Treasures of Tokuno Dyes

There were 3 rounds of Treasures of Tokuno events.

Treasures of Tokuno 1

During the first round of Treasures of Tokuno, you could turn in 10 minor artifacts to get one major artifact. One of the major artifacts was a 50-charge bottle of Pigments of Tokuno dye. Due to their colors, these were generally referred to as neon dyes.

The Japanese UO store later offerred for sale two types of tokens which allowed you to pick one or three of these dyes, depending on the token. Dyes obtained from these tokens came with 50 charges.

Additionally, one of the minor artifacts was a dye simply named "Pigments of Tokuno". During this round of Treasures of Tokuno, these bottles came with 10 charges. These hue 0 bottles act just like the bleach quest reward, and reset the hue on an item back to plain (hue 0).

Treasures of Tokuno 2

During the second round of Treasures of Tokuno, 30 minor artifact dyes and 10 major artifact dyes were added.

The minor artifacts came in 30 different colors, came with just 1 charge, and were simply named "Pigments of Tokuno". They are the same hues as old NPC armor, and are generally referred to as the "earthen" colors.

The major artifacts again could be obtained by turning in 10 minor artifacts. The major artifact dyes came with 10 charges, and are generally referred to as the "metal" colors. It is worth noting that the color named "Coal" is not the same hue as the old Coal gift, or as armor made from those ingots. Also note that the hues for these 10 major artifact dyes were the same hues as 10 of the minor artifacts; only the major artifact dyes were named.

The Japanese UO store later offerred for sale two types of tokens which allowed you to pick one or three of most of these major artifact dyes, depending on the token. For whatever reason, "Subdued Coal" was not made available from these tokens. Whereas the event dyes only came with 10 charges, dyes obtained from these tokens came with 50 charges.

Additionally, just like in the first round, one of the other minor artifacts was a dye simply named "Pigments of Tokuno". During this round of Treasures of Tokuno, these bottles came with 10 charges. These hue 0 bottles act just like the bleach quest reward, and reset the hue on an item back to plain (hue 0).
