, it turns pinkish.
Dye it Black, it turns white... you get the idea.

storm bows doesn't really dye, well they do, but it's barely noticable.
it's not like you can dye the bow red and have a pretty dark side style stormbow.

Quoted for truth. Little/no noticeable effect. (Although i'd have to rename my ranger to something dark-sideish if you could

)

And when I was a noob, I saw a guy with a shadow shield, and thought it was a dyed skeleton shield, and asked him "wow, how did you do that to your skeleton shield? A black dye?" and the guy said "You gotta mix black + silver, then use it"

... thanks for wasting my 6.5k, you jerk!

Brute Sword - Still not covered
Earth Staff - Covered
Earth Staff (Orr Skin) - Covered
Holy Rod - No progress (Would like screenshots if it can be dyed)
Smiting Rod - No progress
Storm Bow - Dyed barely noticable
Ascalon Razor - Still no progress

If by ascalon razor you mean the collector skin for the longsword, then it only dyes the handle as well, it makes for a color+darkness look.

i dyed a Fellblade recently...and the weird part is that it stopped the animation on it....i dyed it to be Teal, so that it would match my armor and shield....but after i dyed it, the animation disappeared :/

What's this animation you are talking about for the fellblade?

Ascalon razor?
