Dyer's tent

The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Each town has a dyer's tent where simple items can be taken to change their colors. Many colors are available in multiple, or even all, of the dyer's tents, while others may be available only in one.

In order to dye an item, the adventurer must purchase a vial of sample dye (500 coins each), selecting the desired color from those available. Then, approach the dyer's tent clerk (usually found in the center room or near the entrance except in Solhaven at Midrian's Dyes, in which case it is east of the entrance, through a door, and then in one of the three stalls) while holding the vial of sample dye in one hand and the item to be dyed in the other. Then they must ORDER the service, at which time the clerk will inform them if the item can or cannot be dyed, and if it can be dyed, what the result will look like. There is the choice to walk away or confirm the order, and if confirmed, the item is immediately altered to its new description. All magic metal weapons and armor will keep the metal in the description.

Sample dyes can be stored and transported for later use.

A number of dyes can be made via Alchemy. They are listed below in the column marked ALCH. No clerk is needed to use alchemy-made dyes. Some can be made as early as General alchemy rank 4, while others are taught later.
