Dyeing
Dyeing Fur
Available from the first moment you enter Saliko Village, Alexandra Gibson gives the unique option to change your fur color. This is done by adjusting your base color (hue), ink, dye and bleach.
- Ink makes your fur color darker, while bleach makes it lighter.
- Last is the "Dye", which is the actual fur color which you're modifying. The more dye, the more powerful you're making the base color while the less dye means a weaker color.
- Bleach and ink counteract each other - a bleach of 50 and a ink result in the same darkness as if you left both values at 0.
While you can type a larger number than 100 (or a smaller than 0) in the various boxes, they are clamped to 0-100.
Cost
The cost of dying your fur is 55.7 silver per level (rounded down), increasing linearly from 55 silver for level 1, to 18 gold and 93 silver at level 34.
Dyeing Equipment
Dyeing equipment is often never out of demand in Paw'd, especially when other players pass off their trending colors. The ability to dye equipment has to be unlocked through a series of quests, beginning with Richard in Ashaya Village.
- Help solve his quests between him and Andy in regards to his needle shortage for sewing. This involves the quest line starting at "Tailored Help", "In Need of Needles", and ends at "Needles Troubles".
- The quest line will continue further to the quest "Stix and Stones...", which takes you back to Coren located in the map A Small Cave In the High Plains. With this quest, you require a group of players in order to do the Stix trial, which you can queue for manually through Coren (to other players they would find the Stix and Stones trial in their Battle tab).
Notes
Not all equipment is dyeable. An equipment has to be labeled "Dyeable" in order for it to be actually dyed. Next, you need the actual dye items, which are not too hard to find. Uncommon colors are sometimes sold from players in the Auction House, or can be found by defeating certain monsters across (Emeraldscale Lizard, Living Diamond, Living Coal, Nightbloom Lizard, etc). After helping Richard with some quests, he will open his dye shop, which sells a variety of common color dyes for 50 silver each. Helping Yvi with a few quests will unlock access to her tent, as well as her shop, selling a special Bleaching Dye for 10 gold. While Yvi only sells one other purple dye (Nightsky Dye), Frostbell in the Timeless Waters (located southern most portal to the east in the Forest of Illusion, west of Temple of Trials) sells a variety of purple dyes for several common materials.
You cannot combine multiple dyes on a single piece of equipment. You can only select one dye for that equipment, and it becomes your current. Each equipment has their unique set of blended colors (part of their design) that will dramatically impact the dye's ability to recolor the equipment, therefore a dye that would have the color you want for that equipment may not be actually true. After dyeing, you cannot return the colors of that equipment to it's default, however you can dye it in a similar color that it was in previously.
Guild Tabard Change
Similarly to your fur, a guild leader can also change the dye of their guild's tabard at Alexandra, as well as its logo. Changing the guild tabard dye costs 10 gold. Changing the logo displayed on your guild tabard is free, however when you update it, other adventurers may still see the old logo for a day or two, before it is removed from cache.
