→‎Dyeing Companions or Items: added how to recolor an item

{{Arpg}}

 Dyes are items used to recolor portions of a Mothcat/Subspecies, Item, or Companion. Both MYO and Official Mothcats can be dyed.

=== Special Dyes ===

Special dyes add effects to the character or item being dyed. [[Applied Traits]], such as glittering and metallic effects, are achieved by using special dyes, named '''essences''' for distinction.

 

== Dye Coverage ==

Dyes have different coverage, depending on what is being dyed. The maximum coverage is how much of the body can be coated with one bottle of dye. Multiple bottles of dyes are required for full body coverage for Mothcats. Old art style dye bottles (small, reverse tear-shaped) are retired items but may still be used for dyeing at half the coverage of a new bottle.

For example, only one (1) bottle of dye is needed to completely dye an item a certain color. Two bottles of a specific color are required to completely recolor a Mothcat to that color.

 

'''Please note that these values are for solid dyeing only. See below for exceptions and techniques.'''

 

==Methods and Techniques==

 

=== Pre-Existing Markings ===

All pre-existing markings can be recolored with dyes without needing extra items. Markings can be "hidden" by coloring them with the same color as the surrounding fur.

 

=== New Markings ===

New markings can be added to Mothcats using [[Dye|Marking Primer]], in addition to any required dyes for colors.

 

=== Gradients ===

Regular dyes only offer "flat" and "solid" recolors. To add gradients, an [[Dye|Essence of Rainbow]] must be used.

 

=== Eyes ===

Eyes can be dyed by using [[Dye|Eye Primer]] along with a normal or egg dye. Egg dye is used when only the eye color is being changed, or if the new eye color is not otherwise being applied to the cat. Otherwise, the eyes are considered part of the cat's "area" for determining how many regular dye bottles are needed.

 

One Eye Primer changes one color in the eyes- it cannot be used to add more colors. More eye colors can only be added through trait changes (such as heterochromia for more iris colors, or colored scelra for the sclera).

 

Essences may not be used with Eye Primers- only normal and egg dyes can be used.

 

=== Items ===

All items can be recolored freely as long as the right dyes are being used.

==Purchasing Dyes==

* If you want a darker or lighter shade of a color than the dye is you may be required to purchase additional black and/or white dyes to get your specific desired color.

==Self-Service Character Dyeing (==All information on recoloring Mothcats/Subspecies)or subspecies is now on the [[Salon Guide]]! == Dyeing Companions or Items==* Users must update {{See also|Adding Custom Items}} Items can be recolored at the [http://mothchivefav.deviantartme/dbivo0h General Crafting Quest] or the [http://fav.comme/ Mothchivedbivotk Fashion Design Quest] with updated images for Mothcats and subspecies' once , depending on the process has been approved (additional changes will not be accepted until type of item. If the masterlist item is up-to-date with only being recolored, no background is needed on the most current design).* Dyes can be used to dye any existing markings and/or parts of a Mothcat, but '''cannot be used to create new markings'''. Dyes cannot be used in gradientsquest entry.* Eyes cannot be recolored with dyes!

==Self-Service Dyeing (CompanionsCompanion dyeing is currently ''not'' available, but will be at the [http:/Items)==/fav.me/dbijygi Companion Shop] when active.* All dyes provide 100% coverage of any item/companion{{See also|Adding Custom Items}}** You can use both regular and egg dyes for this, though egg dyes are recommended.

* It the user's responsibility to provide a '''70x70''' thumbnail of desired recolored items and companions. Bases are provided for some items, but not all.

* Companions must be dyed "natural" colors. (For example, you cannot dye a hamster to be pink, whereas black or white would be acceptable).

** Rank A or higher members may request "unnatural" colors, but it must be approved.* You can use both regular and egg dyes for this, though egg dyes are recommended.
