- Dyes can be used to change the colour of your equipment.
- You can apply dyes directly to your equipped armor, or you can apply them to items in your Wardrobe or Vault.
- The Wardrobe allows you to save all dye colors applied to any piece of equipment, otherwise, only the specific item is dyed.
- To dye an item in your Wardrobe, simply right click on the dye pot and then left click on the item you wish to dye.
- The Dressing Room is used to check the colour effect on your equipment before using any dye.
- ctrl + left-click on an equipment item to open your Dressing Room.
- You can then preview any colour from the drop-down menu available.
- Note: Some items cannot be dyed (example: the Rise of Isengard pre-order cosmetics). If an item cannot be dyed, you will not be able to change the drop-down menu for that item slot.
Sources
- The primary source of dye is the Scholar crafting profession. A scholar can create dyes once they have learned a recipe for the particular dye colour and acquire the necessary components. Scholar-list dyes may also be purchased in the LOTRO Store for points, and from Lalia's Market for Mithril Coins.
- Certain dyes are not craftable by Scholars, but are obtained from Barter Vendors during specific Festivals. See Festival Dyes below.
- Dyes may be available in the Auction House.
- Occasionally, dyes are awarded as quest rewards.

- All dye ingredients are rare items from their respective fields and resource nodes, except for Yarrow Root , Woad Plant and Indigo Plant , which are themselves resources found around the world.
- Example: a strawberry field will always produce a strawberry crop, but will rarely produce the juicy strawberry needed for red dye. Well-tended fields from critical farming successes increase the chance for rare items.
Festival Dyes
- In addition, these dyes are available during the Anniversary Festival as quest rewards: Ashenslades Green, Belegaer Blue, Dark Clay, Lavender, Lórien Gold, and Moria Silver.

Note: dye colors can look very different on different armour pieces. You can preview how any dye will look on a particular item by using the Dressing Room function, accessed by CTRL + left-clicking on that item, then choosing what dye colour you want to see in the drop down menus shown there.
