The dye table is a replacement for traditional dye tubs. It is an all-in-one dye station that will allow players to dye weapons, armor, clothing, and furniture.



By default, all players have access to the Classic Palette, and the 3 Specialty Palettes which were previously obtained upon selection of a crafting feat. In addition, players may unlock 4 color palettes by increasing their Renown with the Merchant Guild.

Dye Tables have been placed in the following locations:

• Edana Merchant Hall

• Arandor Merchant Hall

• Karagard Tailor Shop

Note: With this update, existing dye tubs have been wiped. The exception to this being the limited-use tubs which were previously gained through quests. These dye tubs may be turned in at a Merchant Guild Representative for a 1.5x return on their original cost in gold. Below is the full list of tubs which may be returned:

• Red Dye Tub
