I know some of you people actually buy overpriced items ((because you are idiots)) just for the graphics or colours. So i guesd not all items will be included but we should have a colour dye system where you can make dyes by combinding all sorts of stuff. No idea on how to make dye in real life so uhm..yea you guys think of what would be needed. But anyways once you gather ingrdients to make dyes you can select an item and colour it to that colour!!

Course it would take a lot of work and most items would need multiple colours for it but admit it staff, you have been neglecting us lately. Graal kingdoms needs to give you something you can mess with and personalise apart from housing. I mean I don't want to be walking around with a blue ice shield do i?
I want to be walking around with a black ice shield!

I'm sure a lot of you guys have at least 1 item of clothing that is ugly and all it needs is a good colour to match everything else!
I'm sure you'd all agree with this.

Like i said before though...things like wis hats, dumb fools payed lots of diamonds just for that colour so I suppose other such items are dyable? Or even release new types of wis hats and other items which idiots payed for the colour?

For dyes, they generally use plants...So...Possibly a new use for flowers? :P

Black Ice Shield? Why not a Red Ice Shield. :3

Except there are already items out there that are simply recolors of existing items. (Arabic Sword + Blood Sabre, Sun Shield + another shield, different broadswords, the different bronze, silver, and gold helmets and armors, etc)

So although you might like to be able to dye them to whatever color you want, it's not really a good idea, since you could offer one item as another if someone isn't paying attention closely enough.

Also, I'd imagine it'd be a bit of a nuisance to implement, since each item is more than likely just referencing back to the mudlib to see what graphic it should use, rather than storing that information on each instance of the item (at least, it makes sense from a space issue to do that)
