Dyeworks

Dyeworks is a shop located in the NC Mall! This shop will allow you to duplicate selected NC wearable items with up to three different color variations. Sometimes a fourth color option is available.

How it works

First, you need to purchase a Hue Brew Potion from the NC Mall for 125NC each. Later, Dyeworks packs of 5, 10 and 20 were made available for purchase in the NC Mall. These new packs are available for 500, 900 and 1,500NC respectively. Once you have bought your potion and are ready to use it, place it in your inventory along with the original wearable item you would like to dye. Then go to Dyeworks in the NC Mall. There, you will find all the selected NC wearable items you can use the potion on. Click on the item you'd like to dye. You must already own these items, in order to use the Hue Brew Potion on them. There are 3 selected dye colors for each wearable item. Once the potion is used on a wearable item, it will then duplicate to a random color. As long as you have a Hue Brew Potion and the original selected wearable item from the Dyeworks shop, you can dye the NC item as many times as you want.

Additional Information

When this potion is used on a wearable item, you will still have the original item. Some of the NC items can be bought from the NC mall. Other items are from past NC events, and can be found from NC trading on the Neocash board. You cannot use Dyeworks items to dye other NC items. An item that has been dyed will have a name like: Dyeworks Blue: Shimmery Rose Top.

The Hue Brew Potion does not require activation. Put the potion in your inventory, and then go to the Dyeworks shop. This potion can be used on your side-accounts, and can be gifted. The duplicated Dyeworks items can be also be gifted. You will need to use an NC gift box to transfer these items. For more information on NC gift boxes, check out our NC Trading Guide.
