No Black Dye Drop Yet... - Page 9 - Guild Wars Forums

Mister Overhill · Dec 15, 2005, 07:27 PM // 19:27

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.

yesterday I said no black yet but today was the first

I'm no more a "No Black Dye Drop Yet" player ^^

good luck for you all, hope you'll get one soon

Sir Skullcrasher · Dec 17, 2005, 01:11 AM // 01:11

I don't have it drop for me yet!

Pharoke · Dec 17, 2005, 01:19 AM // 01:19

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.

MMSDome · Dec 17, 2005, 05:58 AM // 05:58

i played the game for 2 hours and got a black dye

mattjones527 · Dec 17, 2005, 06:11 AM // 06:11

800+ hours and no black dye drops

CorstedPirate · Feb 05, 2006, 03:09 PM // 15:09

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.

Cjlr · Feb 05, 2006, 03:22 PM // 15:22

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.

Loviatar · Feb 05, 2006, 03:54 PM // 15:54

my best is still the double drop of the BLACK/SILVER followed by the SILVER/SILVER followed by the RED/BLUE

still hoping for that double black someday

Ilythia · Feb 05, 2006, 04:05 PM // 16:05

The most black and silver dye I have seen drop is outside augury farming the griffons.

rice626 · Feb 05, 2006, 07:16 PM // 19:16

I've been playing for a while now and over 8 characters i've only ever gotten one black dye drop in the UW...my bro has gotten around 6 mostly from presearing..

Ghost Recon · Feb 05, 2006, 08:39 PM // 20:39

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.

Anyways, 2 Blacks for my R/Me, none for my Mo/W and N/E

Kool Pajamas · Feb 05, 2006, 08:56 PM // 20:56

Got my 3rd one every a few days ago farming Griffons. My first 2 were in Kryta.

Plague · Feb 05, 2006, 08:58 PM // 20:58

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

Blessed Winds · Feb 05, 2006, 08:59 PM // 20:59

I get at least 5 black dyes a character in presearing =) Maybe you should hunt there...

Keyote · Feb 05, 2006, 09:03 PM // 21:03

980 hours, no black dyes. I've only ever seen 2 drop and neither were for me. No sup absorption either.

Konrow · Feb 05, 2006, 09:36 PM // 21:36

(playing since the game came out (with a 2 month break) and not a single black at all. i think i've seen one drop for smeone else but thats it

Fred Kiwi · Feb 05, 2006, 09:44 PM // 21:44

Back when I was a noob, I found a black dye. When they were worth ??45k. What did I do with it? apply it to my presear armour of course!
