Anyone else get the impression that orange and silver are the two most common dyes? I have something like 30 silver, plus I've used a bunch.

I agree... silver sucks. For a while, I had around 60 just from drops. All of which got used trying to find decent colors... I failed miserably.

Nearly 900hrs of playing between 3 ascended characters and I have gotten only 2 black dyes. Both were in pre-searing with my original character, when the game came out. Silvers I have gotten probably 50 in all. Orange and Green too many to even remember.

You are just unlucky or search in the wrong areas
I have found several black dye, most in pre (of course) where the river scale brood in the water cave dropped some, some of the bandits near the bear (beer) hunters & the stone golems at wizards folly. And the pre- northlands bosses. in seering it was at desert (ettins) and ring of fire (ettin boss) superior vigor (only got one..)was found during Last day dawns from (titan ) minor vigors drop regulary in pre- northlands. my two cents |

1 Black dye, about 5-6 months of playing after my probably 50th griffon run.
Never seen another one since. |

I found a black dye in the catacombs my second day playing. I used it on my pre-sear collector armor and found out about 10 minutes later what it was worth. My guildie and I each found one about a week later. I still have those two sitting in storage. I've been playing since about a week after the game came out and neither I, my husband nor our best friend have seen one since.
We have been pretty lucky on runes though. I'm still waiting for the superior absorption, but I think we've found almost all the other ones. |

update
Hi,
As originator of this thread awhile back just updating you guys about my almost countless Black Dye drops (literally countless when you have none there is nothing to count...). With my first character still no luck. About 6months playing and no black dye, no sup. vigor or sup. absorption either. However, with my second PVE character got my first and only black dye drop in Pre-Sear while fighting the River Skales near the 'enchanted fountain' or something like that... I finally got my first ecto about 2wks ago while doing a 6-person smite run in UW and a nice sup. monk rune in SF...which was nice. But then again I am mostly messing around experimenting with my PVP builds and trying to get my 2nd char. ascended. I guess I just have to farm more. |

I've only had one drop ever and that was in pre-searing in my 10th hour or so, didn't know how valuable it was until it was too late.
After doing a bit of math I found that the average playing time to drop ratio is 550.95 Hours to 4.75 Black drops. Then I found for drop per hour and I believe I came up with .00862147, but that's based on the numbers on this thread only. My math isn't too great so these numbers could be completly wrong. |
