Black dye - am I imagining things?

I have a problem that’s been bothering me for a while - at the very beginning of my adventure with TQ I spotted a black dye in one of the shops, and I remember it was so expensive I had no chances to buy it. Weeks have passed, I'm filthy rich but since that one event I have never encountered a black dye in shop again.

So, does it exist but is very rare, or is it just my imagination of a newbie player setting me up with false images?

It probably does exist, but it has no real purpose other than changing the look of your character, which has never mattered in video games IMO.

I'm pretty sure you can buy black dye from that shopkeeper you get the quest to find. Maybe that's the only place it's available.

@Darth Spawn, SWCarter had already said this, why reiterate the same thing?

Some of the people already mentioned the master blacksmith(Greece) from where you can buy the black dye but there is one more place you can get it or at least that's where i got it.In chumbi valley(OrientAct3) while doing the quest(forgot its name)there is a general merchant and he also sell the black dye.Hope this helps

Shilpa, I'm a guy and my character's look matters... I just wish that the dye affected the look more.

It's not random. It is rare, but that's because it shows up only in a few locations, it doesn't show everywhere.

My $0.02

I also noticed it early in the game and have not seen it sense. I have not really looked for it since. Glad to see someone else noticed it.

Avatar appearance, IMO, does matter. Many game designers know this an incorporate it into game play. I know people who spend a great deal of time looking for an item for that reason. It's like reiteration...it can be an important part of making a statement whether that statement is aesthetic or content driven, where reiteration counts for incremental validation or to build on a theme. Some people need to hear a message embedded in a strong theme rather than what they might perceive as an idiosyncratic rogue comment

Ok, sorry about the overkill
