In Diablo 3, a dye can be used to change the color of your armor and weapons. You can find dye vendors in each act of the game, and they usually sell a variety of colors.
But if you’re looking for a specific color, you might have to do some searching. If you want to find dye vendors, this guide will show you how.
Where Do You Get Dye in Diablo 3?
Armor Dyes let players change the color of some parts of their gear. There are 20 known colors of armor dye, plus two special kinds: dye remover and transparent dye (which removes the item in the line of sight).
Players buy dyes in the game and use them to change the color of their gear. The color of something will change if it is dyed, but not the whole thing. Just a small part, like a border, sash, or background, while the rest of the metal stays a silvery color [1].
You can buy dyes from vendors. Each dye vendor has all the colors, but not all of them at the same time. Every 15 minutes, they get new stock.
Note that Bottled Cloud and Bottled Smoke are only available in the Collector’s Edition and can’t be bought in-game. The player can buy dyes from the following vendors:
- 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 occasion
- Vidar the Collector in Bastion's Keep Stronghold in Act IV
- Delilah the Collector in The Surviviors' Enclave in Westmarch in Act V
After a vendor-based event, some special vendors, like Rodger the Alchemist or Javad the Merchant, will offer special discounts on items.
Rodger will sell the player dyes at half price once the player starts The Sacrificial Hermit event.
