Dyes

From The Wajas Wiki
Dye Dalmatian is a popular dye.

Dyes are items used to place a new marking on a waja, and can be used on any waja at any time. The name of the dye refers to the name of the marking it adds. Restockable dyes are available in the Dye Shop. Dyes that do not restock in the Dye Shop are called Non-shop Dyes or Out Of Shop Dyes (OOS Dyes), and are re-released occasionally in the CWP shop but otherwise must be obtained through the Shop Search. Once added, a dye can never be completely removed (though you can re-dye the same marking to change the color or opacity of the marking.)

Not all markings are available as dyes. It is worth learning what markings are available as dyes, as they will assist you when trying to find mates for wajas and also when designing wajas in the Custom Demo.

Some markings are available as both token markings and dye markings.

Applying a Dye

To apply a dye to a waja, first click on the dye in your inventory and select "Use". You will be prompted to choose the waja you want to use the dye on. Select the waja you want and you will be presented with a page similar to the custom demo or custom creation page. Here you will choose the hex color you want the dye to be (it defaults to FFFFFF white), the strength/opacity you want it to be (it defaults to 100%), and the layer you want the dye marking to be placed on. At any time you can press "Preview" to see what the waja will look like once the dye is applied at the current layer/strength/color. Once you're satisfied, press "Create" and the waja will be dyed.

Dye markings applied to an already pregnant waja will not affect the pups she is pregnant with.

Note: When using a dye marking, the layer order is actually from the bottom up. Thus, if you place a marking at the top of the list it will be the first marking applied to the Waja. Subsequent markings will be layered on top of it. Adding a marking to the very top of the list will actually set the marking on the very bottom, with all other markings on top. Adding a marking to the very bottom of the list will set the marking on the very top above all other markings.

Once applied, Dye Markings behave exactly the same as any other marking and pass on to pups in the same way.

Shop Dyes

The Dye Shop is found under the Shops link in the World menu, and restocks at :02, :17, :32 and :47 past the hour (except between 1am-2am wajas time when there are no restocks). This is where many dyes can be bought, though there are also many dyes that are not available here. Occasionally DNAs for Mutations will also be released in this shop. All of the available dyes do not usually appear in a single restock, so the specific dyes in each restock will vary.

Out Of Shop Dyes

Out of Shop Dyes (formerly known as non-shop dyes) are limited release dyes that cannot be purchased in the regular Dye Shop. Non-shop dyes are available in user shops, auctions, trades, Dye Emporium, Leaf Exchange, CWP Shop, Forum Goblins, Mining, Nicola the Genius, Mystery Dye, The Raven's Nest, and RKP (Raccoon King's Shop). Currently, OOS dyes found via forum goblins, mining, Nicola, and the Raccoon King are available in unlimited quantities and do not seem to rotate. Dyes found in the Leaf Exchange and CWP Shop may rotate, and dyes found in the Dye Emporium rotate weekly. These dyes are often referred to as "OOS" dyes, which stands for "out of shop," referring to the fact that they cannot be found in the Dye Shop.

Other Shops

These are other Shops where you can purchase dyes. Despite the fact that they can be purchased from a site shop, these dyes are still considered Out of Shop dyes, because they cannot be found in the Dye Shop.

CWP Shop

The CWP Shop is found under the Shops link in the World menu. The stock in the CWP shop may rotate monthly, and changes should be announced in the news. They are generally priced around 1-5 CWP, and cannot be purchased with WC through the shop, but they are stocked in infinite quantity. These are the dyes that are currently marked as Permanent in the CWP shop.

Leaf Exchange

The Leaf Exchange is found under the Shops link in the World menu. The Leaf Exchange dyes are stocked infinitely and can be purchased using Leaf Points. Other dyes may rotate in and out of the Leaf Exchange, but the following are in there permanently.

The following OOS dyes are available to purchase for 825 RKP, which are obtained by trading in unwanted items at a rate of one item = one RKP, from the Raccoon King Shop after completing the Raccoon King Plot.

The Raven's Nest

The Raven's Nest is found under the Shops link in the World menu, and restocks at :02, :17, :32 and :47 past the hour (except between 1am-2am wajas time when there are no restocks). Each of these dyes is 4 million WC.

Dye Emporium

The Dye Emporium is found under the Shops link in the World menu. The stock in the Dye Emporium updates every Monday at 12:00 AM Wajas time. They are stocked infinitely for 6 CWP each. Dyes found in the Dye Emporium will not restock in consecutive weeks (ex. if a dye is in the Dye Emporium the first week of the month, it will not appear the second week).
