First of all, it's not my wiki page, so really your criteria should be "do I think this would make the page better for most people?". If it does (eg. if you don't think most people would consider the color black), who cares what Loramin thinks? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I'll never be upset at anyone genuinely trying to make the wiki better, even if they're undoing my work.

Second, you actually found a bug here! Something must have gone wrong when I did the automated fashion categories, and half of the Tier'dal armor got given the "Black" category instead of the "Black Rock".

As you noted "Black Rock" isn't Black (and whoever added it to the FashionQuest Guide correctly added it under the Blue tints). The only reason that screenshot was even on the black page was because of this category bug.

As an aside, you may be wondering: why is a dark blue tint called "Black Rock"? As it turns out, there were a lot of tints, and neither Verant nor Lucy, where I stole the data from, named them.

I didn't want to name the categories "Fashion: #FFFFFF", so I used a color-naming software library to name the colors. It did a pretty good job, all things considered ... but a few of its choices were less than great. Still, I couldn't find a better name for "#01012d" on the Internet ... the only other name I found was the just as bad "Black Russian" ... and "Black Rock Blue" sounded dumb to me ... so I kept "Black Rock" for now.

If anyone has a better name, and doesn't mind editing all the wiki pages in that category to fix it ... please see my first point!

For now, I fixed all the Dark Elf armor to be "Black Rock", and then moved that one screenshot to the "Black Rock" category. Nice catch!

It's too late for the topic creator but anyone who wants easiest black helmet to get quickly there's actually a very special black helmet that very few people know about in Oasis of Marr. The Goblins at the bottom of the water drop the opaline helmet. It's a pre lambent Quest item and it's obtainable quite early if you can get a mid-level person to kill some goblins
