i'm fairly new to this game and i just looted a black dye earlier on, some people in my group told me this is worth 4000-5000g. Were they pulling my chain or is this true?

You find them post searing (after you pass through the acadamy) , in all major towns .
Its worth hanging onto them until you pass throught the acadamy same for silver dyes

Silver dye price is holding steady at 850g at traders, so you can sell it for about 700g, whereas, black dye prices are fluxuating lately. At the moment, you can sell black dye for 7k.

My son ended up with 2 silver drops very soon after he begun playing.
I was in bed when one drop happened the conversation went

son - "I got a silver dye"
me shouting out as I leapt from my bed- "dont do anything with it , dont touch it"
son- "oops"

he had used it on his first warrior armour (he is only 9 and knows different now )

*slaps forehead* You're right! I was going by my rickety old memory. I was around when it was around that price. I unloaded a bunch of black dye arouond that time.

My first ever dye was a black from the worms that pop up and down. Can't remember what i did with it though. At that time (a week or so after release), they sold for 1k...which was considered great.

My total black dye count to date is approximately 20 ish.

Yeah i recall the days of black dye costing 1k-1.2k back after the game was released, and thought that was a lot...and then since them its steadily gone up in value.

wen i started playing black dyes were worth 24k.

i regretted selling my black dye to merhcant when i reliased how much it was worth at ascalon city at the dye trader.

I have picked up 5 black dyes in my total playing time (bout 800 hours), and seen 10-12 picked up by a member in my party.

I have myself, although they were sucky dyes, gotten a triple:

Orange, Orange, and Green. all on one mission, the fort ranik one.

Unfortunately they didn't amount to a whole lot..so I just keep them to mix with others for cool colors.

You have had THAT MANY?! Man, with that you could do a full theatre in black. Rofl.

How'd you get that much? I know those weren't all dropped. Used them as a trade currency?
