Anyone can use minipets; only rangers can get regular pets.

nuker - usually an E/Me with meteor storm and some other heavy damage AoE attacks
farmer - someone who kills mobs alone to collect maximum ammount of loot and cash. Farming is a way of collecting stuff, mostly money, but also rare resources. Can be done in groups for certain rare items.
Tank - usually warrior, keeps mobs from running into soft targets by body blocking or agro management

Nuker and tank roles can vary slightly in certain areas/builds.

Minipets don't have a use, you can just show them in explorable/mission areas, so anyone can use them.

Price of silver dye is determined based on what the dye merchant is willing to buy/sell it for. Medium of merchant's price is a good bet.

Okay,

1) A nuker is a character (usually an elementalist) that specializes in Area of Effect damage.
2) A farmer is a character build that is used to repeatedly kill certain monster, to obtain their drops. A farmer can be any class, and use any number of skills. The main idea of a farmer though is to be able to fight as many monster as possible, without dying.
3) A tank is a character (usually a warrior), whose job it is to keep the aggro of monsters (have them attack him, instead of casters), and stay alive through the use of defensive skills, such as bonnetti's defense, whirling defense and armor boosting skills like 'Watch Yourself' and Armor of the Earth.
4) Anyone can use minipets (the special items given to characters after their 1st birthday), but Rangers are the only class that can use pets (Creatures found in instanced areas, that fight alongside characters).
5) The market fluxuates, but last I check, I thought it was about 600-700 gold, per vial. A good way to check is to go see what the Dye Merchant is selling it at, and then see what he's buying at, and average the 2 numbers.
