Back with another video! This time, I give a quick look at
Guild Wars 2 Dye System.
In GW2, you are able to dye any of your armor sets just about any color you can imagine. Heck, you can even dye a single piece of armor different colors if there is enough palettes available for the item. In the beta, you start off with a limited number of colors, and to get more, you would have to find
Flower Seeds and bring them to the
Dye Manufacturer to get more. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any Flower Seeds to see what would happen from there.
To get into
Dye Mode, you just open up your
Hero Panel, and click the dropper. This will bring you to the interface that allows you to dye your armors and clothes whichever colors you have available to you. The interface is very simple, with only a few buttons to click for various options. You have your Favorite colors listed at the top, which you can easily set by Right-clicking any color. Beneath that is your currently selected color, as well as an icon that you can click to organize how the colors are listed from below that. The only other thing to note is that colors are separated into several categories, all of which you can hide/unhide by clicking their headers.
The rest is very easy to understand. You simply click a color, and click which piece of which armor you wish to dye. There is an undo button in case you dislike your choice, so no need to worry about messing up.
