Alot of people in Nightfall had it because they bought it at dye trader. Nothing else to do with the cash.

Do vermin runs or try undead hordes quest those two are ok but i know for sure you'll get more dye from vermin runs.

Yeah i didn't really hear anything about anyone getting alot of black drops in nightfall. I'm not specifically looking for just black dye either, i want to get any dye drops so I have a nice stockpile by the 27th, so any advice on a good farmin spot would be great.

Outside senji's corner.
Use one of these two W/mo builds and its easy.
Cyclone axe
Triple Chop
Bonneti's
Dolyak sig
Healing Breeze/"I will Survive"
Live Vicariously
Vigorous Spirit
Mending

or pretty much run the same build only with glad's deffense instead of triple chop.

You can also go Rt/Me with the vengeful build
Archane Echo
Vengeful was .....
Vengeful Weapon
Sympathetic Visage
Channeling
physical Resistence
(im pretty sure thats the jist of the vengeful build I run it on a factions only account so i really only use echo, vengeful was, vengeful weapon

Since the beginning of the game every black dye drop I've gotten came from a skale.

So far I've found 25 black dyes by farming skales.

Best place is where you can kill lots of things fast. Heart of Holy Flame and Mystic Sweep/Eremite's Attack work well in the GoK mission with all the undead. Or a Sandstorm bomber for instects in Arkjok. Got 2 whites and a black from those guys already farming sunspear points.

I swear it's Wintersday / Ressurect Old Threads Again week.

Guys, give up. Dye Drops are random. Pre-Sear dye drops are increased due to the small loot table they have. Farm there if you want dye.
