I may be weird, but it annoys me, I cannot dye my shield, so it fits to my armor.
I'm not saying you should be able to dye everything you find, but I would like option to dye shields and weapons that I create.

    I can't quite remember, and I may even be making this up, but I want to say I remember them talking about this why dyeing first came out. I think it was determined that it wasn't likely going to happen with weapons but might happen with shields sometime down the road? Something to do with "technical reasons."

    Again, I may be making it up, but I think that's where it stands

    Did you search before creating this thread? Your answer lies there. This is one of those topics that pops up again and again. I'll restrain my dead horse gif, but don't be surprised if a few pop up. ZO$ does what the hell ZO$ wants to do, regardless of any leading statements they might make about changes to the game. What wouldn't surprise me is a Crown operated dye station in the CrownStore that lets you pay to dye your shield and weapon.

    You're the first guy ever that has this idea.

    How about dyeing our v14 purple swords to be normal colored?

    Why not? The game is colorful enough so this won't break dress codes.

    And if this will come with weapon naming, I finally can slay my nemesis with the Fluffy Bunny Hopper.

    If they don't allow straight up dying, they should all blacksmiths to select the tint of the weapon upon creation (and you could only have access to the tints that are at and below your current crafting capability). Hell, they could even add another crafting ingredient to the game that would be for this specific purpose; to craft it in any tint except the level-dictated base on, you'd need to find the tint you wanted (that fit within your crafting skill level of course).
