Dyeing
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.
For the effects of applying dye to loot-generated armor, see the different types of Armor.
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 a random color for Shreth seeds).

- 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 Betrayal event, plants were no longer seasonal and now appear on the landscape all year round.

Failures
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.
