I see in the official pages regarding crafting that there are recipes to craft dyes! i can also see what are the ingredients to craft them... what i cant see is WHERE CAN I GET THE DYE RECIPES????
Specifically, there is an NPC in each clan hall that will sell you an array of items and recipes. (SOE-Town, EAD, Pet tickets, Common Craft Recipes, etc.) Most of these items are limited in quantity and regenerate at a slow rate.
Yes you can craft dyes, but you need a total of 11 recipes (1 for your book, and 10 for each dye) and a lot of Thin and Thick Fish Bones, which are not very easy to get through fishing from what I've seen. If someone knows of a way to get fish bones easier, it would be helpful.
As mentioned above, the fishing is the killer. The fish bones come slowly, and you get almost no XP while fishing. Fishing is something you do when you can't get a group and can't 2-box.
