Project Purple

Today I decided that I want to unlock every dye available in the game on my Engineer. So I thought I might start with a colour rang, max it out, and move on to the next. So far I have 36 of the 53 available purple options. 

Basically, I'm putting in offers on the trading post as opposed to buying the pre-listed ones. I guess I'm saving around 50 bronze on the commons, a silver or so on the uncommon and sometimes 7 or 8 silvers on the rares. If something is crazy expensive, I'm just leaving it for now.

Here's my progress and a bit of a combo I threw together.

new things at level 30

Here's my new threads I picked up from the trading post, complete with some of the dye I've "acquired"along the way.

And at level 30 I also got my first elite skill last night - supply crate. Lots of fun.

I think I'll keep using Arienwyn when you guys aren't on for a while, and save Adara (my guardian) for our group stuff (probably). 

I'm on a dye-it

this article is worth reading for several reasons

1 - it has a good sense of humour

2 - it's quite technical and really interesting

3 - it shows some of the awesome, flexible colour combinations that will be available in GW2

4 - the hair on that warrior is wicked!

5 - the last shot of the 5 girls in undyed armour... have a look at the last one!!! i'm pretty sure that's a mesmer!! wooo!

GW2 Dye system...

so, this looks fantastic... look at ALL the options!!

good to go - armor me up

today i spent a ridiculous amount of gold - i am now back below 10k
what?

i decided to have a look at dervish armor, and get ready to be able to craft it as soon as we get to the docks - and then dye it as soon as i've bought it! i decided to go against spending a ridiculous amount on armor and going for elite - so it only costs 5k plus materials (and yes i still have 5k)

if you're interested i'm going for Istani armor which you can check out here
and there is a fair bit of coin invested in dye... i always like to put in the effort.
