Guild Wars 2

Hello, I’m working with API:2/colors and when I want to get the item that unlocks a color the system returns an error about item not found.
I have tested the https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/colors/10 that is on wiki as example and the item id is different: on wiki is 20370 (the right one) while from api is 65149 (absolutly wrong).
Seems that almost all the colors now have a wrong item id!

Seconding this. Almost all colors are returning item ids that are invalid when passed to the items api.

I’ve noticed that in /v2/colors there are also some entries that they don’t define at all the “item” value of the actual dye’s item id. For example Tea Jeans. It’s not a serious bug but it kinda makes it hard to get the assigned icon file.

The current (as of now) color id list that has no “item” value is: [1, 14, 17, 19, 45, 101, 109, 117, 131, 362, 376, 377, 435, 442, 454, 457, 604, 615, 632, 680, 700]

I was wondering if there is any workaround for these exceptions, other than parsing each color’s wiki page.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for taking care of opening that issue, Lawton. Guess we’ll have to wait for its turn.

I know offhand that color 1 is for Dye Remover, which naturally has no associated item. All the dyes in the standard set (those dropped by Unidentified Dyes) definitely have an item.

I had a quick look, and Tea Jean is a starter color – so it makes sense that it has no item since everyone starts with it. I suspect this could be the case for the rest of the colors you have listed.

Yup, you’re 100% correct. I checked each and every id, 1 is dye remover and the rest that have no item values are the starting dyes. Double-checked them with TP and (obviously) they’re nowhere to be found as in-game items.
