Armor Dyes allow players to dye certain components of gear.
There are 20 known colors of armor dye, plus two special types: dye remover and transparent dye (which makes the item not display at all). Players purchase dyes in the game, then use them to recolor their equipment. Dyeing (not dying) will modify the color of an item; not the whole thing, though. Just some portion, often a border or sash, or else the background of an item while the metal remains a silvery hue.
Function and Form[edit | edit source]
- Dyes can not be salvaged
- A bottle of dye is single use
- Basic, Magic, Rare, some Legendary and some Set items can be dyed
- Many Legendary and Set items with unique graphics do not display dyes.
- Items can only be dyed with one color at a time. Dying the same item with another dye will change the entire color, rather than going two-toned. [1]
What Can and Can not Be Dyed[edit | edit source]
Items that can not be dyed do not make up a visual component of the character anyway, so dying them would make no visible difference even if it was possible.

Purchasing Dyes[edit | edit source]
Dyes are purchased from vendors. All dyes are available at each dye vendor but not at the same time. Their inventory refreshes every 15 minutes.
Note that Bottled Cloud and Bottled Smoke are only available in the Collector's Edition and cannot be purchased in-game.
Dye Vendors[edit | edit source]
The following vendors are able to sell dyes to the player:
- The Wandering Tinker in the Fields of Misery, Tinker's Hovel.
- Adenah the Curio Vendor, House of Curios in the Fields of Misery.
- Rodger the Alchemist, after The Sacrificial Hermit event outside Wortham in Act I.
- Arghus the Collector in New Tristram (beginning in Nightmare).
- Tilnan the Collector in Caldeum in Act II. (Or in the Hidden Camp after accepting The Scouring of Caldeum quest)
- Javad the Merchant in the Rotting Cellar
- Vidar the Collector in Bastion's Keep Stronghold in Act III, additionally in the Bridge Stores on Rakkis Crossing on occassion.
- Vidar the Collector in Bastion's Keep Stronghold in Act IV.
- Delilah the Collector in The Surviviors' Enclave in Westmarch in Act V.
Some special vendors, such as Rodger the Alchemist or Javad the Merchant, will offer special discounts on items after a vendor-based event. For Rodger, once the player begins The Sacrificial Hermit event, he will sell the player dyes at half cost.
Official Comments[edit | edit source]
More information about how dyes will be obtained and how they will function in the game came from the Diablo 3 community manager, Bashiok, who answered some fan questions about armor dyes after they were revealed at Gamescom in August 2010.
'''Bashiok: '''There are specific slots that are able to be dyed, and it's generally the slots where dying them would actually matter (ie they have some surface area to be dyed).
'''Bashiok:''' They're technically a two color gradient, which allows us to achieve a more natural looking coloration, but for the sake of simplicity, yes they're presented as a single color.
In a fansite Q&A Blizzard confirmed that there were no special effects on dyes outside of changing an item's color: [2]
A. No they don’t have particle effects. For now they can technically only be single color gradients.
