Got my most recent one on the Holdings of Chokin map in NF, so from an Enchanted Bramble, Whistling Thornbush, Mirage Iboga or Storm Jacaranda. Remember getting one on Melandru's Hope map in Factions, so from a Dragon Moss, Kirin or the bug thingie.

My mes got a black in pre-Sear in Proph off a whiptail devourer.

Those are 3 that I remember specifically, I've gotten a total of 18 iirc, over the past 3 years.

Both my blacks came from Presearing in the Catacombs. I have some weird luck with dye though; I have 5 or more of all the basic colors, 2 whites, and 2 blacks. I'm the only person in my guild to get dye drops, ever, except for one friend- and he got the dye drop while doing quests in Factions with me.

Well, First when wanting a black dye - I am in Pre-Searing - I kill Skales outside of the fort. Then I head to the Northlands.

So to answer your question.

Black Dye from
Spider near Breaton's (Hunter's Ale)
Skales near Ascalon city
Oaks in the Northlands
Grawl in the Northlands.

In the last week i have gotten 5 black dye. As I said i kill lots of stuff first and then head to the northlands. Seems to be good for me

Side note: I have Never gotten a black dye in post EVER.

Last two I remember was a kwerdwulf thing in EotN and a crimson skull guy in HM haiju lagoon.

It's a completely random drop, what's the point of discussing it...?

I remember one particular run when I was 'farming' birthday-cupcakes in pre-searing; 2 White dyes and 2 Black dyes in one 3-minute-round, at the third dye, I went from 'impossible!' to '*eyes-pop-out*.
A memorable day...
The entire weekend was good, I got 8 black dyes and 5 white dyes total in those 5 days of GW-third-birthday. old times...

3. Charr north of Frontier Gate


I think any monster that drops a dye is capable of dropping a black dye or any other color, it's just a matter of luck and percentages.

In my 3 years, and over 2000 hours put into the game, I have 1 Black Dye drop from a Scythe of Chaos in Tombs.

In my 3+ years of play, I've found 15 so far. It's hard to remember where they all came from, but I do know that at least 2 came from Pre-Searing bandits.

For me, it is the white dyes that have been hard to find. Granted, they have only existed in the game for a fraction of the time of black dyes, but to date, I've only found 2 of them.

P.S. If you want to farm dyes, Pre-Searing is one of the best places to do it.

Those are the most recent ones I remember, I know I have had a few more drop but can't remember where.

Edit: reading a previous post I now remember my first black dye drop. It was from an Undead in Nebo Terrace back in early 2006
