Fully agree. They have this awesome system for dying and even have it so you can dye multiple parts of your armor different colors. It should be the same for your weapon, aquabreather, and backpiece as well (should your backpiece be visible).

+1 Agreed about the backpiece and aquabreather as well

Totally agreed, that will make weapons totally unique and matching for our characters’ style.

Exactly what we want!

I started a post like this a few months ago and really hope Anet will pay attention to this one. This game desperately needs more armor and weapon variety. Making weapons Dye-able would go a long way into creating some of that diversity.

I’m trying to bring the most attention possible to this thread, i would LOVE to see this happen as would many others. I hope Anet pays attention to this as well

Agree. It’s one of the only updates I want in the entire game. I don’t care if it takes long, I think it’s a must have update. I hate it when there’s a skin I like, but have to match the hideous colours to my armour just to make it look somewhat fashionable.

I’d also like to see animated dyes. A ‘Ghostly Dye’ one would look AMAZING with foefire’s essence (and Guardians in general – because they’re all about spirit weapons and such), or even a ‘Phantasmal Dye’, to make mesmers look like phantasms – now that would be epic, and these dyes would be extremely popular.

A ‘Voltaic Dye’ which has that electric current sort of look, like the voltaic spear in GW1, or the scepter in GW2 ‘Coldsnap’.

A ‘Chaos Dye’ which would be all glowy and luminescent like the chaos axe in GW1 would be popular as well.

Edit: And perhaps a ‘Volcanic Dye’ which would be an animated lava dye that flows molten lava :P would look AMAZING.

We need more epic skins too. I say bring back the voltaic spear from GW1. Heck, even put old GW1 skins as rewards for badges of honor in WvW even, it would make people want to WvW more.

I think Arenanet would get even more players with ideas like this anyway.

+1 i LOVE your idea, but for now, lets just keep asking for weapon dyes

Thanks RageExpert :-P yes I agree, it would be asking too much probably :-/ Dyeable weapons are all I want for Christmas.

I would love to see this in game!

Yes to this! I’d love to be able to change the color of my vision of the mists.

I approve this post.

Thank you Everyone! Give us what we want Anet!

GW1 had it. Why not Zoidberg?

Doctor Orderly MD PhD DDS.7625:

This, but really if GW1 had it, i think GW2 should have it as well, its a feature that a lot of people would want and appreciatae

I would only limit the blade color options. So the blades look like metal, crystal, or volcanic glass.

this is a good idea if you’re talking about just blades in general, not for every weapon of course :P

Zaoda.1653:

I say bring back the voltaic spear from GW1.

I think it’s already in the game as an exotic spear.

Thanks for the info but lets try to keep this thread on topic about weapon dyes

+1!!!!

Quite frankly, I’m one of those people that looks for the perfect sets that look awesome, I pride my characters on the idea of making my character look good. but it bugs the hell out of me if my weapon looks nothing like my set.

The pirate weapons for instance, awesome idea, the rusty appearance kills the weapons for me. Just kills it dead, I’m like rust in peace, Motherkittener

The dye system in this game is just impeccable, but only for armour? I know Anet could do us proud for a weapon dye system

agreed i like this idea

ArenaNet should have called this game “Guildwars Dressup”

It’s more about looking good than doing good, Its ok if you fail because you look awesome!

Lol, there isn’t a point in doing good if you aren’t doing it IN STYLE!

If I could change the color scheme of the Toy Staff, I would totally use the skin. Same with the Norn cultural weapons and a lot of other skins. It would be nice to be able to change the color scheme of back pieces too.
About aqua breathers, there are already dye areas for them (their color changes if you preview a dye while underwater), so I think we can safely assume that they will soon be dyeable.

Omg that is the most epic quote of the year, hands down. Mind if I steal it for my signature? :-P

Also to reply to another user about the voltaic spear skin I want in GW2, yes there is an exotic spear that you can get that has the voltaic spear skin (it’s a really weird name, but if you put in ‘aska’ in the trading post it should come up), but you can’t dye it, and dyeable weapons is a HUGE thing. Something may have an amazing skin, but it’s useless if it has fugly colours. It all has to match to look great

i agree with dye-able weapons it will make each weapons look unique and also match the color scheme we have on our armor making our character even more unique =)

+1 from me too.
I’d love to be able to dye my weapons… And honestly it would make me buy a LOT more dyes…
(I would love to be able to dye the backpiece too! )

I’ll ignore what midnight gypsy said;P and thanks for the support!

I AGREE COMPLETELY – DYEABLE WEAPONS ARE A MUST

4 sections:
• Base Color – All portion of the weapon not touched on by the other 3 areas. – fully dye-able (dye replaces color completely)
• Hilt/Handle/Stock – fully dye-able (dye replaces color completely)
• Blade/Barrel – tintable (dye changes the hue slightly)
• Accents/Effects – Accents such as filigree decorative elements, or the visual effect that weapons produce – Tintable (Effects) or fully dye-able (Accent work.)

As a necromancer I want this and I want this BAD. For all that is unholy let me dye my spirit links a ghastly azure!

Ghastly weapons with a unholy green fire to them for my necro! Totally fits with the Grenth and Dhuum concept arts!

I like your style!

It would shut up a lot of people when it comes to weapon skins….
Example:
The Dreamer

Would be nice to change the tassel colors and the colors on the wings and even the unicorn it’s self.

Understandably it would still shoot rainbow unicorns but at least the skin of the physical weap can be changed to match my armour or my mood or season.

WE NEEEEED THIS. I mean sometime you see a cool weapon, but it has UGLY colors if you could change that BA BAM
