It is a problem for me when my held item does not completely match my outfit most the avatar items can be color customizable but none of the helds are so I propose you have the ability to change your held items color

I would LOVE to see this happen. I can see how it would be difficult to implement for the admins, though. All of the items would probably have to be changed to allow different colors to be applied to different details in the item, which would be A LOT of work in terms of coding. Plus, what would adding this feature do to the custom item ordering business? Plus, lots of items have more colors than the standard two...
It looks like this would be a lot more complicated than we think.

Aside from ruining the customs business, which would detract income from the site, this suggestion would require every held on the site to be reshaded from scratch, if not redrawn from scratch as well.

Held items are not shaded is the same way that recolorable items are, much like how the shading on items that have a recolorable version and existing theme colors actually varies quite a bit. This means anything that they still have the actual template to would need to be reshaded from scratch. Then we have the fact there are retired artists who did earlier work on the website. Do they even have layered templates anymore for those artists? If not, these would need to be redrawn as well as reshaded. This would cost a significant amount of money, and leave the artists too busy to make anything new for the site for -quite some time-.

One of the other reasons that non-recolorables exist, is because it allows for several versions of one item to be made, which cuts down on the number of unique artwork needed for bosses in fests to a degree. Each fest would suddenly have quite a bit fewer items to collect from the zone, and, from the fest shop. People would get bored more quickly and run out of things to do with the fest, which would again push for the need for more art to be commissioned, which again costs the site more money. It's just not really worth the cost to the site, and not having anything new for a very very long time to get recolorable helds.

That said, I think the suggestion that the site artists should try to make things mesh together better really does need to be made. A chief example of this: Gold. Does every gold item on the site really need to have it's own look that doesn't match any other gold item? Can't gold match occasionally too? It's painfully hard to get a color as recurringly seen as gold is to actually look cohesive when mixing and matching precolored items!


There have been times i've actually avoided purchasing a monthly item on the site because I knew it wasn't going to match -anything- else on the site except the set it came with. I don't feel that's really a positive aspect, if people have to hesitate to spend diamonds because they have to ask how versatile something is going to be. Every item doesn't have to match preexisting color schemes, but having some color hexes and reusing them here and there would go a long way to alleviating the difficulties that come with sets really looking like they don't belong with anything but the same items they were originally sold with.

Unfortunately, I cannot support this. It would bring the meaning of custom items down A LOT a better idea would be and eyedropper tool where you could get the exact color from the item.

As stated, this would be impossible to implement. Held items just are not created where they can be recolored. For pets and avatars, each color option you select is an individual layer of the item itself. When all of the layers are stacked together, you get the final result of the image.

Some held items have dozens of various colors and gradients and we have hundreds of different held items in the game. Just the amount of hours alone required to implement such a feature would be in the thousands - yes, thousands lol.

In regards to the other issue of items clashing, even of the same type, that is unfortunately due to the fact that we have probably had about 15 various artists work on Avatar Items over the course of time. There's not much that we can do about that, sadly. We always try to have each artist match our Site style as best as they can but that doesn't always turn out perfectly.

The one positive thing I can say is that Fai and I are heavily evaluating options for Revamped Sylestia in regards to the Avatar System. We understand the clashing... the odd options... the aging bases, etc. So we are evaluating our options in order to try to greatly improve for the future.
