Why Isn't My Legendary Glass Style Rubedite Sword Not Green?

Well.. as green as it should be. It's so ugly. It's like this grey mixed with a little nasty olive green. Did I miss something, I thought glass was suppose to be green. I actually thought it would become greener, like the Ancient Elf Bow and Stave as you upgrade it... but it's just so ugly.

    Your subject is kinda confusing btw, the double negatives basically make your question Why is My Legendary Glass Style Rubedite Sword Green. I was genuinely confused, anyways when you craft something it takes on the appearance of the ore. Since you use rudebite and malachite the colors are mixing together and giving you the abomination in your hands. Hopefully that helps.

    Also, the enchantment that is on it has an effect on the color

    Yeah, I'm aware of the double negative, I was just in such a kerfuffle I couldn't think straight. 8 tempering alloy, 140 rubedite, 28k for the motif, kuta, repora... 100k basically wasted because they messed the color scheme up? Yeah I'm angry. I wanted a bright green sword to match my green bow and green resto staff.

    Ive seen that happen a few times. One player even posted the same issue but with a staff and they we talking about how ugly it looked.

    OP this can actually be fixed if they would allow us to dye weapons...

    The glass armour especially Rubedite looks pale as well, until dyed green...


    Just putting it out there :wink:

    They'll "introduce" weapon coloring when they don't feel like doing a major fix.

    ...or perhaps when an unnamed combat dev will grossly insert his seed into the coloration of our weapons.

    I detest how gear changes color depending on the material used in its construction.
