[Request]: Black Weapons
I’d go for black Chaos Weapons. There are some weapons, though, that are darker. The Shadow Weapons are pretty dark, but may not be exactly what you are looking for.

Good luck.
I would love to see black weapons that are as black as the abyss dye. I’m hoping one day too, that Anet will release a dye even blacker than Abyss – like the complete opposite of Permafrost for White. It would be so black that it covers all detail. It would go very well with a set of really black weapons.
Forever a supporter of more male skimpy armor
I really like the Shadow weapons (I’m using the Staff as we speak), but I’d like something more similar to the Merciless, just really dark. (The Shadow have those really pale accents on them).
they should just bite the bullet and let us dye weapons
Convincing them to make a new set that is featureless is a very hard sell. The current chaos weapons could potentially fill that void for you, but I don’t want to see the backlash for a new set that is basically weapon silhouettes if it’s complete black.
Have you checked out the tormented weapons? They have a glowy magic effect to them but the actual body of the weapon is jet black.

Agreed a thousand times over, they never should have launched without weapons and back items being dyable in the first place. Not the players fault the developers lacked the foresight to see such an incredibly obvious hole in such an important game system. Just put in the bloody work and give us weapon dyes already!

They’d have to entirely redo the parts of the game that cover weapons to do that, recolor all the existing ones. And, it would add to the ongoing maintenance, so slow down production of weapon skins
One reason we get a full new set of weapons every 6-8 weeks versus 9 months between armor sets is that they are simpler to create.

That is incorrect, dye channels are handled by a mapping system, all it would require is that someone go through each existing weapon and draw out a new set of maps for each. That would be time consuming, but the creation of maps for new sculpts is quite intuitive, and would be a hundred times easier than they are for armor anyway, it would add virtually no development time at all.
The hard part would actually have nothing to do with the artistic pipeline for weapons, but would be the creation of the back end systems necessary to support the new functionality.
Still worth it in my opinion, 90% of the end game content rewards in this game are solely cosmetic, you cannot cheap out on such an important system.

I was browsing skins the other day and found one I hadn’t seen before, The Ambush and thought, that’s pretty cool! Then I found it was part of the collection for Chuka and Champawat!
I wish there were more skins like this one, simple but look kitten cool!
Ambush looks really cool! I’ll have to work on Chuka and Chamawat soon.
