Guild Wars 2

Hello, on my ranger I am using T2 Sylvari armour until I can afford the T3 armour, which by the way looks amazing!!

For my T2 look I use the colours Evergreen & Wrath. What is this brown stuff in-between? I’ve tried changing all 3 and I can’t seem to get rid of it. I want to chamge it to a darker colour, anything except light brown!

Any help or ideas on how to change this default shade?

The brown is your Sylvari’s actual skin color.

Yeah, it’s so annoying, but the devs thought it was “cool” to limit our dye choices… :/

Some sets look better with the forced skin color. For example I use tier 2 light and tier 3 medium on two of my Sylvari and the skin color portions really make it look like the armor is growing from them. I also use tier 1 heavy on another character and since you don’t see stalks of leaves coming out of the skin in that set it looks more like an undyeable channel than like it grows out of her.
At least you can look forward to tier 3 which will blend better with your skin. The glow on the tier 3 medium set is also colored based on your skin color, so you know. If the male set glows, that is, which I think it does but I have only paid attention to the female one enough to know for sure.

You are lucky, T2 on my Sylvari gives me some random color depending on the dye I choose that doesn’t even match my skin. For instance if I use a red dye armor turns green with shades of red, if I use teal it goes blue and if i use some light color i get this ugly green shade. I found this armor to work best with very dark dyes. Overall it’s a mess and I wish it worked as T1.

yeah, dyes on T2 are pretty much guesswork.

Here is my mix of t1 and t2, it looked alright I guess. I was using T2 coat, gloves and boots.
