Armor Dyes

[Falcolas]

What I have found so far.

All items you need are on a vendor in the lighthouse in the new zone off stonebrunt.

Each component (there's 4) costs about 10pp each.

Two needed combines, one pottery (trivial to me at 113) and one brewing/alchemy (trivial to me at 203).

These are NOT no-fail combines.

[Dalestrider]

Trival on brewing part is <88

[Nuking Tree]

Can you believe people are reselling the dyes for 100pp in the bazaar right now? And people are buying them up fast.

[Fuelman]

We got Player Pics yet?

So, how many monks/rouges have dyed their entire body black or some other color? would love to see some pics on actual players... especially the new froggies...

With a couple of opal steins, I can buy all the components for just under 30pp. My brewing is 200, so naturally I usually fail on firing the vials. *shrugs* I spent a good deal of time playing with the tenting before I used my dyes. My druid is in all dark green leather, except for his wrists and his feet, which have metallic looking armor and have a silvery, slightly off yellow color. The effect if really nice.

One disadvantage to this is that because you are dying your slots and not your armor, you will also dye any exposed skin. My wood elf leather tunic has a low cut front, exposing part of his chest and shoulders. That skin is now also dark green. On well, nothing’s perfect.

I made a few batches of dies last night and sold them for 60pp each. Except for my failures, I was getting double my money back. And at 200 brewing my failures weren’t too bad. I had very little cash to start with, so I couldn’t make many at a time. But my last batch was of 20 and of those I failed firing two of the vials, I failed one combine of prismatic dye and I failed one combine of the vial of prismatic dye. I would have made more to sell, but it was two in the morning and I had to get up for work in three hours. If the demand is still hight tonight I may try it again.

Dyes

I don't find it unusual someone is trying to sell something for a profit already. Its a tradeskill. For those that don't want to spend time learning those skills up high enough to be able to do the combines. I say we charge them a fair amount. Supply and demand will reduce those prices down to a reasonable price.

about 100~150pp on RN for vials

[Zaephod]

I've been selling them all night. The price went from 55plat when i sold my first batch to 45 where I am selling them now. I started with a little over 2K to work with and will have over 4K when i finish selling what is currently on my trader. Prices on our server plummeted pretty quick but have held steady at what I would consider a fairly reasonable price (I think 55 was better but we can't have everything now can we? )

My server has a lot of greedy folks. At first, they were selling for 200 apiece, then dropped to the 100pp "standard", while someone in ooc was saying "I've seen them for 25pp" just to rile folks. They're now more or less stable-ish in the 45-50pp range.

[Zacatac]

When I first logged in last night, somebody was /auc selling dye vials for 200pp. I went and made my own of course. I'm sure once they get prices at 50pp each, most people will gladly buy them rather than waste time making their own. You only need 7 at the most to get a full suit. I'm a caster and I only have 3 slots visable, my bard has 6 (non-visable helms).

[sir0die]

I was selling them on Inny server for 100p each or complete set of 7 for 500p. Other folks were trying to get 150p and even a few selling at 200p each.


with an initial invesment of 2k i had a return of 5.5k.

not bad for 40 minutes of combines and 2 hours of auctioning them in Nexus and POK.



of course the profit will just be sunk into 1 of mhy many tradeskills.

[krunt]

yeah im a bad guy too

Yep when i first logged on yesterday my "guild" (only realy 6 people in the guild, more of my regular group) shaman allready bought a few stacks of the stuff to make dyes. So we sat down and made some, just as we were getting down to dyeing someone /oocs "Anyone have any dies for sale"? Well we respond and they offer 1k for 7 dyes.

Now at this point we take allook at our guild bank, in debt for 10k, and suddenly think, hey lets sell these things. We spent the next 2 hours selling dyes, could have gone longer but we got kinda bored. Made between 10-15k proffit.

I have no idea why they were buying dyes from us. Guess some people have too much plat. Occasionaly people would ask how me made them so they could make there own, we told them. Some people thought the price was too steep, we told them to wait a day or two, price will drop to 50p. In most of these casses people said, well, ill just by 1 ( or 2, or 4) instead of waiting a day or doing it themselves.

Yeah its crazy to sell something that isn't farmed, and has low trivs, for 200% component cost, let alone up to 500% component cost, but they were buying em.

[Gnastassja]

Folks were selling them at 50p on the average (FV server) last night... they were selling like hotcakes. I decided to pass on purchasing since sooner or later I'll get around to making my own for friends and family. Considering the travel-time and combine efforts (minimal I hear), 50p sounded more than fair.

[sir0die]

Well, there's one way to look at it. I spent my time and plat to be able to make them. I KNOW how to make them and HAVE them in hand to give you.

If you'd rather spend 800+p and about 6 hours to get the skills to make them yourself. go ahead. save yourself the 70p each from buying them from me. First of all, I HAVE BOTH THE SKILL AND THE KNOWLEGE to make them, they don't.

I'd like to see you tell your auto mechanic that you could do just as good a job and cheaper to rebuild you transmission.



I wasn't being stingy, but anyone who asked me how it was made, i refered them to eqtraders.com. After all, i spent my time to learn where things were, and how to combine them. I wasn't going to just spit out the recipie right there, so he/she could make them and possibly undercut me.


Everyone here knows that the money is in the new stuff, so, learn it and sell it. once it stablizes at around 50p like someone predicts, then ask me for recipie, i'll give it to ya.

I just learned something interesting about tenting our armor slots. There’s a way to fix the problem of tinting your skin. I’m sure its old news to many of you, but I’d never heard of it. Just type /dopropertinting on. You may have to zone a couple of times before you’ll see the results, but it works. My druid no longer has a dark green chest. And I found out for the first time that there are slits up the sides of his tunic. Its color used to be so close to his flesh tone that I never noticed it.
