Dye Making

Hints:

• If Rauk doesn't offer the option of making a dye, you need to go back to Selim the Dyer, and ask him to dye you an item. You will need to have an undyed item with you. When he offers to dye it, choose a color that you don't have. Selim will tell you that you need to bring him some dye first. Ask him where you get dye from, and he will tell you to find an alchemist. Now go back to Rauk.
• Most Woodland maps have the plants, but the Southernmost Woodlands (Cobalt and Mauve Plants) and the South-West Woodlands (Alizarin and Gamboge Plants) contain the most.
• Target the nearest enemy while walking around to easier find the plants.
• To gather these plants, attack them like you would any other monster.
• Pearls can be found easily at the Beach west of Tulimshar.
• If you do magic and have level 2 nature and general magic, try using the shearing spell on herb plants, they usually drop a herb.
• To receive a bonus, request the Dark Green Dye. Take with you about 20 green slimes, and talk to Rauk.
