Talk:Necromancer Elite Necrotic armor

Do NOT fix the "Armour" misspelling here, it breaks the image.
 * Just so you know, the word "Armour" is not a mispelling, it's the proper English way of spelling it. --Milkflopance 08:25, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * "Armour" is British English, "Armor" is U.S. English. Who cares? Anet does, they use U.S English. All there is to it. ^_^ RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 23:46, 19 September 2007 (CDT)

Does anyone have this armor on a female necro recently dyed black? If so I'd like to see a screenshot of the chestpart in close up. My necro had it dyed black when there was only Prophecies out. Some time later the whole dye thingy got changed and I think there was a reset to the items that didn't remove the added color. That's why, even if my armor is dyed black, in the hall of monuments it is red (which was the original color when I bought it). Due to curiosity how this armor looks now in black I checked the preview window and it looks awful. Many nice details get lost. Now I don't know if it's because it was dyed black and now black would be applied again (I also don't get the msg that I can't apply a dye that was applied already) or if the current dye system ruins the armors (have the same prob with my black dyed wyvern armor for female warrior - also kills details when re-applied). So here a link to the image of the dye preview (left black dyed preview, right no dye added [old black]) ---> <--- --Birchwooda Treehug 03:25, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, I'm fairly sure the armour in your Hall is dependent on the colour of the chestpiece you are wearing when you go into your hall, not the colour of the armour when it is placed into the hall. I'd assume it displays as red because the armour you are wearing is red. Can't help with necrotic though, sorry. Ezekiel  [Talk]  03:32, 18 April 2008 (UTC)


 * What you see in the dye preview is what you will get. The new black is much more invsive, it is a rich black that overwhelms all the small details that the old dyes were so good at showing.  All new dyes are like this, but the black shows it the most.  Unfortunately, what you see is what you get. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 04:38, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah ok. then I won't dye it again just to test if it fixes my hall bug. So I've an unique armor now that can't be copied like this anymore ;D BTW in my hall both my elite armors are red no matter what I wear (I've only a black and a brown armor). And my other elite armor, the luxon elite, I just bought couple of months ago -.- see: ---> <--- --Birchwooda Treehug 05:43, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Now that's odd. I've got old-black Geomancer but it and the other armour change when I wear different things. Ezekiel  [Talk]  07:25, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

The color of the displays depends on the color of the chest piece you wear into the hall. If you wear something that was dyed with an "old" dye, then the statues "don't recognize" it, and display a default red. If you wear something dyed with a "new" dye, they should change. So if your brown was before the dye colors changed, then it will still make the statues red. If you redye it the new brown (cheap :P), then the statues should all become brown when you walk in.

 * Yeah I noticed that and that's what I think is buggy. The luxon elite armor is my newest, it's even newer than EotN so I would assume that at least the luxon armor statue in the hall would switch to brown but it doesn't. It wasn't even red when I bought it, I think its default color was grey. My old necrotic armor seems to override all colorsettings with its red. BTW it's not simply a brown dye added (brown causes a quite bright brown-red and I didn't want anything standing out as color) ;) To get that brown shade you need to mix 3 dyes ^^. And because the luxon armor has an ugly bug too (see bottom of its talk page) I couldn't dye it black (the bug is to see clearly then). --Birchwooda Treehug 16:46, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
