I'm happy.

On my other character, I got a brown and a green last night. My team member got two drops in one battle!

Other characters? Team member?

1 ranger with barrage + plains of jarin = 12 dyes and counting

seriously just keep wondering round the plains on your own they drop like crazy on there

Plus you can collect Sentient Seeds and trade one for a salvage or ID kit. I didn't know otherwise I wouldn't have sold the 63 or however many I had from Halloween farming. I woulda traded them for the kits and gave them away at Piken Square, Shing Jea, and other places with new gamers.

I've been going for 2 days now and 0...zero...nada...nothing...zip...

So am I farming in the wrong areas? sounds like noob island is the place. I was hoping to continue on with the story...guess I can go back.

OMG, I played 5 hours yseterday, and 4 hours tonight - still 0 dyes. I can't be that unlucky, can I?

FTW! i had no idea. guess i should be paying more attention. its not like ive merched ~100 since nf was released

I would assume the number of dye drops you get correlates with what you're doing. Like me for example, I'm really not going to notice this weekend becuase of the lower level of my character. Thus me having to bring heores and/or henchies.

And because of that, I've had one dye drop. But somebody that brings their Tyrian/Canthan lvl 20 over will probably be able to plow through the mobs quicker, thus getting more dye drops.

Zolderick · Nov 05, 2006, 06:51 AM // 06:51

I got hardly any dyes and I've played heaps in Nightfall. I still don't see how the double dye drop weekend is beneficial at all

Jeff Highwind · Nov 05, 2006, 07:02 AM // 07:02

Did Chest runs in Vabbi today and got 6 dyes.
1 red
1 blue
1 purple
2 orange
1 green

And developers take part in their own events? Crazy.

Hyper Cutter · Nov 05, 2006, 07:20 AM // 07:20

I laid waste to the Plains of Jarin twice (read: killed anything that moved) and got 5 dyes: an orange, a green, and three purples.

I didn't even bother picking up the purples, as they're not worth enough to bother selling and I don't use it myself...

BeXoR · Nov 05, 2006, 07:34 AM // 07:34

Up until Friday I was getting 4 or 5 dyes a day, just playing through storyline and missions. The people I played with were getting cranky because so many were dropping for me. Since the weekend came into effect I haven't gotten a single dye. (And neither have they).

Kyosuke · Nov 05, 2006, 07:54 AM // 07:54

12+ hours of gameplay today and i got "1" dye.. a green one all day..

GG Anet... as usual with this stuff. Looks like you screwed up somewhere. I get better Dye drops any other day of the week than this supposed extra weekend.... meh..... :/

Feminist Terrorist · Nov 05, 2006, 09:07 AM // 09:07

I ran my Dervish around, exploring and killing everything last night and again tonight. Different areas, both times. I got 1 purple, last night, and 1 brown, tonight. Approx. 8 hours in total.

To those of you who don't even bother picking them up, please do so. You could make some new person very happy. Or even just someone who wants lots of dye because they're really not sure what color to dye their Dervish's armor.

Gen Saver · Nov 05, 2006, 09:28 AM // 09:28

i got about 3 browns, 3 oranges, 2 reds, 2 blue's, 2 yellows and a silver

Beau Nolan · Nov 05, 2006, 01:58 PM // 13:58

Well day 3...and NOW I have finally recieved 1 dye, a yellow. *Blah* I thought this was gonna be a good weekend.

Kelsey Cain · Nov 05, 2006, 02:06 PM // 14:06

solo run outside champions dawn - kill the plants, the termites and the 2 drakes - been doing it on and off since the weekend began and have had

2 black
2 white
5 silver
lots of coloured dyes

The drakes almost always drop either drake chunks or blue armour.

darksage78 · Nov 05, 2006, 02:51 PM // 14:51

4 hours starting off in Nightfall last night and no dye drop at all

Is this really what was supposed to happen?

FalconDance · Nov 05, 2006, 02:55 PM // 14:55

Well, personally I *love* orange and purple dye -- purple + grey yields a lovely shade on warrior Istani armor -- but sadly I've only had 4 dye drops in the week I've had NF! And that's with three characters combined!

Maybe I should be farming and not questing if I want dye drops(?) Sounds as if that's what may trigger them.

titan0987 · Nov 05, 2006, 03:17 PM // 15:17

well my computer is in the shop till monday, no dyes for me, i also missed halloween thanks to the amazing people at anet that couldnt explain the error i was getting
