I've had them drop anywhere from a Devourer in Frontier Gate [my first], to an Undead Wizard in Shards of Orr [my latest]

1 from a charr in GW:EN, and a white dropped right next to it. Was pretty pumped.

I only remember the areas.

- Post-searing Ascalon, low-level. Might have been The Great Wall mission.
- 55 farming outside of Bergen Hot Springs (got two black dyes doing that)
- Perdition rock while running skill caps for people
- Varajar Fells during HM Norn farm
- Hell's Precipice mission

I have had them drop from a variety of monsters. Most recent was from a Roaring Ether in NF, but I have had them from a variety of things. About 5 or so in total.

Most of mine came from pre, when I 'attempted' a perma pre character.

I'm pretty sure I've had one or two from the insects in Kourna aswell.

In 2.5 years I've had around 40 black dye drops. The only monsters I can recall that have never dropped a dye of any type were aloe seeds and wurms in pre-searing. I've gotten dyes - including blacks - from every other type of monster in pre-, plus various monsters in all three campaigns. Missions, quests, farming, normal mode, hard mode, whatever - basically, as far as I can tell, any monster that can drop dye can drop black dye, and that's pretty much every monster in the game.

Stone summit... Stone summit... Stone summit...

Yup all of my black dye drops have come from Stone Summit guys (north and south shiverpeaks). I seem to be lucky where black dye drops are concerned, I got quite a few in a short time when the prices were high. I don't get so many nowdays though.

First ever was from a level 1 Grawl in pre-Searing.

Recently, as in within the last two months, I've gotten one from a low level Kappa on Shing Jea island and two from Raptor Nestlings (one on two runs right in a row... that was exciting).

It seems that the lower (starter) areas are better for all dyes.

In my experience, it's not the area. It's the time of day.

I've gotten superior vigors recently as well. Not all the time of course, but I'd say two in the last 3 months or so, one I got and sold just this last week.

with my ranger I get plenty of Black Dye drop for three years of playing - 7 pieces of black dye, from various enemies. with my other characters, only with my Rt - Margonite in ss/lb farm Remains of Sahlahja, and with my Assassin, just outside the Shing Jea Monastery. Strange thing that was my very young characters. Funny I never get black dye with Monk, Elementalist, Necromancer and Warrior, whose all three years old... ?

How shocking that one of my threads would be brought back from the dead.

I can name another enemy killed that dropped a Black Dye for me: Stone Reaper in the mission Arborstone.

Ya really. Personally I've only used it on my eles 15k canthan, along with a blue and purple.

On topic: I got one UW farming the other day with my mes, and another during Gyala Hatchery, the last mission I needed for Protector of Cantha. That was a good day.
