Found a few blacks early on while bringing my characters through pre-searing, and only one since. I don't farm though, just play the game. One of my daughters found one in pre-searing and sold it to the merchant for one gold before I told her what it was worth -- not a happy camper.

When you know where and how to farm for Black dye in Pre-Searing, you'll find about one every 2 hours, in other words: A waste of time. You shouldn't farm them, you won't get enough profit.

Wow bad luck for you all. Had around 25 at the high times of black sales and made a fortune selling most of them. Have since collected (through regular playing) approximately 10. Haven't logged on in about 2 weeks, but if I remember correctly I have about 18-22 in storage. Don't know how many silvers or other colors I have, but I know it it a lot.

448hours and 29 minutes of play time, and I have never had a black dye drop. My best friend has had 2 and she almost never plays! It is a little frustrating.

I've got one recoverable one in 300 hours. We were fighting our way to Dunes of Despair, and I got one from a devourer there. The whole group clapped for me.

I also got two black dye drops from stone elementals in Old Ascalon. Unfortunately, it was with my ranger, and they were far away. As I walked towards them, my poor character slowed... and stopped... and waited... ERR=7. Yeah, that pissed me off.

Silver, now, silver's a different story. I got like, 30 silvers in pre-searing. Unfortunately, I sold them all back to the trader before prices shot up in the summer. And I haven't gotten any since going post-searing, on any character, at all.

I have played for nearly 1500 hours never found a black dye or a decent gold weapon at all, i once found a staff with +30 health but i got wood when i salvaged it. Only way i can make gold in this game is buying low and selling high as the game seriouly hates me and never drops anything good for me. Only good drop i have got was victo's blade, i was one of the very first to find it and got 50 ecto for it.

I've been getting a ton of silvers lately, mainly from Drakes outside Elona. I've gotten 5 blacks in my 771 hours.
