General

With Dyeing many Quest and Loot-generated Armor could be matched better. Unfortunately, the colors obtained by using plants are limited to 9 colors total, and these do not include orange or pink.

These colors can only be obtained by fail-dyeing. Each time a dye attempt is made, there is a small chance it can fail based on the cooking skill of the dyer. A minor failure will cause a loss of 20 AL, a critical failure a loss of 50 AL.

With Tailoring brought in, these losses of AL became less important, since the pink or orange item could be tailored upon another piece of armor or clothing.

With quest items becoming tailorable, the opportunities to walk around in hot pink or nuked orange increased tremendously.

The Fail-Dye Mule

To fail a dye, a character needs to have trained cook. A very very very low skill of trained Cook. A fail-dye mule should start with 10 Focus and 10 Coordination, and never raise these attributes. Leveling is of course possible, but with never raising these attributes, it is hard to make this a viable character, since for Magics a high focus is preferred, and for Melee & Missile, a high Coordination. Of course, never buff these skills either, nor wear armor that increases these attributes (or cooking).

Additionally, you need an alchemist with a high skill to actually make the dye-pots. Hand these pots to the fail-dye mule.

To increase the chance of the failing, it is a good idea to keep the mule at 40$ vitae, and debuff him with the level 8s for Cooking, Focus and Coordination. In other words, go pklite, clobber the mule a few times on the head, and debuff the said skills.

Orange and Pink

General rule: Armor made out of metal dyes orange, Clothing dyes pink, and Hide can go either way.

Notable exception for metal is Covenant Armor which, though made out of metal, fail-dyes pink.

Notable exception for clothing are the Aphus Wading Pants, the Sparring Pants and Sparring Shirt, which is the only clothing known to dye orange.

For examples of fail-dyeing, check the Category:Dyeable page, which lists all the items ingame currently dyeable, and includes a Dyed Variations Table, of which the last one is the result of fail-dyeing.
