Online:Armor Dyes

Armor Dyes are colors which can be applied to your armor at any Dye Station. Dye Stations can be found in most major cities, generally near the Alchemy Stations. There is at least one Dye Station for each zone. Dyes are acquired by unlocking Achievements. Unlocked Dyes are shared across accounts, so multiple characters can use them. This allows, for example, players in one Alliance to use Dyes exclusive to another if they have been unlocked by another character.

Dyeing your armor is free and requires no resources of any kind. You may re-dye the same armor piece as many times as you like. But once an armor piece is dyed once, it is permanently bound to your account, and cannot be traded to other players. It may of course still be sold to NPCs, deconstructed, researched, or destroyed. You can only apply dyes to armor you are currently wearing. Other armor in your inventory is not available in the Dye Station interface. All armor pieces may be dyed, including those received as a quest reward.

Each armor piece can have three different colors applied to it. From left to right on the interface they include a primary color, a trim color, and a secondary color. The primary color will be the most prominent on the armor, while the secondary will be seen on some of the smaller sections. Trim color usually separates the two. This of course depends greatly on the type and style of armor in question. In the Dye Station interface, you may have up to four pre-defined sets, which can be applied wholesale to a piece of armor, or you can apply colors directly to each piece without using sets. You can also use the Copy Color tool to see what color an armor piece already has, in order to apply it to other slots. You can preview your color choices without committing them, and rotate your character to see them from multiple angles. Once you have chosen the colors you want, you can commit your changes, which will make them permanent.

Dyes come in three different rarities and seven different hue sets. Common Dyes are relatively easy to acquire, and can generally be unlocked by any character. Uncommon Dyes require a good bit more work to unlock, and some may only be available to certain Alliances, may require a significant investment in crafting skills, may only be available to Veteran level players, etc. Rare Dyes are much more difficult to get, and only the most dedicated players are likely to see many of them. You can sort the available Dyes either by rarity or by hues, which are roughly divided into Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Brown, and Grey. Additionally, you can optionally filter out the Dyes you have unlocked from those you haven't. Rolling over a Dye will show you which achievement is needed to unlock it if you haven't yet, and you can click on the description to be taken to the achievements page to see it in more detail.
