Old Black Dye Recipe

This will NOT work on most armors!
Ive done lots of tests and must say that on most armors the old black CANNOT be reproduced. The closest to the old black you can get (on about 50% tested items) is the Black+Black combination, but that can't be applied to the item, just previewed.

is this even close to black?

Here's mine.


I haven't tested it on any other armors so..

You mind not being a complete troll? At least HE tried something so id like to see YOU come up with something better.

He tried and failed but made a thread about it to make it look like a success. Even his examples are FAR from what the old black looked like.

And because of people like him or you people miss the real problem which is the flawed dye mixing system and the impossibility to reproduce the colors that the game engine CAN still display.

I've spent ~10 hours on testing the new dye mixing system and made detailed explainations on how it works in a thread on gwonline forums, I see I will have to put all that together again and post here...

I mentioned in my last reply that the dye recipe may not work on all armors but necromancer ones.

No need to bash the whole thing.

I can confirm it totally works on Necromancer 15k tormentors, I just did it

Can anyone post a screen of a dye combo to achieve the old dye color for Ranger Ancient armor?

Green + Blue + Purple works excellently on Female Canthan 15k mesmer armor, confirmed

works great on necrotic male 15k. Finally got rid of those purple boots when all other parts are the old black =p

I like it. The new black dye is horrific.

I have a cheaper way to make old black. 1 Gray dye.

Care to explain?

I'm sure it was just a non constructive reply.

No, 1 Gray is the same colour as old Black on most armors. Unfortunate, but true.

Sorry misjudged the comment then. But I would have to say that I've seen gray on some of the warrior armor that I've had dyed Black before and its far from the old Black.

Are you speaking of the "old" three dye Black? (With no black in it.)

I mean that 1 Gray is the same (almost) as 1 old Black, or at least it is on a few armors I've tried it on. I might have to go back and check...

Nice, I'll have to try that one out
It seems like you have to change the yellow dye to get it right on other armors.

In that case Gray Dye genius

Even on all necro armor it won't work. The dye results are based on the crafting materials used in the making of the armor. Even that bering said, there are times when the same dye on the same matching sets of armor for a class will turn out differently, orange on 15k sunspear dervish chest isn't the same as on the legs.

One thing that really sucks with the removal of dye remover is that it is sometimes impossible to get back to the original color. I dyed my Storm Bow this weekend, and no matter what combination I try, I can't get it back to the original. Gray doesn't work, it just makes it look horrible.

Any1 know good combo for monk fow asc?
