Guild Wars 2

Got my 3 year gift a couple days ago and I’m still undecided which Electro shade to choose.

Why is blue more expensive than pink? Does electro blue have the glowing effect of that one craftable armor (from mordred bosses, forgot the name of the place, sorry I don’t pve much)

I’m kinda leaning towards pink but I already have hot pink and cotton candy.

Hmm, what about electro green or peach.

Cant make up my mind…help

I prefer electro pink over the other dyes because it gives quite varying effects on some armor sets. For example TA light armor looks absolutely amazing with full electro pink dye on it.

There isn’t any rush. Try the different colors on each of your char’s armor then think about it for a day or two. It’s not going to be going away. You have plenty of time to try them out and consider.

If you like all of those, get one from the gift and feel free to buy the others.

Fun fact: You can still apply locked dyes to your armor to see what they will look like. Go into your dye panel and try out the dyes. See what you like more. Then when you find one you really like, get that one.

Yah. You need to set the options in the dye section of your wardrobe to ‘Show Locked’. Once you have that set you can preview any dye in game on the armor you’re wearing.

Can you buy them for me? Please? K, thanks.

I have about seven characters that will turn 3 over then next week or so, so I’ll likely get both, but the reason I’m getting electro blue first is it works very well for ice- and Jormag-themed costumes.

I have 7 characters turning 3 as well but it’s going to be between 2 weeks from now and December. Only really wanted to know why blue is pricier than pink and I guess you answered it.

It’s nice getting these dyes as a bonus. The most I paid for a dye was 192g for Shadow Abyss. I remember paying 20-50g for Abyss x 8 back when dyes weren’t account bound.

Why is blue more expensive than pink?

Blues tend to be more expensive than pinks generally. Pinks have a narrow niche of uses; blues are more universal. This particular blue goes well in a lot of situations.

Luminescent armor? No. Although it does have some similarities in tone.

If you have to choose one or the other, I think you’ll be happier with blue.

Pimsley.3681:

Hmm, what about electro green or peach.

I like the green. The peach is, like the pink, good for a narrow set of uses. Among the four you mention, I prefer blue → green → pink → peach. Your mileage might vary.

Happy (character) birthday!

Awww <3 <3 <3

Yeah luminescent armor, that’s the one I was thinking of when I had a brain fart.

I wish they made peach more orange-y. I agree its shade is not far from being pinkish.

Since the dye from the anniversary pack is free the obvious thing to do is to get the most expensive one/s, but there’s also no sense in getting a dye you’re not going to use.

My approach so far has been to sort the TP list by price, then work my way down previewing them until I find one I like.

So far I’ve got electro-blue, blacklight and enamelled longevity (which looks amazing on the norn wedding dress, and a lot of sylvari armor) and I’m still debating what other colours to get.

I suggest you wait till the anniversary sale is over before choosing. For all we know taimi dye set might be offered on the last day at discounted price.

Electro blue looks best on heavy armor that have a “paladin” design. Carapace armor for example looks really good with electro blue.

As i said, waiting was a good choice. They dropped in price really hard.

I picked up Electro Lime for my first one… because my mesmer was always the green/pink/white scheme.

It looks really good on the frog hat.

It’s amazing. Supply is rising. I guess panicked sellers are getting rid of inventory.

How low can you go? (They’re doing the Trading Post Limbo right now)

I hate to say how that reference suggests Fleshie’s age (only because doing so would also hint at mine).

I always buy popcorn for ‘events’ like this.

My age? I’ll never tell. (If only I could remember my age……..)

Taimi dyes for sale in the BLTC for gems… just saying fellas!

Unless you plan on getting all the dyes, don’t bother looking at the prices. I personally hate the Taimi dyes and went with the Lion’s Arch survivors pack for Enameled Reign.

I’d say go for your favorite color!

Price doesn’t matter if you never use the dye. You know?

Though I will say I got electro blue today and it looks really really nice with white / white gold combo. Pink is usually my go-to but I can’t find a color combo that looks as nice with it as the electro blue.

Just remember you can apply dyes you don’t own to the gear you have on to test it out (In the dye panel after pressing H). Or even use preview in the Trading post. I like to go to the bank, set up an outfit, and use TP to preview dyes on it. Helps me decide what I really want. (and then I can add them to my favorites like a wish list so when I have enough gold I remember exactly which one it was!)

They are both amazing as accent color. I like electro pink for it vivacious vibrancy and electro blue is best for highlighting or imitating the color pigment in rubber/vinyl.

Here are some examples of my character wearing these colors for different purposes.
