==Armor to dye for== '''All About Dyes''' There are three types of dyes available: *'''Prismatic Dyes''' (Alchemy, Brewing, Pottery) By far the most popular, [http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=7878&menustr=035000000000 Vial of Prismatic Dye] enables players to dye any visible armor slot, so that armor equipped in that slot will be tinted with that color. These dyes are made with tradeskills, but can be used without any skill. When you hear people buying or selling armor dyes, these are almost certainly what they mean. *'''Fine Plate Dyes''' (Alchemy, Make Poison, Pottery, for use in Smithing) The very first set of dyes to be made available, fine plate dyes can only be used to tint fine plate armor. Fine plate is a line of basic, smithed plate armor. These dyes actually permanently change the color of each piece of armor. However, with the subsequent introduction of prismatic dyes, fine plate dyes have fallen into disuse. They are now useful mainly just by tradeskillers to improve skill in alchemy or make poison. *'''Ribbon Dyes''' (Brewing, for use in Tailoring) These dyes are used to make ribbons (hence the name), which are, in turn, used to tailor robes. The robes can only be worn by casters (enchanters, magicians, necromancers, and wizards). Furthermore, the robes can only be made by the six races which can be one of those caster classes. While there is a market for some of the final robes, these are also useful primarily as a means of skilling up, particularly for tailoring. '''Applying the dye:''' You may now dye a dye slot any color that you wish. How? Go to your Inventory and look for the new 'Dye' button at the bottom. Your view should change to focus on your character, and then a new window will pop-up called Armor Dye. The little boxes under Item Tint are the colors of the original items and cannot be changed. The little boxes under Armor Dye are the adjustable ones. Click on any of the boxes to bring up the window called 'Choose a color', which is also shown in the picture. You'll see boxes of colors, these are default colors that you can use as starting points for customization. Below are sliders for adjusting the colors. To the left of the sliders are colors that are being adjusted - red, green, and blue. Notice these values are in numerical format. If you change the number in the box, you will accordingly change the intensity/brightness of the color. 0 is the lowest value, and 255 is the highest. Examples: 0, 0 ,0 = black; 255, 255, 255 = white; 255, 0 , 0 = intense red; 255, 175, 175 = a very light value of red (probably a whitish pink); 25, 25, 25 = a very dark value of gray; 100, 25, 25 = a dark value of red If you like the color of a piece of armor you already possess (I.E., Rel's golden cleric armor), place your cursor over the Item Tint box of the appropriate color and you'll be given it's RGB values. CURRENT BRUSH Tool: In the armor dye window, you'll notice the lone color labeled Current Brush. If you change the value of this color, it will replace the light red color of the 'Choose a Color' window with whatever value you set the brush to. This way you don't have to retype the values every time if you make a set completely of one color. When you finish, check the number of Reagents Needed with the number of Reagents Available. If you've got enough (don't know what happens if not), hit Save Dye and all the changes will be made and reagents deducted. You may dye multiple slots at once. Note, you may also reset the process before saving the dye, however sometimes the colors will set to values you fiddled with before. If you're worried about this, zone and it will reset all the dyeing data in the windows and on your character. IMPORTANT NOTE : If you own any white armor, dye it another color, and use the default white, it will request a reagent. Why? The value of the default white is 240, 240, 240, but your white armor is set to a value of 255, 255, 255. Either reset the dye window, set the color manually to 255's (though this may not be safe), or zone to fix this before proceeding. Don't waste money on extra dyes! This also applies to trying to reset a color back to it's original value. It will count a reagent and in this case you MUST use the reset function or zone. TIPS: --Now, remember to copy down the numbers you use for dyeing armor. Why? By writing down the RGB value for that color, you can easily repaint all the other parts of the armor that value without making guesses, approximations, or having to redye everything over again. Also, by having numbers that end in 5 and 0, you don't have to worry about remembering strange numbers like 173, 182, 168. Trust me, the color is almost exactly the same if you change them all to 175, 180, 170, and it's that much easier to copy. --You do NOT have to have components to dye armor. You can play around with colors any time you want to, but they will disappear upon zoning and no one else can see them until you complete the dye. You may, however, take a screenshot and show it off if you're low on cash and want opinions first. ===Removing dye=== To change your armor color to default, Open the inventory by pressing I key from the Keyboard, then click on the Dye button, this will open the Armor Dye window. To the right of each slot name are two boxes, Item Tint and Armor Dye. Click on the Armor Dye box, it will open a small window for that particular slot. Move the sliders to 255, 255, 255 for their respective color's Red, Blue and Green value. Accept this. Note: You will need to have all the necessary dyes with you to do this! You may have to remove and re-equip the item in order to see the correct color when you look at it.
