==Merge Notes== | |||
Starting merge of [[Dye Information]], [[How to dye and color guide]], and [[Dyes]] below the HR. | |||
I thought that since this page is getting an overhaul anyway, it might be a good time to add in the information about the special sales, pigment cards, and DQ rewards. I might be missing a couple of colors that were on sale here and there, so any other input on those would be much appreciated. | |||
It might be good to add in the information about dying motocycles as well, or at least make a mention of it. I'd assume that it's the same process as dying a single item, but with a different starter option, but I've never done it myself, so I'd prefer someone to confirm that. | |||
''Image use.'' The most images are used from [[How to dye and color guide]]. They are about the same as the ones in [[Dye Information]], but the ones in the latter are unnecessarily marked and/or signed. In the former, the colored clothing examples are also broken down into smaller images, making formatting easier. Images for the Quick Finder are being pulled from [[Dyes]], but the hover over will use the correct PWI term and not the MY term that is listed on that page. | |||
The color finder is matched as best as I could tell. Grey doesn't seem to fit well and red is missing. A new image for those two might be the best way to go. | |||
The ''Dyed Fashion'' section currently has two images for each color (fashion and the pigment icon). The pigment icon is there for matching purposes only and will be removed once the color finder is finished. | |||

One of the big draws to Perfect World is character customization. What better way to continue that customization than to give your character their own sense of fashion. While there is a wide assortment of styles available in the [[boutique]], you may not always get a color that appeals to you. Luckily, there are Dyes, or Pigments, available to change the color of your clothes. | |||
==Types of Dyes== | |||
There are currently four in game items associated with dyes. | |||
'''Colored Pigment''' | |||
A colored pigment, such as ''Blue Pigment'' or ''Black Pigment'', is a unit of a specific color that can be applied to a fashion item. If you wish to dye your clothing a certain color, your only guarantee of getting them that color is by using colored dyes. | |||
'''Random Pigment''' | |||
A random pigment is just that, random. They are generally cheaper and easier to come by than specific colored pigments, but when you use them, you have no control over the color that they generate. | |||
'''Hot Colors Pack''' | |||
The Hot Colors Pack is a boutique item that yields a colored pigment when right clicked. The color is chosen at random, meaning that you'll need a lot of these if you are looking for a specific color. However, you can sell or trade the dyes you don't want to other players. | |||
'''Pigment Card''' | |||
In the boutique auction house, there is a chance at a pigment card. These cards can be traded at the Boutique Agent for a stack of 30 colored dyes, specific to the color of the card. | |||
The colors that have been released so far are: | |||
*red | |||
*pink | |||
*black | |||
*white | |||
==How to Acquire== | |||
There are many different ways to acquire dyes. You can try your luck with the boutique, sift through what others players don't want, or even trade in DQ points for a chance at something nice. | |||
===Boutique=== | |||
'''Permanent Additions''' | |||
The boutique currently has two types of pigments available on a permanent status: ''Random Pigments'' and the ''Hot Colors Pack''. | |||
[[Image:Howtoaquiredyesboutiquepic.jpg]] | |||
'''Special Sales''' | |||
On occasion, there will be a special sale for certain colored dyes. | |||
Colors that have previously been on sale: | |||
*red (Valentine's Day) | |||
*white | |||
*black | |||
*green (St. Patrick's Day) | |||
'''Boutique Auction''' | |||
As a part of the boutique auction, you can bid against other players on Pigment Cards using gold. | |||
===Players=== | |||
'''Catshops''' | |||
Some players like to try their luck with Hot Colors Packs and end up with unwanted dyes. Many of them will appear in catshops: | |||
[[Image:BuyingDyesfromaCatShopexamplepic.jpg]] | |||
'''Auction House''' | |||
Alternatively to the catshop, the Auction House may have a greater selection of dyes. Use the filter to search for a specific color quickly: | |||
[[Image:Howtoaquiredyesauctionhouse.jpg]] | |||
===DQ Points=== | |||
Since the release of the [http://pwi.perfectworld.com/dqrewards DQ Points] system, players may also cash in their DQ Points for Random dyes. | |||
==How to Dye== | |||
Once you've finished collecting your pigments, it's time to dye your clothes. You can either dye an individual piece of fashion or multiple pieces as a set. If you are dying your fashion as a set, you must use twice the number of dyes that you would use if you were dying each piece individually. The advantage to dying items as a set is that if you are using random pigments, every piece dyed together will result in the same color. | |||
Either way, you'll first need the appropriate number of dyes. This number can be seen at the bottom of each fashion item: | |||
[[Image:Examplesofhowmanydyesarerequiredperpiece.jpg]] | |||
Get your dyes and head over to the nearest seamstress, and choose the option ''Dye Clothes'' | |||
'''Individual Pieces''' | |||
To dye an individual piece of fashion, make sure that the ''Single'' tab is selected. Drag the fashion you want to dye into the top slot and the dyes into the lower slot. | |||
[[Image:Singlepieceequipmentdyingscreen.jpg]] | |||
If everything has been entered correctly, the "Dye" button will light up. Click it and enjoy your new fashion. | |||
'''Sets''' | |||
To dye a set of fashion, make sure that the ''Sets'' tab is selected. Drag the fashion pieces you want to dye into the top slots and the dyes into the lower slot. You may dye a maximum of one piece of each type (armwear, legwear, etc) as part of a set but the set does not have to include something of each type. | |||

Revision as of 19:02, 12 July 2011
I put in a link to PerfectSpectrum, hope you dont mind? ^^ --Jollyjaguar 10:40, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
ye np thnx for that
Merge Notes
Starting merge of Dye Information, How to dye and color guide, and Dyes below the HR.
I thought that since this page is getting an overhaul anyway, it might be a good time to add in the information about the special sales, pigment cards, and DQ rewards. I might be missing a couple of colors that were on sale here and there, so any other input on those would be much appreciated.
It might be good to add in the information about dying motocycles as well, or at least make a mention of it. I'd assume that it's the same process as dying a single item, but with a different starter option, but I've never done it myself, so I'd prefer someone to confirm that.
Image use. The most images are used from How to dye and color guide. They are about the same as the ones in Dye Information, but the ones in the latter are unnecessarily marked and/or signed. In the former, the colored clothing examples are also broken down into smaller images, making formatting easier. Images for the Quick Finder are being pulled from Dyes, but the hover over will use the correct PWI term and not the MY term that is listed on that page.
The color finder is matched as best as I could tell. Grey doesn't seem to fit well and red is missing. A new image for those two might be the best way to go.
The Dyed Fashion section currently has two images for each color (fashion and the pigment icon). The pigment icon is there for matching purposes only and will be removed once the color finder is finished.
