Armor and Scale Dye Solvent

[Soraii]

This suggestion is as the title seems, a kit that can remove applied colors from scale and armor simmilar to how the Armor and Scale Dye kits apply the color.

Now this is something we could really use. Partially the reason why I don't dye my own scales or armor is that often I think if I don't like the color, or I think it looked better before as the original, there is no "undo" buton available.

For sale to adults and ancients only?

Well you can drag simply a other color over the current one, but if you want the original color, well yeah such a thing would be useful.

And Steelclaw, you are a horrible person.

Unfortunately there is no way to remove a technique once it has been applied. The best that could be done(I think) was a "blank dye" tech. and I'd have to test that to see if it even worked.

'Invisible dye' worked to return one of my armors of valor back to its original color.

I think Silverblaze suggested it, and it worked.

[Soraii]

Well one way is all armor could have an invisible "Undyed" dye kit on it by default the dye solven coult then change the custom dye back to the default one?

I just remembered, however, that I was trying to get it to appear as it did originally in my vault.

I'm sure it would be invisible if I could put it on.

Sorry. Next suggestion.

Dyeing scales with the "Invisible" Dye tech makes them unusable. invisible dyed items are useable only by Saris, Satyr, Dryad, Sslisk.

A solution to the OP's request might simply be to allow dragon to use invisible dye. Wait. that wouldn't work because then it would have the invis-ish look. Simply another color basically.

Another possible solution would be to make 10 Dye colors that would equal the existing scale colors: Sandstone, Bronze-Sandstone, Slate, Iron-Slate, Granite, Steel-Granite, Obsidian, Cobalt-Obsidian, Marble, Mithril Marble. Possibly 15 colors since things like focus scales are Mithril only, and might have a different color than "Mithril-Marble". These new colors could even be useable by bipeds on their armor for some new color choices, and the ability to return their armors to original colors as well.

Dye kits do not change color of scales they only changes the name of scales.

[Soraii]

Well it changes the colors for me, maybe you should look at them in icon view as well

They arent visible on the dragon but they most definatly color the icons.

Soraii

[Knossos]

Sorry, I meant on the dragon - much the same as dyes on invisible biped head and face gear - dyes only for convenience in storing armor sets.

Wouldn't this not matter? Since the colored scales don't show when you wear them anyways.

The only problem might be finding invisible scales in your storage space. XD

[Soraii]

While indeed this would be less usefull for a dragon, and more usefull for a biped. It is just something that always confused me. the ability to add a "changeable" customisation but not to remove it. At least here it's actually the item you are dying and not the armor slot (*cought*EQ*cough*) which really gets annoying without a way to remove dyes >_> So you can just get another item to have default color again.

Maybe someone can explain to me why a dragon would use dyes since it is not seen except in the equipment screen?

Ok... quite logical now you mention ... thanks for the explanation

When you have 10 sets of scales .. as a bunch of us do -- dying makes a lot of sense.

When all else fails, name them according to what you teched them with. Then you can find all your scales in one spot if you switch to the list mode.

But reading is hard! Purple is crystal shaping. Blood is mining and black is stonecrafting! That's all I need to know.
