Black dye farming.

You get a big mob of Charr if you do Nolani and just go straight to the gate, open 'er up and let in the horde. As far as dyes go, they are random, they'll drop anywhere, you just need to be solo and kill a lot of critters.
You may be better off just farming the gold and buying it though, which I believe was a point already made.

Actually, yes. Been there, done that. The amount of undead does increase quite a bit. I'd say about 2x as much.

Gates of Kryta does drop a lot of dye but its all random and if she is getting 2 black a day then more power to her.
But......
120k a day farming Gates of Kryta, wow
Unless she does it 23.5 hours a day out of the 24 hours I do not see it happening.

^ I think your friend is exaggerating or she doesn't just farm Gates of Kryta, because if it is ~1k a run and 1-2 black dyes in a day that doesn't add up to 120k, unless she only gets like 2 hours of sleep in a day.
Black Dye is a random drop, but I have noticed that it seems to drop more in low level areas of the game. I have only had like 2 or 3 drop for me so far in GW. One was in pre and the others were in Fort Ranik and some other Ascalon mission. I think you would be better off just farming trolls or vermin to make 2-3k a run and just buy the dye when you make enough money.

If a run takes 5 minutes then she could plausibly do it in 10 hours, not counting the dyes. You also have to take the farm code into consideration, so I would say 11-12 hours without counting the dyes.
I also for some reason seem to get my fair share of black dyes in front of post-searing Ascalon, and outside of Serenity Temple.

this is not possible :]
the best place in gw for dyes is presear , in my experience the drop rates of all dyes are about twice as much in pre as they are in post.

Did the run twice last night (died horribly the other twice that I tried it - Not enough minions for MM to survive).
Anyway. Considering that I have only had 2 Black Dyes drop for me in the last year of playing, I got one on my second run.
So maybe there is something in all this.
Takes me 20 to 25 minutes to complete the circular run, and I make around 1.5k, plus a load of materials (avarage 150 bones per run, plus others).
On top of this, there was the dye (9.5k)
So I got about 13k, plus around 2k of materials. Not too bad for an hour's work.
Makes a nice change from either hydras or Ettins, anyway. This is much more difficult/interesting for a MM.

Okay!
Since everybody THINKS that blacks drop more in pre, I have only one thing to say - You don't have to think! It's true. And there is a perfectly normal explanation! and here it is:
In pre-searing it's a LOW-lvl. area. That means that only "LOW-lvl." drops can drop. (You get me?) Dye is "low" so they can drop.
Other stuff like rare materials and rare items (Black dye is NOT "rare") CAN'T drop in pre.
So now we got fewer items that can drop. (Get the point?) That increases the drop rate (TYPO!)
Hope this will stop all of you from thinking "Maybe"
