It's completely random.

There is no specific area or enemy that drops dyes at a higher percentage than others.

You can get them anywhere, but they are VERY rare. It's all just luck as to who finds them and where.

Some people have found serveral, some have found none. I've found 2 in the past 3 months; one in pre and one in post.

"You are more likely to have a bird crap on your head than you are to get a black dye drop."

True.

Some ppl have Lvl 20 characters and swear they've never gotten a single Black Dye drop - and I believe them because it's quite possible.

xiuk · Aug 19, 2005, 06:25 PM // 18:25

i have 3 level 20 characters and a level 17 , one black dye drop

Epiph · Aug 19, 2005, 06:34 PM // 18:34

SIlver isnt rare at all... I have 33 silver and all are from drops...

I have 4 blacks and have 2 full sets of armor dyed black most were from drops, prob 10 of the blacks were drops.

A lot of the blacks dropped in UW

hahaha!

I've got 3 level 20's in the Crystal Desert and a level 13. I have 2 black dyes, one from a drop and one which I bought from a noob for 1 gold. I've got 6 silver drops though.

Volarian · Aug 19, 2005, 07:42 PM // 19:42

I've actually found more silver than any other and or seen more silver than any other.........but BLACK....2 found in 3 months and 5 see in 3 months.

Olfin Bedwere · Aug 19, 2005, 08:58 PM // 20:58

I played the E3 event, the World Week-end Event, and all but 1 of the Pre-Order week ends which means I started 2 days before retail release and I just got my first Black Dye last week.

The God Of Metal · Aug 19, 2005, 09:03 PM // 21:03

I got my first Black Dye drop about a week ago and I've been playing for almost 4 months now.

Amei Leng · Aug 20, 2005, 07:02 AM // 07:02

I have 15 blacks and more than 50 silvers, So black is harder to fine.

Also, ONLY for Necro armor, it seems if you mix blue and silver, you get black!!!

terrordactyl · Aug 20, 2005, 09:16 AM // 09:16

I have had 1 drop in pre-searing catacombs - that's it.
