Guild Wars 2

Do either the Self-Style Hair Kit, or Total Makeover Kit, permit the changing of the ribbon colours for female human “tassle” style hair?

If so, what are the colour selections available?

I see a lot of people asking about this, and not any definitive answers. The wiki doesn’t specify the ribbons (or similar items) can be changed.

I happen to have one of both of those kits. When you select for hair styles and color on either, you get the options to change hair style, hair color and for all races except Sylvari, the option to change accessory color. (Apparently no Sylvari hair style has accessories so it’s not included in their choice of options).

The colors to change to in accessories are only the ones from the original character creation screen, 21 colors. Those are the colors listed as starter in your dye panel.

I’m hoping the accessory color can be changed to any unlocked on the account after the 15th. I have no basis for believing it will be, but it would be logical seeing as all dyes would be unlocked on the account and with the changes made to the wardrobe for character appearance customization.

If the hair and makeover kits get updated to have a better layout, especially for dyes, then it can have all possible dyes in a grid. Running a single query of the account dye unlocks would cause locked ones to remain faded while unlocked ones would be fully opaque. Just like in the wardrobe, one can preview how the character would look with a locked dye and then right-click > buy on TP to purchase the dye. Buying and unlocking the dye will illuminate it in the customization panel to be used in the makeover. If a locked dye is currently in the preview then the Accept Changes button will not be active until all previewed dyes are unlocked.

Again, I have no basis for believing this is how it will be. I just think that the wardrobe and appearance customization overhaul would be incomplete if they did not also look into the hair and makeover kit customization screen and its current layout and limitations.

Okay, thanks so much for the reply. I will wait until I can change my accessory colour to black. =)
