I got my first Black dye after 480h
the second after 590.

You can easily imagine that the 100h in between was not idling aound in low level areas.

But I do know these people firsthand, that find theirs in the tutorial; 3h after buying the game.

Just got a black dye drop yesterday, in pre-searing of course.

Dye drops are much much more common in pre, Spiders near Fort Ranik drop them very often.

I've had at least 8 black dyes drop after 700+ hours played. Most of them dropped in hench teams or while I was pugging; none when I was soloing.

Just got my 37th Green dye yesterday... its funny

All I get is Green most the time, dyes do seem to drop more often in pre-searing, but its too boring farming there.

i was wondering , can you put dyes on it eachother so they stack?

like 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 and so on?

i have never tried it, afraid of losing money if they mixed

Yes you can stack them

you can't apply two colours of the same type to each other. I have a stack of 32 greens and counting. You can't stack different colours on top of each other however

Had 3 black dye drops while in pre-searing. Sold them all when I got to Post-Searing just to get the monies for a new set of armour. Never got a black dye drop since....just greens, silvers and purples.

Keyote · Dec 02, 2005, 10:12 AM // 10:12

4 level 20's and never had a black drop for me but I've seen 3 black dyes drop for others, all of them in underworld.

As far as I can tell the drop rate is much higher on Bladed Aatxes than anything else in the game.

I was going to reply to this yesterday, stating that in 800+ hours I've only had 3 back dyes. Glad I waited. I did Sanctum Cay last night and a Savant dropped one.

cha..ching!

i can't say i have been really lucky while farming but the amount of sliver dye that i pick reguarly is astonising i get about a sliver dye every day, but i have not got a single black dye ever nor any runes of sup vigor or absorbtion or any other sup rune for that mater

i really sould not complain since i farm with hench in gwenths footprint and get lots of greenies.

Makkert · Dec 02, 2005, 01:11 PM // 13:11

Over 1200 hours, 2 dropped.
You don't hear me bickering about it.

Azn D · Dec 02, 2005, 01:37 PM // 13:37

To make you feel not as bad, i've gone over 1600 on 2 accounts with a total of 2 black dyes.

Well I think it's about time you did

After 750 hours of playing, I got my THIRD black dye drop last night.

Alexi Zingforger · Dec 02, 2005, 03:39 PM // 15:39

Over 785 hours I've had 3 black dye drops, one of them from a devourer outside Ascalon City, as I was going on a fart about with my pyromancer.

Why is the game coded to make the most expensive market items drop the least? Surely Arenanet must realise that this causes inflation on these items.

I think you just answered your own question.

Played last night for the first time (spent a lot ot time in SWG so I'm used to MMORPG's) - anyways, was putzing around in pre-searing and got a black dye vile within the first hour.

Ranger luck I guess
