bad news about tinting...

[Jvani]

Dont blame me for going with black!

" It is not possible to remove colors inherent to the armor, so some armor pieces will tint differently than others. "

This quote from the description sounds like I will never be able to make my currently dark green and brown combo of druid armor any color BUT black and get it to match.

So far this feature sounds approximately as useful and entertaining as other games' ability to change the color of your character's underwear at character creation, with the added bonus of devaluing armor that USED to be desireable because of its color.

On the bright side, this feature _may_ increase the value of the previously stupendously fugly Tunarean Scout armor and maybe now we can color BLACK fine plate actually black like gnome-skin armor rather than charcoal gray. Woo hoo! *smirk*

My guess is that this will not live up to expectations, particularly for female nonplate characters. I mostly wear Stormreaper Boned Armor. SOE was too cheap to make a new skin, so they simply tinted the standard druid leather. My armor has the same look as my Vale armor, but with a green tint. The tint also covers whatever skin is showing in the model. I presume this will be the same with the new tinting. I love the color of the armor, but having a green chest and neck is somewhat wierd.

Insteresting stuff in Magelo

OK I am not involved in the beta so I don't think this violates any agreements, but if post needs to be deleted that's OK too.

Found these as new items in magelo:
http://www.magelo.com/eq_item_info.html?num=32557

Pretty sure it is the instructions and the reagent for the LoY tinting.
