Dyes are the secret ingredient to a truly unique look in the vibrant New World. This helps you stand out in large-scale PvP battles, striking fear in your enemies and making it easier for your friends to spot you in the bustling towns of Aeternum.
Crafting your dyes is both rewarding and cost-effective compared to buying them from the in-game store or other players. By harvesting pigments from the world around you and combining them with other ingredients, you can create various colors to match your style.
This guide will walk you through crafting dyes, from gathering the necessary materials to applying them to your armor. Let’s dive in and discover the endless possibilities of customization in New World!
How to Craft All Dyes?
You must access a cooking station with a kitchen tier of at least 2 to craft dyes. The higher your cooking skill level, the more dyes you can craft. You can find cooking stations in various locations throughout the game. Now, you need two resources to make dye in the New World: water and pigments (x2). If you don’t have the resources to craft the dye, you can purchase it from the Trading Post or get it by completing quests.
Finding Pigments
To make dyes, you must find pigments, which can be obtained from Prismabloom plants. These plants can be found throughout the game world and come in different colors, each corresponding to a specific pigment. You can use the New World Map to find the locations of Prismabloom plants and plan your routes.
The following is a list of all the pigments in the game and the fungi from which you can harvest them.

How to Dye Armors in New World?
The first thing you must have is some dye. Once you have them, open your inventory and right-click on the equipment you wish to dye. Choose the dye and color your armor.
Depending on the dye, you can select different primary, secondary, accent, and tint colors for your equipment (armor and shield). That leaves much room for customization and unique character appearance options.
