It's completely random.

There is no specific area or enemy that drops dyes at a higher percentage than others.

You can get them anywhere, but they are VERY rare. It's all just luck as to who finds them and where.

Some people have found serveral, some have found none. I've found 2 in the past 3 months; one in pre and one in post.

Some ppl have Lvl 20 characters and swear they've never gotten a single Black Dye drop - and I believe them because it's quite possible.

I played the E3 event, the World Week-end Event, and all but 1 of the Pre-Order week ends which means I started 2 days before retail release and I just got my first Black Dye last week.

I have 15 blacks and more than 50 silvers, So black is harder to fine.

Also, ONLY for Necro armor, it seems if you mix blue and silver, you get black!!!

I've got 1 black dye, got it today. It's in storage... but I doubt I'll ever do anything with it. I just think that black dye on armor is gross. But I might find some armor that black looks great on.. or maybe mix it... hehehe

I have like 10-20 of each other dye in storage as well. When I finally get my 1.5/15/FoW armor I'll be able to dye all the pieces.. wheee... then I need to save up to dye the 1.5/15/FoW armor for my other characters... hehehhee

ROFL, I have had this happen also. I have also found about 10 blk dye. I guess I'm due for another bird crap; time to start wearing hats.

I've found more black than any other.. Pre-Searing when you have to kill the icy elementals to get elemental skills.. just farm that.. I got about 5 blacks and 4 silvers.
