Ruby Ash and Rubedite (Are there any non-red motif options for CP160 weapons?)

I really dislike the red colour of the max. tier weapons (CP160), made of ruby ash/rubedite. Have been using a glass staff for the longest time because so far it's the only one I have found which is not red.

Are there any other options, or do rest of the motifs end up red with CP160 materials?

Not an important issue, but I'd really prefer to be able to make actual use of all the new motifs. And as long as weapon dyeing isn't a possibility, so far it hasn't been an option. :/

    Nope.. Max lvl weapons are red.. Could be worse though :smile: in one of the other mmo's that I play, the endgame Heavy Pistol and shotgun have Playboy Pink handles..

    I don't think dro m'artha comes out red but that's about it.

    Ancient Elf weapons are a horrid shade of green more than they are red, so there's that :).

    No seriously glass weapons are the only ones I've found which aren't red at max level.

    Oh well. Disappointing. Thanks for the answers though! :) This seems to make most of the weapon motifs pretty useless for us that don't like red...

    Actually I just looked up cp160 Dro'math-ra weapons and they look kind of red to me :(.

    Yes, that looks a pretty ugly and "muddy" red.

    I think pact, covenant, dominion, and glass staves aren't red. I'm not sure about anything else though.

    The alliance style weapons aren't red when you get a CP 160 agility, endurance, willpower weapon but I'm not sure if they're the same color when you craft them.

    I loathe the red weapons so much that I use these alliance weapons on my characters, even if it's weaker then an alternative...I really can't stand the lipstick swords.

    Dwemer might not be red though

    That's disappointing. Hopefully ZOS stops the crap and lets us dye weapons...we can dye everything else now.

    Weapon dyes for a small fee of 4000 crowns anyone?

    Short answer is no, no other style other than glass isn't red.

    Long answer is we need weapon dyes. How much you wanna bet they'll charge for it?

    Sorry, I'm on about the DC ones. Not made EP or AD though. But I assume they are the same

    The staff isn't red, nor is the bow.

    The Soul Shriven staff isn't really red, it is a dark brown color and it looks really good, you could try that.

    The only one I can recommend is glass. I use the glass sword because I hate red weapons, and it looks okay.... but it really irks me that I am forced to use glass just to have a fairly normal looking weapon.

    It's not so bad. It's like Runescape's Dragon Gear which is also red.
