4pm - 1am yesterday:

3 Dye drops, green, brown, orange, one to each of the non-AI players I was in.

Normally I don't see dye drops, so I guess this is the result of the double drop.

Double dye weekend? Ok, when's this start?

I only ask because I've been playing for hours over the past two day's and haven't had a single dye drop for me!

Pretty much, I've gotten no more dyes then I normally do, which is hardly any and when they do drop its yellow, go figure.

Got nothing, but not really big with the caring. Got 4 missions done, explored a ton of territory and leveling my heroes and their pets.
If you really want dyes, I'd suggest you do what most dye farmers do. Go solo the newbie areas and kill the low level monsters. Quick to kill and all drops for you. Going in the high level areas with a full party won't see you get much. Even with double drops.

Our guild was playing in Tombs last night ... and we got like 6 dyes drop over the team of 8. No one remembers seeing so much dye in there ever before.

I've been trying to be good and get my monk through Prophecies (and test the heroes) before I get hooked on exploring Elona. This weekend I've seen what seem like unusually frequent dye drops in the desert and south Shiverpeaks, just while questing.

Perhaps someone flipped the wrong switch and set it to everywhere except Elona?

Just a thought

Over the weekend i got one dye drop in Elona and around 10 in Tyria. Seems a little strange.

Been there, done that. Didn't get any more then I ever do. DDW = Fail.

One blue dye so far and I have been playing several hours every day since it started.

Overnite · Nov 05, 2006, 07:37 PM // 19:37

1 frikkin blue dye so far and this was my longest PvE session since times immemorial. But I'm not really surprised, I remember my first level 20 character, getting his first dye drop ever in the timed Crystal Desert mission where you have to carry pieces of some crap to the ghostly hero.

I'm guessing it's one of them "anti-farming" thingies gone wrong.

Jongo River · Nov 05, 2006, 08:12 PM // 20:12

My Dervish only managed 3 in Jarin today, so I switched to my Necro and got another 8.

Nothing special - most valuable was a couple of reds, but they're stacking up nicely.

Matix411 · Nov 05, 2006, 11:15 PM // 23:15

I've found two dyes since Friday, and they were both Orange.

gamecube187 · Nov 05, 2006, 11:24 PM // 23:24

I've been playing all weekend now (in Elona) and I haven't gotten a single dye!

I thought this was double drops, not half as many! Or maybe I'm just really, really unlucky this weekend....

Jeff Highwind · Nov 06, 2006, 12:35 AM // 00:35

I was doing a quest in Desolation and I got a White Dye.

Think aNet's trying to tell me somthing?

**cosyfiep** · Nov 06, 2006, 12:42 AM // 00:42

hm, I took my tyrian ele out north of kamadan, got a mess of dyes (red, purple, silver and brown).....on one trip, havent gotten a single dye since then (last night).....and the ele boss gave me a starter green too! I then went to other areas my character have never been, nothing, did the mission got lots of bones, lots and lots of them.

Hubby only got 1 blue for all his efforts this weekend----and he is the lucky one when it comes to drops!

so I had one good run, since then I have been getting keys--- wts istani keys!

BurningFeetMan · Nov 06, 2006, 02:19 AM // 02:19

9 dyes all up, only normal colours of no huge value. Most of the dyes were found on Noob island. I solo'd my way around finishing off all of my quests, no henchies or heroes taking up my drops. Nine level 18 fiends really make light work.

KiRi · Nov 06, 2006, 04:32 AM // 04:32

34 dyes total i think for me...i didnt get to play much but my guild was having a contest tosee who would get the most XD

I noticed something similar myself. Running around Elona for most of my spare time during the weekend... nuffin'. Helping a guildie through Ruins of Surmia and Nolani Academy... and there were two of'em.

The drakes almost always drop either drake chunks or blue armour.

I guess Iam just unlucky as I had to do this multiple times to get the one chunk required for a quest. and no dyes but occasional blue item (not armor). I think I have found three runes so far. Mind I only have a few characters in Nighfalll and the furthest (Paragon) is only lvl 13.

I got 100+ scrolls for the double scroll weekend a while back (yay...) and 1 yellow dye for the double dye weekend. Seriously, I got more dye during the double scroll weekend (about 12, including 1 out of 5 black dyes I saw drop) than I did this weekend. Oh well.

Also note, I saw no one else get any dye this weekend and I was only using heroes/henchmen about 20% of the time I played. For the most part, I was in full player parties (besides when you have to bring a Hero for a mission or quest which I think is just stupid. Make it a NPC!)

Omega X · Nov 06, 2006, 06:46 AM // 06:46

Something was seriously wrong with this Double Dye Drop weekend. I've got nothing but gold, purple, blue weapon/rune drops over the weekend and only 2 dye drops. I think that they messed up on this one.
