I've read countless articles talking about a lot of expensive dyes in pre-searing Ascalon and the fortune many have been making out of them.
Enough with all the blabber, heh... here's my question:
Which spawns are most-likely to drop the expensive silver and black dyes in Pre-Searing?
I was told Bandits... but I'm unsure.
Dye Farming in Pre-Searing Ascalon

Lol, farming in Pre-Searing is not great, but if you REALLY think you can make a fortune off of it...killing Charr I have gotten like 2 Black Dye drops and 5 Silver Dye drops. Farming is slow though IMO and I was just killing them for XP.
Mournblade
I got most of my dye drops from the elementals in the southwest "snowy" area of pre-searing. (Can't recall the name, sorry!)
Mr D J
Make a smiter, go down to catacombs, own Restless Corpses and restart, I got around 50 dyes from them in 3 days
Jiao Yang
I have got lots from the bandits outside Ashford.. including 2 blacks.
Olfin Bedwere
I farmed the Skale and Bandits outside Fort Ranik and when that got slow, the Bandits East of Bardon Estates. There are merchants at both places so you can sell your stuff when you get full.
lorderich
You've all been very helpful! Thanks a lot!
Silent Kitty
I farmed more than 100K in pre. And really, with allot of patience, it doesn't matter where you do it.

.As for the black dye, the bandits are the only ones I have ever gotten a black dye from. I never really farmed though, I just got lucky I guess
Maxiemonster
Farm stuff that actually makes you rich, please. You get something like 1 Black dye each 5 hours of farming, you could get a Black dye in 30 minutes farming if you're in post.
Olfin Bedwere
Well, I don`t know about that. I`ve yet to get a Black dye in post. I got 2 in Pre and about 10 Silver. I`ve yet to see a Silver in post. Maybe just my bad luck but I`ve solo farmed my Cuirass off.

Aaahh, well it`s early and I haven`t had my coffe yet.

Well... I believe its all random drops. However, I've seen people with over 100 dye of every color and 100k in pre sear. My suggestion- don't waste too much time trying to get a whole lot of dye. It would be a better use of time to play the game and get some weapon with good mods that is worth more than a bunch of dye.

nope.i got a black at 19 minutes from a scale while getting fins for the belt pouch trade.
Silent Kitty
And I got black dyes from killing gargoyles in the catacombs. At least 5 of them, the last 4 months

EDIT: although it may be hard to outbid the guys who got millions in gold and items in from post-searing before the transfer-in-guildhall exploit got fixed, and whom are now using it to hoard black dye. You may have missed the black dye scam boat.

I found my bfirst black dye 20 mins into my first char, and I was all like "Woooo now I have Black Start Bow!!!!!" (thinking to self I was fairly 1337-tastic.
Got to post searing and :-O They are worth how much, I definatly cried on the inside, alot.
Dyes drop randomly from any enemy the only reason they show up more in pre-searing it seems is because there is less possible stuff to drop, theres what, 10 of each weapon type if your lucky, maybe more, lets just say theres 100 different things that can drop in pre-searing, if there are like (sumthing like) 8 dyes or so, i forget the exact number of colours, then that means every 8/100 kills you can expect a dye pretty much.
Ok they arnt the numbers, but you can imaging that post-searing as several thousands of droppables, and you get the picture.

My guidie said he got 2 Silver Dyes from one Firestorm...not sure what he was fighting though. I might start it up again ^^. Tried it and got crap.

I farmed trolls and got the "if you overfarm the drops rate lessens" help window pop up. Or whatever it said, so far 3 black dyes and a ton of silver after and before window popped up.

dyes drop randomly and they drop from any creeps. i have found dyes from scale fins in pre to mountain trolls to char to ettins. its really all random. hence the best place to farm dyes is a spot where there are lots of creeps, my personal favourite, mountain trolls outside droks in talus chute. almost each run i get one dye, sometimes more.
