Tracking down every dye in the world of Pywel can take a lot of time in Crimson Desert, but luckily, you can fill in the gaps by crafting any dye you want with these recipes. Much like food, dye recipes don't need to be discovered in the world to use them. Instead, you can use the improvise function to combine herbs and bugs to craft dyes from scratch. Read on to discover how to craft every dye recipe in Crimson Desert so you can finally fill out your collection while clearing bugs and herbs from your storage. How To Craft All Dye Recipes The first thing you need to do to craft dyes is find a cauldron. You can find cauldrons at any of the witch vendors scattered throughout Pywel. The first Witch you'll encounter is Elowen at the Witch's Lair, located north of Hernand Castle. There are four items you should bring in abundance to make sure you can craft as many dyes as possible: Beetles Pink Herbs – Pink Rosemary, Begonia. White Herbs – Marigold, Dunbaria, or Yellow Rosemary Yellow Herbs – Dendrobium Orchid, False Starwort, or Snapdragon. With your inventory packed to the brim with these herbs, you can begin crafting every dye in Crimson Desert.
