Clarification regarding Coloring and Beauty systems
19 October 2007

In VU 9.0 changes and upgrades to the coloring system and the beauty system took place. The content list was unfortunately incomplete and some areas need further clarification.

The content list incorrectly states that "the system was rebalanced to provide the same output from fewer cans". Actually you now need more cans. This is in detail what is done:
The pre-VU 9.0 coloring system didn't transfer any of the TT value of the colors used to the clothing (or other colorable object) item. It also reduced the condition of the clothing item each time colored. The current system transfer most of the paint can's TT value to the clothing item colored. Also, clothes colored don't deteriorate in the process. So even if the amount of cans has increased in order to get the same output, the TT cost is reduced.

As a lot more options (like facial hair) are added (and will be added) into the Beauty system, some internal rebalancing has been made. This could mean that some skill level requirements have changed up or down in order to give way for all the options.

This is a blatan lie , as clothe does in fact decay of 1 pec when they get colored.
This can be see when you color full TT clothe with 100 can of orange , you get 89 pec back.
If you do the math , with bigger paint TT , you will the the output in always same , 90%-1pec...

Probably those color will drop more in future , when more colorer will be abel to use them.
Also , its fair that in coloring like all other profession there is fail even for best people.
And , as far as i know , sarah was in fact failling sometime even in old system , she never had 100% success .

New system seems to me way better than old , as now , all colorer have a chance to get at an interessing lvl.
Skilling is cheaper , and system make red and black accessible to all.

Maybe you preffer to stay a noob all you life...
Personally , i like to have the hope to improve.
