Yalm question

Postby Sporkleet » Fri Oct 06, 2006 8:04 pm

Copper wants a copper yalm. Im sick of the boring white yalm, white yalms are like those eastern european cars you see everywhere in the national geographic mags the same boring things comming and going in everydirection. Im a bit req and $$ wise away from a sleekblack executive class yalm so I want to repaint mine... a copper color would be best, trouble is I never seen a can of 'copper' in the paintshop, what color is it that makes the coppery yellow-orange I see on painted yalms? I want to know before I start testing, 11m is alot to blow on the wrong can o paint

The basic yalms can only be painted Red or Yellow.

The different yalms, Adagas, Poniards, etc can be painted different colors.. The copper colored yalm is actually an AI yalm, and they're stupidly expensive

I am aware there are differing yalm, ive got the 29478 not the 00 model, there are evidently two colors the vivid red then the gold flash. I know the golden color on the Adaga, ive seen em in person. Im trying to see what color I need to get the yalm a copper color if its the red or the gold. game lighting makes them look a bit off at times and to my knowledge I havent seen a 'ferrari red' yalm, that makes me nervous as which one makes the white yalm the 'inside of a slice of cornbread color' or the 'pumpkin pie filling color' I want the pumpkin color but not sure if its a light effect on the goldflash or if its the color the game thinks is 'vivid red'. Im trying to make sure I dont end up with either a ferrari color of red or a yellow similar to a manila folder. and about the copper being the AI yalm, ive seen copperish colored yalms and they look identical to the white yalms like my model 29478 (not sure if you were talking about the stretch jobs out there like the adaga)

The red paint will make that coppery-orange color you're looking for, unlike the vibrant red of the AI yalm paints. In very rare lighting I've seen my yalm appear red, but it looks orange to me normally.

The old Notum Wars paint jobs are Red or Yellow and just make your yalm colored and look bigger but don't change it's shape otherwise. The AI Yalm upgrades ingame have Yellow, Red & Pink varieties and those upgraded yalms look very different, very elongated with pointy wings and front tip.

This forum is definately not the right place to ask about game mechanics. I would suggest a trip to the official ao forums to straighten out the yalm colo(u)r debate.

*realizes how very much of a Princess she is being* well, theres only one thing to do now. I'm just gonna have to paint my two yalms with each color and post the pics. I'm almost willing to bet that they are actually going to be the exact same color. *grumbles something about data limits in the game* WTB princess smile, but this will have to do til then : :evil:



((not to be greedy, but the org I was running for about ten-twelve months had to be disbanded and with it the bank I had been growing all that time, those members with activity in the past 6 mos will get their share of the bank if I ever hear from them. I say this because I'm looking VERY 'daddy's girl' atm and IM NOT! *goes outside to pout in her full scale barbie malibu dream house*

ok ok im a spoiled lil brat ((ty boinky that definitly would have helped, if I wasnt so impatient)) in my defense, Ive played this game for well over a year now and I deserve a lil bit of self indulgence *pounds her foot down and shouts 'Copper wanted a copper yalm'*

ps they are in certain light conditions the same color when zoomed in close so yea I'll admit this was a runabout sort of a post topic in dire need of a deletion :oops:

NEITHER! *starts throwing things around like a poorly pampered celeb* honestly though the gold flash is better looking at night and the vivid red is better in sunlight, they are still in the middle not true colors they need to be named yellow-orange and red-orange, too bad they are on different chars LOL. Im just gonna have to make do with what I got *sighs and puts daddys credit card back in the wallet* The vivid red is more of my liking truthfully.
