Looking at it, the DRK soulstone is also a purple/red colour, not actually pure black

dyes don't work on glows (see Zodiac weapons)

But with some luck the 51-100 floors give a dyeable weapon with no glow that hide the color.

Dyes affect the glow on the High Allagan weapons so they clearly can do it.

The glow on these weapons isn't actually a particle effect anyway, it's just a bloom post-processing effect applied to a very high emission texture. The colour of the bloom effect would be controlled simply by the colour of the weapon texture. It would literally be no different at all to normal dyes in terms of coding.

Hey, don't insult the purple-black lightsaber crystal, that is the best looking saber crystal in the whole game. I say hell yes to giving drk a red/black or purple/black sword. I also think a pure black crystal in swtor would look badass personally.

I listed the colors of each soul stone in a previous thread here they are.

Paladin: Pale Blue
Monk: Yellow
Warrior: Red
Dragoon: Blue (slightly lighter than Scholar)
Bard: Chartreuse
Ninja: Dark Purple
Dark Knight: Burgundy
Machinist: Cyan
White Mage: White/Ecru
Black Mage: Purple
Summoner: Green
Scholar: Blue (slightly darker than Dragoon)
Astrologian: Orange

I thinm they all match except DRK, and possibly Machinist, but I havent run with any machinists, so I cant say for sure.

Machinist soulstone is cyan so it's a match :)

maybe they let us upgrade the weapons with stuff from floor 51-100 etc with 3.4

this way they could make the ilvl 250 versionen dyeable or other features with the skins in relic style
