celner4_ESO✭✭✭✭Yes. Add Weapon Dyes to the game.@RANKK7
Lol yeah the word "Work" or "Above Average", even "Going the extra mile" scare ZOS and I highly doubt they support those concepts. But maybe I’ll eat my words and be pleasantly surprised... PffthahahahaHide ya kids, hide ya wife, n' hide ya husband too cuz he be gankin' erybody up en heeyuh..1 -
GreyWolf_79✭✭✭✭Yes. Add Weapon Dyes to the game.I say yes, absolutely. I know there are more important matters, but I do remember the first time I dyed my armor, and thought, "hey, I should dye my weapons too, that would look cool." Upon realizing that there is no option to dye weapons, I then thought to myself, "what? You can't dye weapons? That sucks."3 -

TOR went down this road and the results weren't pretty.
How does my choice to use a wierd color affect you in any way that my wierdly colore armor does not? Honestly a fully pink armor set would be way more distracting than a pink sword.Edited by theher0not on July 11, 2017 9:30PM2 -

Currently everything is red. You can have an epic suit of steel armor and a giant lollypop red paddle without having any option to fix it.
Not to mention they allowed the option to dye shields, why the hell did they leave weapons out, to tease?Hide ya kids, hide ya wife, n' hide ya husband too cuz he be gankin' erybody up en heeyuh..1 -
Necomis✭✭✭Yes. Add Weapon Dyes to the game.It wouldn't be a bad option. Maybe limit it to the hilts of weapons. Color of the wrap, hand guard if equipped and the pommel.
As for blades themselves if it can be done also. I would maybe try different shades of grey and black that are available. I'm a big fan of obsidian black on mercenary armor metal parts. Gives it a black chrome look.0 -

✭✭Yes. Add Weapon Dyes to the game.I've been waiting years to dye my weapons purple to match my armor!Happy All the Holidays To You and Yours!

celner4_ESO✭✭✭✭Yes. Add Weapon Dyes to the game.I'd literally crap myself if this option came with next patch. I bet its completely possible to add the colour style sheet for weapons and have it ready to be available by then. What a wise decision it would be to do so, because of all the bugs we are currently dealing with lol, specifically the Queing system currently (BG's and DF being neglected for so long, BG's being one of the high selling points for Morrowind) .... I'd be a bit more forgiving

✭✭✭✭✭Yes. Add Weapon Dyes to the game.@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_MattFiror
Are you guys listening to the overwhelming player feedback on this? While the devs may disagree on adding it, the overwhelming majority of players want it... and supposedly you're all about listening to player feedback... except on this topic which has been brought up on the forums for years and all the polls and discussions have ended the same, with players wanting this added. So perhaps it's time to add another ESO+ exclusive... "weapon dyeing". CP: 2078 ** ESO+ 2025 Content Pass ** ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****
~~Started Playing: May 2015 | Stopped Playing: July 2025~~1 -
MakeNoiseMan✭✭✭Yes. Add Weapon Dyes to the game.Honestly, I'm surprised anyone can still maintain the argument that weapon dyeing could be immersion-breaking because of pink swords. Are red swords any better? Not to mention, a good number of motifs desaturate the metal so they're ALREADY pink (Redguard, Akaviri, Grim Harlequin, etc, I'm looking at you).
People already have the option to dye their armour any colour they want to. The option already exists to go full-on cotton-candy knight. Given the choice, which is more immersion-breaking: a pink blade, or a full suit of pink armour? The worse offender is already in-game. May as well finish the job and let Sir Bubblegum dye his greatsword, too.
Truthfully though, I seriously doubt many people would dye their weapons outlandish colours. Virtually everyone I have talked to—as well as most here on the forums—agrees that we want to dye our weapons natural colours. Steel blades. Wooden or neutral-coloured staves and bows. The awesome Lorkaj glow effect would make the Moondancer staff my favourite model in the game, but I simply can't get around its bright red material colouring. It makes it look like a toy.
In my opinion, this shouldn't even be a discussion. If there are coding issues, that's a different story. But there is no good in-game reason not to give people the option to dye their weapons. We can dye everything else—please please pleeeeaaase ZOS, let us dye our weapons too!

✭Yes. Add Weapon Dyes to the game.Hell yes there's even a slot for it ready to go and then it's pink axes for me yay!Aussie lag is real!0 -
Erris✭✭✭Yes. Add Weapon Dyes to the game.You can dye your skin the color of lava or cotton candy but weapons have to be red? I think the immersion ship has long since sailed here.
My guess is they can't figure out how to let us dye dual wield weapons, so they've come up with some silly "we don't want people running around in off-colored gear" excuse.4 -

The excuse ZOS has for not wanting weapon dyes is so blatantly rediculous it's obvious they just don't want to put the work into it. Simple as that.Hide ya kids, hide ya wife, n' hide ya husband too cuz he be gankin' erybody up en heeyuh..2 -
Karmanorway✭✭✭✭✭
✭Yes. Add Weapon Dyes to the game.However i think should be restrictions to which colours you can use on the weapons so it doesnt look to unrealistic. Maybe specific unlockable weapon dyes ?0 -
WoodenHeart✭✭✭✭Yes. Add Weapon Dyes to the game.Because I don't want to look like a Christmas tree if I dye my armor green and gold.2 -
celner4_ESO✭✭✭✭Yes. Add Weapon Dyes to the game.More dampened colours would be nice... But the idea we need restrictions on what colours to use for the weapons to keep it "Realistic" is SO funny and ridiculous.... We are playing a fantasy game where we can dye are armour and be a cotton candy warrior if we so please, with a molten lava skin riding a dwarven mechanical lama... Like please keep your control issues to yourself and do whatever the hell you want to do with your own character customization lol... This game in its entirety is far from realistic and the immersion ship has LONG since sailed here, as Erris had said.Edited by celner4_ESO on July 12, 2017 4:28PMHide ya kids, hide ya wife, n' hide ya husband too cuz he be gankin' erybody up en heeyuh..0

If they limit it to just a few colors then I'll vote no for weapon dyeing. I want acess to all colors that I can use on my armor.
Then I feel like the time spent would be better to use on other things.Edited by theher0not on July 12, 2017 4:38PM0 -
CorsennaRyu✭✭Yes. Add Weapon Dyes to the game.I know there are more important things, but he majority my characters wear some combination of black, gold, and green. I'm sick of running around with red weapons, I would far prefer black or gold, or even just plain steel colored.2 -
celner4_ESO✭✭✭✭Yes. Add Weapon Dyes to the game.My thoughts are if they aren’t prioritizing game maintenance and functionality already, which is most important in my opinion, Then why not give us something to calm our frustration

Is there a way to add more options after its been created and votes have been cast or no? This poll isn’t about what needs fixing its just a widely thought of addition to the game people would like and to simply see who wants it and doesn’t, weather because they care or don’t, when it comes to what needs FIXING I’d create a poll on the Bugs forms and that'd be a hefty poll indeed.Edited by celner4_ESO on July 12, 2017 5:24PMHide ya kids, hide ya wife, n' hide ya husband too cuz he be gankin' erybody up en heeyuh..0 -

OC_Justice✭✭✭Yes. Add Weapon Dyes to the game.For anyone who argues against not being realistic.
1. You are playing a fantasy game, like you can inhale health from an enemy and throw fire balls around in real life.
2. I present to you this.
