In case you are forgetful like me, and wonder how many you needed for the Darkmoon tailoring quest (Banners, Banners Everywhere!), you only need one.
You also need one Blue Dye, and one Coarse Thread
Used in multiple tailoring recipes and for 1 repeatable quest to get your reputation back with Booty Bay.
On that note, [npc=2672] is the most convenient NPC to get Red Dye from if you are farming Bloodsail mobs in the ships South of Booty Bay and want to do the turn-ins as you collect Silk Cloths.
That is every comment on this page.

Red Dye in WoW Classic and World of Warcraft: Forever
Red Dye is in the Classic Era game data, the era World of Warcraft: Forever is built on. Blizzard describes Forever as vanilla World of Warcraft plussed up: its story sits in year one, characters level to 60 and stay there, and it launches November 4, 2026. Blizzard has not said which vanilla items appear in Forever, so nothing here is a Forever claim; it is the Classic Era record for Red Dye next to the live retail market on this page.
- Is Red Dye in World of Warcraft: Forever?
- Not confirmed. Blizzard has not published Forever's item list. Red Dye is a Classic Era item and Forever is built on vanilla World of Warcraft with its story set in year one and a level 60 cap, so this page tracks it. Forever launches November 4, 2026.
- What level is Red Dye in WoW Classic?
- In Classic Era, Red Dye is Common quality, item level 10 with no level requirement.
- What does Red Dye sell for to a vendor in Classic?
- A vendor pays 12c for one Red Dye in Classic Era.
- What is Red Dye used for in WoW Classic?
- Red Dye is a reagent in 27 Classic Era recipes, including Colorful Kilt, Crimson Dawnwoven Bag, Crimson Silk Belt, Crimson Silk Cloak and 23 more.
- How much is Red Dye on the auction house right now?
- 1s on the EU region auction house, on live retail servers, from the latest Blizzard auction house snapshot. Blizzard publishes no Classic Era auction house feed, and Forever has not launched, so those two have no price here yet.
