how to make dyes

[Iron Mace]

how do you make the dyes to color your armor and stuff. I have the brush, cookpot mortar/pestle, water skin, and berries.
Do you need an engram or can you just make them...also what is the process for it

you have to have a cooking pot. place 1 waterskin with 20 of the berry that yields that color with a little fire fuel and it should 'poof' 5 uses of dye. It must be a recently filled waterskin btw. haven't gone farther then the basic colors

[Iron Mace]

hmm maybe my water skin wasnt recent enough then tried the yellow berries and didnt get anything but il try again thanks

[Okim]

Thanks for the info. Was trying to figure that out myself, but failed thus far.

Does not work for me.

Where do you get special recipes? Drops ?

[Larai]

You need charcoal for the dye to be made.

5 berries + I think 3 charcoal + water skin which is I *think* at least 25% full = dye.

Just to clarify and summarize:

- You must use a cooking pot.
- 15 berries of the single color you want to make, or 9 of each color to combine.
- 2 charcoal.
- A _FULL_ waterskin.
- Wood ofcourse.

So for example, if you want to make purple dye, you put 9 red, and 9 blue berries, 2 charcoal, 1 full waterskin and some wood in the cooking pot and light it up.

Does pink exist? can you make it with red and white?

[Okim]

Always was 20 berries of one kind or 10 berries of two kinds each + full water for me.

Never required any charcoal.

Nope. Pink does not exist yet.

you do require charcoal to make dye, but since there's a fire going on, you'll get some charcoal from the burning of wood itself...

but that slows you down, so you'll want to add some previously created charcoal made in other fire sources.

another point to me made, if you have a none working mix of colors in the pot, it wouldn't make any dye at all.
so if you want red dye, make sure its the only berries in the pot.
