Dyes

Dyes are items that can be placed in the Dye Slots of a player's Inventory to alter the colors of worn Armor or Vanity Items. Dyes and Dye Slots were introduced in the 1.2 update.

To craft dye from raw materials one has to buy the Dye Vat (5 gold) from the Dye Trader NPC. Silver Dye (1 gold) is the only dye available for purchase from the Dye Trader. The primary dye crafted from materials can be further combined to craft shades and patterns.
