Dye Making Overview

Dye Making is the skill of producing dye to be applied to armor. Textile Creation, Tanning, Blacksmithing, or Toolcrafting is required to apply the dye to cloth, leather, metal, or organic armor respectively. The skill is learned automatically at Level 1 once a dye recipe is purchased.

You can see see some Examples of Dyed Armor here.

Most dye recipes require either Flowers or Gems. Flowers are obtained through Foraging flower seeds and then growing them with Gardening. Gems are obtained through Surveying.
