White dyes are 'loot-only' until the traders can build up stocks of them to sell. They start with none. Same for browns.

I said it before and I'll say it again...
The dandy's can at least make their pink at a reasonable cost now.
After all nothing like seeing a bulking male warrior parading around in bright pink obsidian armour trying to get a part as a village ppl extra.

Many of the dye mixes are really screwed up. For instance, Silver, Dye Remover, Silver used to come out as a white color, but now it comes out exactally the same as silver, more or less. Why did the mixes have to be changed? My friend blew a bit of money because he mixed a bunch of white dyes before the update and now they turn out looking bad.
They will have changed any dye-combination which produces a whiteish look, because you can now get white dye drops.

Which just rocks!!! But people will charge 100k to buy them.

Funny how changes shake things up. Why they didn't just leave the dye remover in makes no sense to me.

The other thing that makes no sense to me is why the vials of silver dye look so much like the black ones. I can see the scammers jumping all over this one, trying to pass it off in trades as black. Not a big worry for people who've been around long enough to be wary of trades, but others aren't so saavy about things like that. (Make the silver dye vials look SILVER, is all I'm saying)

Well if you already had Blood Red it still works...just sucks if I find a new armor I like.

I'm glad i dyed my necro armor bright red 1 day before update .
I do hate the not stacking of new and old dyes.
I think a new dye chart is needed .

Should still work with Red instead of Dye Remover. People have been making the same color with Red instead of Dye Remover for a while, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I better go find out though, because my 15k Kurzick is going to look funny with the chest piece not being the blood red...

For some reason my black-dyed straw effigy appears the default color in the inventory screen, but when actually used it's black. Some of my guildies are experiencing similar problems with dyed items, not just dyed armor as discussed in this thread. Is anyone else having this problem? Well regardless I'm sure it will be fixed (I hope)...

same experience with green items that used to be pre-dyed; my monk's Bzzyr's Benediction looks like a normal blue divine symbol in inventory but on my char it's the expected greeny colour

For the past few months, I have had the collectors flame artifact, which is bright orange. I had it died a bluish-grey color, and the image of the flame artifact in my inventory showed the same color. After the update, the actual artifact is still bluish grey, but in inventory, it shows up as orange again. Not a big deal, but something I thought was kind of strange

Before being a forum czar, perhaps you should close the newer thread, you closed the one that was posted FIRST! You should have closed THIS thread.

I just sold all of my hard earned silver dye except 5 vials to the dye trader. The new grey dye with 50g fixed price looks just too damn close to silver to justify paying the 950g for silver that the dye trader is asking for. I expect prices for silver dye to plummet very soon.
