Add Dye(armor/weapon paint) in game

Add dye potions to drop from which ever monsters you wish or simillar to essences then you use with cube and create a specific dye.
For body Armor and weapons, at least.
Seriously, using runewords is visually boring, even after 20 years… yes.
There were some mods with this, really is very simple now, and important is to affect D2R graphics, legacy doesn’t matter.
Please… Just please add dye painting one way or another, or just add it to shop, we need this.
Please, add it!(and maybe Aura from runeword armor like sets do ? idk)
Who doesn’t like this can simply not use it, I’d personally love to color my armor, please, do it, please!(sure, would love that Tyrael’s Armor makes you look unique, but that is too much work maybe, but this is really simple i could do it for you for free, any modder could.

I kinda don’t think this game is the type that should have dyes and transmog. D3 is one thing…there are a lot more unique armor looks and each piece changes your character’s model. This game has far fewer.

I dunno. My opinion is more along the lines of liking the simplicity. It makes you choose your runeword bases with just a smidgen more thought unless you’re a pure-stat minmaxer.

Don’t want transmog(transmog just changes appearance no matter what items u got on you, i want items to represent my looks)
-pure armor dye(can be perm on armor u pick)
-some unique armors to make you look like the armor representation(like Trang-Oul’s set turns you into a Ghoul, Vampire Gaze actually has unique look to it, idk, armors to make you look like they look in their art representation, original game developers only made few things look unique when u put it on because it was a lot of work to do, not because that was not their original idea, but anyway, at least the paint, everything is so dull).
Some items still don’t even match their art work(aka Heaven’s Light Mighty Scepter, as example).
A bit of character customization, so we don’t all look like copies.
Cheers!

currently you can tell what gems are inserted into equipment.

For instance if you pvp, you can tell what equipment others have on judging by color. If you could just dye all armor this would be taken away.

but yeah, item color is already built into the game with enchantment colors.

i would be 100% against the idea of dye if it weren’t for what they did to shako because of it i would be for dye that only changes the color personally while still showing the natural color to everyone else. Shako is the most common and yet one of the top 3 ugliest helms in the game now

ok i will play pvp with gemmed ordinary bone visage with chipped ruby so it looks like i want and u can use Dream runeword, or 45ias/120ed one, because.
And honestly, inspecting enemy gear, instead of guessing, is something any modern(well even WoW which is 17 years old, has it).
QOL missing.
Not to mention that it takes more time to inspect what’s on the ground because of all the potions and junk, then kill the mobs.
Filter needed. QOL.
Maphacks were the best QOL, they had all modern advantage RPG games have, but for some reason its called “hacks” in diablo lol.
And at least if the dye would only affect appearance on my party, i don’t mind that, my char would look as i want it too even if i am only one who see it, but need dye, or i will stop playing after a while, i can’t change pvp eq or mf eq. just for the sake of looks, and behave poorly.
Also an in-game timer would be useful to know how long my mf runs last.
