Pre/Post Searing Questions

I just had a few questions relating to Pre/Post Searing Ascalon, that I haven't yet found an answer for while perusing the forum.

First, are any of the other storage bags/belts available in Pre-Searing, aside from the belt pouch? I thought I saw a message that said no, but just wanted to confirm. If they are available - where can I get them. I have asked in-game and haven't gotten a "followable" answer.

Are there items that can be found/bought Pre-Sear that increases storage capacity of the gear?

Are there any places (other than monster drops and trades with players) to find/craft/buy the vials of dye with which to color armor and weapons?

Lastly (for now), when I take one of my characters to Post-Searing, does that affect the game for that character only, or will all my characters now be in Post-Searing?

Thanks!!!

1. yes only the belt pouch.
2. Not that I know of.
3. You can buy dye from a dye dye trade, except black or silver.
4. No, only that character goes.

The location to your answer three is in post-searing. Since all your questions seemed to be pre-searing I bet you're looking for a merchant/crafter/dye trader their and there is not one.

You can buy Black & Silver in post sear from the trader, it's just overpriced (particularly the black dye!)

The first place to get an extra bag is at Frontier Gate. You can get a Scroll of Holding or something of that name in Yaks Bend which will increase this bag by 5 slots. Do the missions to get to each the fastest, I think you get to Frontier after the first mission but might be the second anyway it`s fairly quick. Yaks bend is about 6-7 missions into it.

You can buy other dye besides just Black & Silver from the merchants post-searing. The cost is dependant on the quantities sold over a given period of time by players. Just like crafting materials that can be bought from material merchants. The availability and cost fluctuates dependant on players actions.

Dont forget you can mix dyes to get black and silver...

Thanks for everyone's input - it has been most helpful. I am currently playing Pre-Searing characters as I am the type of person who wants to explore every nook and cranny of a game, so want to find/see everything I can prior to advancing.

In regards to the above quote - are these missions pre- or post-searing?
Thanks again!!
