Guild Wars 2

I love how much heirloom dye varies within the same color box… it makes armor with only one box appear as if it has more than just one. See pic if you don’t get what I mean… that’s all just heirloom dye.

Are there other dyes that do this as well? I would love to find one that does that in a blue or green. Thanks for your help

I’ve noticed it as well, although Heirloom on light harmor keeps one solid color if I recall correctly.

I know in light armor, for boots and some skirts, that Earthen and/or Olive dye does this. I’ll update this later tomorrow once I hop back on. G’night for now.

Pretty much all dyes do this. You see a dye will look different depending on what material it applied to, and not all components of a particular piece of armour are the same, for example the starting heavy armour has leather sections as well as the metal sections.

Here is my mesmer in all heirloom dye below… it’s def. not just one solid color. You can see on the front/main part of the legs how it goes from black->dark red. It varies within the individual color boxes themselves quite a lot. Yes they do vary a bit on the other colors, but not nearly as much as it seems to with heirloom going from black->red->orange->gold in a single color box. This seems to be a feature of this particular dye. I’m wondering if there are more that do this in other colors such as blue etc. (this one being a red).

I understand that colors vary depending on the armor type… but I haven’t seen any others that vary the color that much within a single color box…

Wintergreen does a bit and also midnight ice and fire seem to on my armor.

Oh and patina does as well.

Patina does as well, ty ^^ Dark brown→gold→green.

Midnight ice and fire seem to have more flecks of the blue/red on most armor vs a total color change.

pine is a good one aswell

You can see all dye variations on different materials here: http://www.dragonsworn.net/dyes/

Oxblood: on some armor pieces it looks like abyss (named light gloves first color slot for example)
