*UPDATED* 13 Sep 2013
This entry was almost ALL wrong due to my stupidity. At one point while dragging the pics around arranging the order, I put the map screenshot 1 slot wrong, so everything down the line was also 1 spot wrong, making most of the info mismatched. Now I have corrected it all. My sincere apology to every of my readers who had gotten the wrong information and was probably confused and unable to find the items. Terribly sorry. ><;;
———————————————-
Okie dokie, instead of spamming my mouse trying to log in, waiting for a miracle to be placed on queue, I would rather do something informative and compile some info I’ve gotten from playing around with the new dyes. I really like that they added more of the new colors for armor/clothes dye system. These “new” dyes cannot be bought from vendor NPC or shop stalls like Dyemonger in Limsa or Independent Merchant in Ul’dah, but have to be crafted using level 30 recipe of any of the crafting class. The ingredient to make a pot of dye is one color pigment and 2 crystals. The element of the crystals required depends on your crafting class.
I’ve been going around to use my Disciples of the Land: Botanist and Miner, to gather all of the available pigments. There are 7 colors of pigment, and they can be crafted into 13 colors of dye in total.
The pigments and gather spots are as follows:
————————————————————————————
Blue Pigment: Grouped with Water Crystal.
Method: Logging (Botanist, main hand)
Location: Eastern La Noscea – Bloodshore
————————————————————————————
Blue Pigment: Grouped with Water Crystal.
Method: Quarrying (Miner, off hand)
Location: Western Thanalan – Nophica’s Wells
————————————————————————————
Green Pigment: Grouped with Wind Crystal.
Method: Logging (Botanist, main hand)
Location: Central Shroud – Bentbranch
————————————————————————————
Green Pigment: Grouped with Wind Crystal.
Method: Quarrying (Miner, off hand)
Location: East Shroud – Nine Ivies
————————————————————————————
Grey Pigment: Grouped with Ice Crystal.
Method: Logging (Botanist, main hand)
Location: South Shroud – Upper Paths
————————————————————————————
Grey Pigment: Grouped with Ice Crystal.
Method: Quarrying (Miner, off hand)
Location: Western La Noscea – Quarterstone
————————————————————————————
Purple Pigment: Grouped with Lightning Crystal.
Method: Logging (Botanist, main hand)
Location: Central Thanalan – Spineless Basin
————————————————————————————

————————————————————————————
Red Pigment: Grouped with Fire Crystal.

Location: Easthern Thanalan – Wellwick Wood
————————————————————————————
Yellow Pigment and Brown Pigment: Grouped with Earth Crystal.
Method: Logging (Botanist, main hand)
Location: North Shroud – Peacegarden
————————————————————————————

Method: Quarrying (Miner, off hand)
Location: Lower La Noscea – Cedarwood
There are 6 elements of Crystals but there are 7 colors of pigments. With Earth Crystal, both the Yellow Pigment and Brown Pigment stick together. Now, each color Pigment, except Yellow, has 2 recipes for 2 colors of dye. (Yellow only has 1, awwww pat pat!)
Snow White Dye and Soot Black Dye are made from Grey Pigment.
Dalamud Red Dye and Wine Red Dye are made from Red Pigment.
Pumpkin Orange Dye and Loam Brown Dye are made from Brown Pigment.
Honey Yellow Dye is made from Yellow Pigment.
Hunter Green Dye and Sahagin Blue Dye are made from Green Pigment.
Royal Blue Dye and Abyssal Blue Dye are made from Blue Pigment.
Now, my favorite color ^^ The purple!
Lotus Pink Dye and Regal Purple Dye are made from Purple Pigment.

That’s it for this entry. I’ll show some pics as samples of each color when used on materials in-game later when I manage to get into the game and get some screenshots LOL.

Thanks for this! One question, though. I’ve leveled my armorsmithing to lvl 30, so I can now make dyes. I’m looking in Central Thanalan for the grey pigments, but not seeing it on any of the nodes in that area. My mining is at 27. Do I need to get that to 30 before they’ll show up?
I am very sorry. I messed up and swapped
the botanist and the minerpieces of info and misplaced them. For Central Thanalan,greypurple pigment is from logging. If you use miner, you have to go to Western La Noscea. My text in this page is wrong,please use the map screenshot insteadbecause I had mismatched the map screenshots with the pigment. It was my bad! I will correct my text as soon as I get home.The nodes should become visible (and show up in Gathering Log book) as soon as you hit level 26.
Thanks for the clarification! I played at launch back in 1.0 and loved crafting. I love all the quality of life improvements they made to it (recipes!) as well as the rest of the game. Keep up the great blog posts!
