Whether Warriors of Light are trying to spruce up their armor’s appearance or earn Points for the weekly Fashion Report at the Gold Saucer, Final Fantasy XIV players might need to procure a consumable known as Blood Red Dye. The item’s name is self-explanatory, as the Dye resembles the color of red blood and can be used for coloring anything from cloth to metal. As of January 21, 2023, Blood Red Dye is the required color for the waist and hand gear pieces for those participating in Fashion Report Week 260. Therefore, understanding how to procure this particular Dye is essential for players attempting to earn 80 Points with their fit.Â
Procuring Blood Red Dye in Final Fantasy XIV
To get Blood Red Dye in FFXIV, players have three primary options. The first and most easily accessible method is doing business on the player-shared Market Board. Blood Red Dye is a tradable item and sells for about 185 Gil on the server Pandaemonium. Of course, server prices will vary, but the cost is typically low for this particular Dye.Â

The second way of obtaining Blood Red Dye in FFXIV is by purchasing the item from NPC Vendors found across Hydaelyn. Here is a list of each trader based on information from The Lodestone:
Merchant Name | Zone | Coordinates |
Unsynrael | Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks | (X:6.0 Y:12.3) |
Alaric | Old Gridania | (X:14.3 Y:8.8) |
Nanabe | Ul’dah – Steps of Thal | (X:14.2 Y:11.0) |
Eilonwy | The Firmament | (X:12.2 Y:14.2) |
Frine | The Pillars | (X:6.0 Y:9.9) |
Tokohana | Kugane | (X:12.9 Y:12.2) |
The cost for a single pot of Blood Red Dye when buying from NPCs will be 40 Gil, which is much lower than the prices on the Market Board. However, players should remember that the traveling time and effort to go from a location to a vendor’s nearest Aetheryte Crystal might be more “costly” than buying the Dye from the Market Board. Therefore, the cost is primarily paying for convenience.
The third way of procuring Blood Red Dye in Final Fantasy XIV is by participating in The Great Gubal Library, a Level 59 Dungeon accessible during the Heavensward storyline. Accordingly, adventurers who venture through this Dungeon might get Blood Red Dye from loot drops, such as the Treasure Coffers found throughout the instance.Â
Final Fantasy XIVÂ is available on PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
