Can clothes still be dyed pink?
Asked by Solandra on Jul 11 2002 06:00AM
I have tried around 30 times with a cooking skill of *4* on a mule (including max vitae, and self debuffs to get that low) and I have been unable to dye simple clothing pink by trying to fail.
Before I go waste more dye trying could you confirm that it is possible to dye clothes pink on a fail still? If not, why was it removed?

Yes, dyeing objects pink on fail is still possible.
Here's how it works:
Dyeing clothes and armor has a cooking skill resistance of 280. Dyeing Wedding Rainments has a skill check of 100.
You will fail 100% of the time as long as you are 100 skill points lower than the resistance level of the check. So with most clothes and armor if you have a cooking skill below 180 you should be failing all the time.
Now if you have failed your skill check then you have certain random chances of getting the various failure modifications. It turns out that you have a 15% chance of dyeing your apparel pink upon failure.
So the answer is you were just unlucky.
