== Overview ==
Most loot armor and clothing (and some quest items that have the special property [[Dyeable]]) can be dyed various colors by using cooking skill to apply a prepared dye pot. <br>
For the effects of applying dye to loot-generated armor, see the different types of [[:Category:Loot Armor Type|Armor]].<br>

The process of creating a dye pot requires alchemy skill. Dye plants spawn randomly on the landscape (the plant links below have spawn maps) or are grown by a Herbalist ([[Terese]]). If you give her [[Little Green Seeds]] she will give you a plant in return (Thanamin for Tusker seeds and different colors for seeds dropped by various types of Shreth).

* If you would like to add dyed variations of quest armor and clothing to your page, the [[Template:Dyed Variations]] might be of use.

== Crafting Steps ==
# Crush the dye plant using a [[Mortar and Pestle]]. Difficulty: 150 Alchemy = 50% chance of success.
#* {{Icon Formula|Mortar and Pestle|Argenory Plant|Crushed Argenory Plant}}
#: <font color=green>You crush the plant.</font>
# Use a [[Neutral Balm]] on the crushed plant to create a vial of dye. Difficulty: 200 Alchemy = 50% chance of success.
#* {{Icon Formula|Neutral Balm|Crushed Argenory Plant|Vial of Argenory Dye}}
#: <font color=green>You brew the dye.</font>
# Use the vial of dye with a [[Cooking Pot]] to create a dye pot. Difficulty: 200 Cooking = 50% chance of success.
#* {{Icon Formula|Vial of Argenory Dye|Cooking Pot|Argenory Dye Pot}}
#: <font color=green>You boil the dye.</font>
# Finally, use the dye pot on the item you wish to dye. Difficulty: 230 Cooking = 50% chance of success.
#* {{Icon Formula|Argenory Dye Pot|Undyed Greaves|Dyed Greaves}}
#: <font color=green>You apply the dye.</font>

==== Items that can be Dyed ====
* All [[Loot]] Armor and Clothing. See [[:Category:Loot Armor Type]] for a list of pages with screenshots.
* Quest armor and clothing with the [[Dyeable]] property. See [[:Category:Dyeable]] for a list of these items.
* [[Stamps]]
* [[Flags]]
* [[Shadow Armor]]
* [[Ancient Armor]] can be dyed using [[The Temple of Xik Minru#Items|Pigmentation Apparatus]] obtained through the [[The Temple of Xik Minru]] quest.

==== Fail Dyes ====
It is possible to fail a dye job if your skill isn't high enough. The result can be either a minor failure (color changes to pink for clothing or orange for armor) or a major failure where 20 Armor Value is lost (cannot go below zero). Some people find the fail colors desirable and will purposefully use a low skill chef (cooking must still be trained). The color of plant used doesn't matter.

NOTE: With the addition of [[Tailoring]], it is now possible to safely "fail dye" your armor without the reduction of armor level.

== Notes ==
* Dyeing was introduced during the [[Twilight's Gleaming]] event.
* When first introduced, dye plants were seasonal and only appeared on the landscape during certain months:
** During the [[Twilight's Gleaming]] event, Hennacin, Berimphur and Verdalim plants were available.
** During [[The Child of Daralet]] event, Argenory, Minalim and Lapyan were available.
** During the [[Lost in the New Horizon]] event, Renalim and Colban plants became available. In addition, Thananim also became available with the introduction of [[Terese]] the Herbalist.
* During the [[Should the Stars Fall]] event, [[Ketnan]] began exchanging the three dye plants available at the time for knock-off [[Ketnan#"Hoory" Mattekar Robes|"Hoory" Mattekar Robes]] and Bludgeoning Swords.
* During the [[Betrayal]] event, plants were changed to be no longer seasonal and now appear on the landscape all year round.
