The best dye farming Ive ever done was when i was a lower level, going into the Ascalon foothills and killing the hydra that littered the area, I got 1 black, 2 silvers and a few more in the first run. Dont recall picking up anymore black from the area...but that one run was worth it.

Ive been playing almost 10 months, and have found 2 blacks with 6 characters(2 deleted, rest ascended and at THK or beyond). Of course, I dont farm because Im so bad at it, but I would like to know how you make almost 10k/hour, Mister B.

10k an hour can be done....but they have to be good. I dont consider myself good, but I can pull 6-7k an hour just buy farming diviner's ascent. Which of course isnt the best spot in the game, but if I can do 6-7k there...Im sure some could reach 10k or so somewhere else.

The best dye farming spot in Tyria must be Anvil Rock, the minotauers drop loads of dye for me. I do 1-2 runs a week and clear out the whole area, and a normal "catch" is 3-4 dye's a run + 1-2k in materials

Do trolls drop many dyes near droks? I will try anvil rocks the minoteors there are only level 10 arnt they?

Fissure of Woe Spider cave takes me about an hour, because I'm slow at it, and I have a hybrid build to farm the Forest of the Wailing Lord. I average 3 obsidian shards, plus 1 gold chest(more if I go to the forest). Also, I salvage everything(almost) and do material trading. When Factions came out, I ran the Kurzick Supply quest for ~20K/hour. Amber prices were over 2k, then.Check the farming section for other builds. I farm with my warrior; several areas can yield 10K+ an hour.

edit: On topic, my favorite dye farming has to be charrslaying; one-hit kills for the win!

So.... why is this in the Questions and Answers topic again?

And I think dyes are not related to the difficulty of foes, just every foe can drop a dye when he dies. So maximizing your kill count will result in faster dye drops.

I've gotten 2 blacks in 4 months. My boyfriend has gotten 0 in 18 months. So it really is quite random.

Heard a rumour that dyes drop like crazy in some areas after the anti-farm code kicks in...

Have yet to try it...

Just my 2c...
