Dyeing is the application of dye to gear to change its color.

Unlock

Before Players can Dye (action) icon1.png  Dye their gear, they must complete the quest Feature QuestColor Your World in Vesper Bay (X:12.6 Y:14.3) of Western Thanalan by speaking to the NPC Swyrgeim, or Feature QuestA Self-improving Man from Wiscard in Mor Dhona (X:22.1 Y:6.7). Only one of the two quests can be completed and there is minimal difference between the two.
