Find that Dye!

There's been a lot of frustrating time and energy spent trying to find the ground spawns for dye components. In a lovely sign of tradesfolk cooperation and unity, various members of the EQ Traders Corner community have banded together to share information on ground drops ... even when it means that they'll then have more informed "competion" on their server for these very same drops. My hat goes off to them all - this sharing of information is what this community is about. :) So far, we've been able to narrow down the spawn time for the oxides and fungi to 21-22 hours. Evergreen leaves have reports of varying spawn times, from one report of "almost instant" to other reports of up to 20 hours. (The most reliable source says he camped a spawn point for a couple days solid, and the spawn time is 12 hours. Ugh, that's a long time to stare at a patch of ground!) Note that loc #s for the evergreen leaves may have a point or two variation off what is listed, but this should get you into the right areas.

Note that this is ONLY the ground spawn information, the information on mob drops is on the Dye Recipes page

Evergreen Leaves in Greater Faydark:

• Visual cue: these look like lighter green slanted squares (parallelograms) on the ground. Since the ground is green, these can be easy to miss if you're not scouring carefully. (See pictures below)
• Locations: (63, 166); (596, 200); (638, -96); (-411, -57); (962, 814); (-191, 7); (90, -400); (30, -2); (403, -440); (555, -234); (669, 774); (717, 748); (197, -483); (427, -321); (153, -390); (154, -72); (507, -631); (1333, 2313); (198, -648); (-469, -2244)

Jack-o'lantern Fungus and Sarcoscypha fungus in Lesser Faydark:

• Visual cue: these look like small red mushrooms on the ground
• Locations: on the ground in the faerie camp, generally around the bigger mushrooms.

Permafrost Crystals in Permafrost

• Visual cue: these look like red lumps on the ground. (See pictures below)
• Locations: On the ground in the dire wolf pens in Permafrost, as well as on the ground in various spots of the "Goblin Castle" (left of the "Flag Room", if that helps any. :D).

Oxides (Iron and Russet) in Steamfont:

• Visual cue: these look like red lumps on the ground. (See pictures below)
• Locations: On and around the huge gears on the ground near the minotaur caves. (Gotta love lots of metal rusting in the ground for dye components, eh? :D) Note that there are now moss-covered drake scales that spawn in the same areas and look the same.

2. Evergreen leaf spawn, inset enlarged to show detail.
