Terraria is not the only game where you get to be creative in building and combat; even the character appearance and style are quite customizable. Dye is so much colourful and collectable for your armour, accessories, and even some vanity sets. But with so many dyes and crafting options, where do you even start? The guide will take you through the chromatic journey of getting dyes, crafting up new colours, and turning your Terraria character into a visual showpiece!
A Rainbow of Riches: Where to Find Dyes
The dyes come from different sources and are of different types, and this is how you would want to fill your dye vat. The most common ways through which you would like to fill your dye vat include:
Tailor your
Terraria server to your preferences with ScalaCube's extensive mod and plugin support.
- Natural Dyes: Plenty of basic dyes can be found in a natural environment growing all over the world as background objects. From yellow marigolds in forests to blue kelp from the ocean and crimtane roses found in crimson biomes, many dyes can be obtained from plants and can be used in the game.
- Dcolor crafted: Using the dye vat crafting station can make you able to mix specific materials and come up with new dye colors. You can have more diversified colors from such a station and thus enjoy your unique collection of various dyes
- Enemy Drops: Some of these enemies may drop dyes in case they are defeated. For example, Pink Gelatin Slime may drop Pink Dye while Blood Moon enemies can give you Red Dye.
- Dye Trader: He sells a wide variety of dyes once you MAKE A SALE in which you hand him the STRANGE PLANT that you RECEIVED FROM THE DYE TRADER in your inventory; these may contain Silver Dye and Brown Dye. This also offers for sale the Dye Vat and allows you to expand your dyeing horizons.
- Trading Strange Plants: The Dye Trader will exchange a random dye for any Strange Plant you are offering to him. This will get you dyes that you might not yet have found in the game, albeit it introduces an element of chance.
With a keen eye and a thirst for exploration, you'll soon have a vibrant collection of dyes at your disposal!
The Art of Alchemy: Crafting Dyes in the Dye Vat
The Dye Vat is your gateway to a world of color combinations. Here's how to utilize it to create stunning new dye shades:
- Simple Combinations: Many crafted dyes need but one easy-to-find material. For example, if one were to combine Bone with water in the Dye Vat, it would create Bone White Dye.
- Dyes can be mixed and matched to combine. The real power of the Dye Vat is the combination of existing dyes. Two dyes laid in the crafting grid equals a check on color produced. This opens up a vast array of possibilities.
- Making Silver Lining: Any preexisting dye added by silver dye (bought from the Dye Trader) makes a brighter version of that.
Remember, experimentation is key! Don't be afraid to mix and match dyes to discover unique and eye-catching color combinations.
Dyeing the World Your Way: Customizing Your Character
Once you have your collection of dyes, it's time to put them to use! Here's how to apply dyes to your character:
- The Dye Interface: Open your inventory and locate the dye slots. These slots can hold any dye you've acquired.
- Dyeing Your Gear: To use the dye, just drag and drop the dye on any armor piece, vanity item, or accessory in your inventory. The item will take on the color of the applied dye.
- Multiple Endless Possibilities: The armory sets and accessories come to have multiple dyed slots in them and thereby provide more of customization for sure. Users may try different colors to bring out a unique look.
Dyes let you express your personality and style in Terraria. So, unleash your inner fashionista and create a character that pops!
In other words, you will not be able to take the colour out inside Terraria. However, you could apply a new color over the dye, in case you want it.
No. Dyes are purely cosmetic and don't offer any in-game bonuses or stat changes.
This recipe for White Dye (Bone + Ash) is missable, as Ash only falls during the Hardmode event "Full Moon." Black Dye requires one to drop into the Underworld to obtain the recipe (Bone + Ink Sac).
You can store dyes in the chests and piggy banks, but there is no in-game sort function. You will have to come up with a system of organization for yourself.
