Is this a bug? That I can’t dye illusioned items? I mean seriously, tell me this isn’t working as intended? I tried creating the illusion and then dyeing and I tried dyeing the appearance item then doing the illusion and I ended up with an item that couldn’t be dyed both times. The items I used for appearance are all dyeable.
It works fine for me, I am wearing dyed illusioned armor.
However I would like to mention that the “bug” part is that if your appearance source was already dyed, the illusion system does not keep that… it resets the converted item to the default color theme of the armor and you have to dye it again
Ok but was your stat source item dyeable?
That’s the problem. I’m trying to wear say Champions chest piece that is illusioned to be Pictish chest piece, but even after being illusioned the champions chest piece still isn’t dyeable.
Champion chest piece (not dyeable) used as stat item and pictish chest piece (dyeable) as the illusion piece and when you end up with the final product that final product (pictish look with champ stat) is not dyeable.
Yea, my source was the skelos cultist and the illusion was aquilonian, both can be dyed
I had a bug with one of my pieces, it looked deep black and i couldnt do anything in coloring menu, but after a relog it works normal.
Maybe you have something simular? I have a few armor illusions colored
Hmm, seems to be the opposite on xbox for the most part… i had a dyed armor and it kept the color dyes, when i tried to change it it wouldnt let me, it seems to work by a armor set by set basis because i have seen the issue you described also
EDIT: some sets seem to be working completely, and some armors are missing the coloring part of the texture even when dyes are applied(or not)
Is not dyeable. In order to dye an illusion, both pieces must be capable of being dyed
I think that would have been a bug then if it kept the colors and didn’t let you dye it, wonder if it’s platform specific hmm…
In any case that wasn’t the only armor I used illusions on, I redid my followers armors too which are different (guardian and barachan) and in all cases the new converted item simply fell back to the default color template of the illusion source armor (wish it would’ve kept it in those cases lol)
Which is completely and utterly stupid. (Just saying, not shooting the messenger). The entire point of illusion is to have a customizable set of armor, including colors, with the stats you want. This seems like just another half assed job by Funcom.
I wholeheartedly agree it’s dumb. But unfortunately that is just how it currently is, until the weight of the complaining becomes too much for them to bear and they change it. That’s definitely an option.
