I've been playing GW for 2 months and only ever received 2 black dye drops (both near ice caves). My questions is, is there particular spots that have better odds of black dye drops? or is it completely random?

Thanks!

pre-sear is *rumored* to be a good drop spot for black dye, i think its because it has the same number of drops but a smaller area to cover, so it drops more frequently.

At least you got 2 of them. My first character got a black dye drop in pre-searing and that was over 4 months ago. A few characters later and countless hours of gameplay later I am yet to pickup a second black dye drop. Like the other guy said...just keep plugging away because that's all you can do.

Thanks, I figured as much, but just seemed odd that both drops were in same location.

the reason presear gets more dyes according to rumor is that purple/gold drops get dyes instead.

several people have gotten double dye drops as well. my best were

black/silver
silver/silver
blue/red

and not a double drop more in 6 months

I got my first black dye drop SEVEN months & about 800 hours into the game! I've had 7 or 8 since then, so frequency per player is random, too.

A RL friend of mine who just started playing a few weeks ago got one pre searing in his first week. But i think its better to get one when you're experienced, as he sold his to the merchant for a gargantuan 1g.
