Suggestiong for Staining System Improvement...

[RaDian FlGith]

First, let me give major compliments to Mythic, and specifically Sakkarah, for the implementation of the staining system as it stands. It's a very nice addition to UO that allows us to customize all of our armor and clothing to match. It also gives a GREAT boon to gardeners, making gardening not only viable but profitable once more.

All of this said, I was reading that berries and such were considered for the staining system, and which may yet happen in the future, and I was thinking about an additional resource that would be nice... I really like the metal ore colors as well, and right now, we can't make a verite armor piece match a valorite armor piece. What I propose is that you can mix 1 plain pigment with 1 crushed ore (made by alchemist with mortar and pestle) -- or for simplicity sake, 1 ingot -- and you will receive a metallic stain in one of the original 8 additional metal colors (obviously it would be pointless to do "iron" because it's not a color, it's just not hued).

This still requires plants to be part of the system so it doesn't devalue the existing stain system, but it would give access to those 8 colors.

Just a thought, but it would be nice to match those colors as well.

I agree *thumpsup*

Add the wood colors and berries to the idea.

Actually, come to think of it, wood colors and leather colors would be a good idea, and yeah, definitely I'm thinking of this in addition to the berries.

there is a "metal" color now (you mix black with plain) (not sure what it colors out to be ingame) - perhaps add your crushed ore to that to make the colored metals of the ore

really do like the idea - would be a great expansion on the staining system (which does seem really popular - I know us gardeners are loving it hehee)

I agree this would be a most excellent addition to the staining system which is by far one of the most wonderful additions to come into game in a long time.

Thank you Sakkarah!
