Guild Wars 2

My first post,

Ok, I’ve screwed up. I am one of the lucky few to actually find some Abyss Dye! Only problem is I was so excited I’ve double clicked it and used on the wrong character

Once used is their anyway of transferring it to another character? I’ve never used gem store but wondered if their anything in their which allows you to possibly reuse dyes?

Sorry if this has been covered before but I searched for a good hour and couldnt find any info.

Nope, once use it used.

Feel sorry for you, I had to buy my abyss dye(suck so bad)

Next time be more careful.

Is all I can tell you really,, since it gone.

Thxs for your reply,

In that case I’m now going to cry myself to sleep.

I wish once a dye is used, it covers characters account wide. I don’t really see why it doesn’t tbh.

If you got some transmutation stones, there’s a trick that you can do. I do this all the time on lower characters. I only use dyes on one of each armor class that way I can have dyes available for every class, just send the items to that character, dye them then send them back.

Take a regular white or blue armor. Transmute it with the armor you want to dye abyss black. Pick the stats on the white or blue item, but pick the look of the armor you want dyed, if you have an upgrade on it, ignore it. If the armor was soulbound, it will make it account bound (you will lose the stats and you’ll have to forego the upgrade slot) however due to the outrageous price of abyss dye, you’re actually saving some money. Then you can buy another exotic with the original stats you had + another rune or orb or whatever you had in the upgrade slot. Then transmute the look of the original armor with the stats of the new one (it will still be account bound) then you can add the upgrade and make it soulbound. Thus you have abyss dyed armor on a different character.

So if you got some extra stones (from dailys or what not) then this is your best bet if you can’t afford another abyss dye.

I agree with the dyes being account wide though, they were advertised as such prior to the start of the game and they suddenly decided to drop that. Bad move on their part and I hope they eventually learn the error of their ways and make it like they said they would in the first place.

Your a god!

I was soon going to be creating my first set of armour as my thief is almost level 80 so this method isnt a problem for me.

Words cannot explain how happy I am lol (seriously) I’ve been moping around all day about this.. just goes to prove how simple my life is.

Thanks Arsenic

Np. I did it with the starter items and faction sets to get on other characters and figured why not try it on everything else.

Remember, you need the rare transmutation stones for level 80 items. I’m sitting on like 22 rare ones and 120 regular ones from just doing dailies and monthlies.

There is a bug that I noticed with this method though. The dye colour can’t be changed on the new character, you have to send it back to the first character to redye it to something else. Only happened on a few pieces so far. But it’s worth noting.

Wow, thanks for the tip! That is awesome!

Why didn’t I think of that?? :p
