i'm fairly new to this game and i just looted a black dye earlier on, some people in my group told me this is worth 4000-5000g. Were they pulling my chain or is this true?

EagleEye33 · Nov 24, 2005, 05:29 PM // 17:29

no there not u can get a good shiny penny with that

. The trader is pretty high with black dye. Last I saw ppl were selling around 6-7k cause trader was at 8k. Black dye dont come around often for ppl, so yea its something

goober1973 · Nov 24, 2005, 05:29 PM // 17:29

Very true. As of last night the merchant was selling it for 8500g.

Xue Yi Liang · Nov 24, 2005, 05:35 PM // 17:35

at the very peak of its demand it could be sold for 16k+

You find them post searing (after you pass through the acadamy) , in all major towns .
Its worth hanging onto them until you pass throught the acadamy same for silver dyes

lucky drop for someone who just started playing

briando · Nov 24, 2005, 06:13 PM // 18:13

Silver dye price is holding steady at 850g at traders, so you can sell it for about 700g, whereas, black dye prices are fluxuating lately. At the moment, you can sell black dye for 7k.

My son ended up with 2 silver drops very soon after he begun playing.
I was in bed when one drop happened the conversation went

son - "I got a silver dye"
me shouting out as I leapt from my bed- "dont do anything with it , dont touch it"
son- "oops"

he had used it on his first warrior armour

(he is only 9 and knows different now

)

*slaps forehead* You're right! I was going by my rickety old memory. I was around when it was around that price. I unloaded a bunch of black dye arouond that time.

Tactical-Dillusions · Nov 24, 2005, 09:54 PM // 21:54

My first ever dye was a black from the worms that pop up and down. Can't remember what i did with it though. At that time (a week or so after release), they sold for 1k...which was considered great.

My total black dye count to date is approximately 20 ish.

DarkSider84 · Nov 24, 2005, 10:02 PM // 22:02

Yeah i recall the days of black dye costing 1k-1.2k back after the game was released, and thought that was a lot...and then since them its steadily gone up in value.
