One of my guildies was talking about somewhere you can farm in pre, where its possible to get a stack of black dyes (250), in 1 - 2 hours. He's not lying either, he doesn't seem like the type who would lie. It's a specific kind of monster, only found in this "secret" spot. But he wouldn't tell a single person where it is. So I'm going to look into this, and i will find out. if anyone of you have heard of this, please contribute, and search in pre, everywhere, and help find it. I WILL FIND OUT. I'll search pre head to toe if i have to.

No offense, but without a screen shot or anything to prove it... He's lying.

I can guarantee that no monster drops black dyes that often unless it is some kind of exploit.

15 stacks? You do realize thats 3750 black dyes in pre, right? I'm not even sure if the freaking dye trader has that many. It is duping for sure, if he even has that much.

How did the show 15 stacks btw? You cannot add that much in trade window... He could have been recycling those, but i think you lie.

I'll tell you what, if he really does have 3750 black dyes, that is worth one hell of a lot. Using the current price of 5.5k per black dye in pre, that's 20.635 million gold. If he then sells that gold for post gold, using the current exchange ratio of 1:1.5, that's 30.9525 million gold. Quite an impressive number.

However, I think he's taking the piss.

What is this concept of "pre gold" and "post gold?" I have never heard of it and as far as I know there is no multiplier on gold in inventory when you go through the searing. Other than that, I s'pose we can all just have fun and dupe like mad.

It's something made up by players, like ectos as currency.
Usually 1.5 X pre to post.

This sypherious guy has made several other attention seeking threads (one complaining about how protective spirit didn't stop life stealing and another one he made about how he flew into a rage whenever a girl pwned him in RA lol) so I think that it is safe to conclude that this guy is just a glory seeker and this is a load of bull.

I realize that gold pieces in pre and post have different implied values, however, what does one do to take the higher implied value in pre and turn it into an equivalent amount of gold in post?

You find someone to buy your pre gold for post gold. If he refuses to hand over the post gold first, on the grounds that you could be a scammer (only you really know if you are or not), then you can find a trusted, impartial moderator to hold both party's stuff, and ensure that one person won't run off with the other's gold.

Yeah, we've heard of sarcasm, and what you posted was not sarcasm. It wasn't even remotely funny or sarcastic, mostly just stupid.


Mods close pl0x.

IF it's true, the guy's using an exploit.

I've been everywhere (and by "everywhere" I mean "ran the walls of every single spot") in Pre and have never, ever gotten a black dye. I'm sure many, many more people have done the same thing. So if such a place exists, it would have been discovered a long, long time ago and the word would already be out about it.

Q: Five dollar in Albania can buy me a whole dinner, with some nice wine, but in the US it'd barely buy me a burger. How can I maintain the value of the dollars I have in Albania when I move to the US?
A: You don't. You either stay in Albania a rich man among poor people, or go to the US and become a poor man among rich people.

As for black dyes in pre, they do drop there, and lots of people used to have a thriving business tricking new players out of their black dye (by paying 50 times more than the merchant, ie 50 gold, for it) then move the black dye to post-searing and rake in the profit. Back then it wasn't that unusual to see scammers/shrewd dye traders in pre which had very large amounts of black dye, all bought from newbie players.

I suppose it isn't impossible there's still some guy with a lot of black dye lingering in pre-sear, even though there no longer is a flood of newbie players to prey on, and who decided to prank the gullible OP.

Yea seriously, use common sense, unless its a bug or anything of that sort, WHY WOULD anet create a specific monster that drops black dyes THAT often, unless they wanted to crash the black dyes' price, which I believe is quite reasonable(6k, not too much, not too little).

So yeah, unless you can upload the screenshot WITH the monster(s) in the background there is absolutely no way that people will believe your friend(and you), because it-doesn't-make-any-frigging-sense. If you believe your friend THAT much, be my guest, have fun searching for something that's not there in the begging. And by the way, I'm right, try to prove me wrong.

Good Luck.

if anything, you could always try out the catacombs outside the barrin estate, and jus keep zoning in back and forth killing the gargoyles in there, they have a pretty high chance of droping dye's, just keep doing it enough and you'll get stacks of dyes
