Hello all, I managed to get a ticket for Jade Weapons, and I’m thinking of getting the shield for my Guardian.

I wanted to know if any of you figured out what dye colors the weapons are using, to use on my armor and perfectly match them with the shield.

The closest I got was Peanut Butter Dye and Green Shade Dye.

Any Suggestions?

Well I think Celery dye kinda sorta fits with the shield. Looks like it shares the same colour with the shield.

Given that the scales on the dragon upon the shield are of a faded kind of green, perhaps try out Tea Shade Dye or even Antique Olive Dye on your cloth areas.

In order for the different pieces to match I frequently need to use different dyes to have the same resulting color due to the way the dyes look on the different areas of armor and on different materials.

As for the bronze tone of the shield, I think it would be better to use a different dye on them to result in the desired shade when applied; e.g.

Boots: Brass Dye or Patina Dye
Gloves: Dijon Dye (since Peanut Butter Dye seems to give them too much of a rich color) or even Squash Dye.

Patina Dye [&AgFQUAAA]
Dijon Dye [&AgHvTwAA]
Squash Dye [&AgHbTwAA]

Here is a website with the dyes listed on it organized by shade that includes the chat codes so you don’t need to keep searching the TP for them to test out.

Man, you were spot on with Antique Olive and Dijon Dye, they look exactly like the ones in the shield.

I’ll start experimenting with different shades for different parts of my armor, but those are going to be the main colors.

Thanks!

Good job with the armor, it’s nifty.

Hoopa doopa.

Decided to go with something that would look like a jade armor to go with the mace (which is a lot more green than the shield). The closest green I found is Evergreen. As a bonus, it goes very well with the priory shield too.
