Primary Black Dye Module

Source: Cartel MarketGTN

The Primary Black Dye Module originally could be found on the Cartel Market i Cartel Packs. Due to the random nature of Cartel Packs and Dye Packs, there is a low chance of receiving any specific dye from these packs, it is recommended to instead buy the Primary Black Dye Module from the GTN from other players. Sometimes this dye can also be bought directly from the Cartel Market with Cartel Coins (CC), but what exactly is available for direct sale on the Cartel Market changes from day to day.

When you use the Primary Black Dye Module, it will dye the primary dye section of your armor Black, and will leave the secondary dye section of your armor its original color. You can not combine it with a different secondary dye module.

Preview First: Before purchasing this dye, you can preview it with your armor by CTRL+LEFT CLICKING the dye item while you are also previewing the armor you want to dye. Dyes sometimes appear differently on different textures and types of armor.

One-use: All dye modules are one-use, so once you've added a Primary Black Dye Module to your armor, you will not be able to remove it and reuse it later.

Added to game files in patch 2.6

Cartel Market Dyes in SWTOR

Cartel Market dyes originally could be found on the Cartel Market or in Cartel Packs. Due to the random nature of Cartel Packs, there is a low chance of receiving any specific dye from these packs, so it is recommended to instead buy the dye module you want from the GTN from other players. Some of these dyes can also be bought directly from the Cartel Market with Cartel Coins (CC), but what exactly is available for direct sale on the Cartel Market changes from day to day.

Dye Changes

The developers released an intriguing statement about dyes during the 7.6 Developer Livestream. We don't know when or how it will affect the Primary Black Dye Module.

'Speaking of dyes, we’ve got something we’d like to talk about – dye pack updates. In the game, we’ve had a lot of feedback about how dye packs are purchased and stored and applied to the character and we want to re-evaluate that system. And so while we are doing that, and before that picture solidifies, we do want to go ahead and make the cartel market sale of 50% off all dye packs starting November 14th [2024]. We are trying to improve how the player experience is around dye packs, so that’s what our intention is until we settle that out. They’ll be on 50% off sale.'

Underworld Reputation

A small number of Cartel Market dyes and other Cartel Market items can be purchased from vendors up on a platform in the Cartel Bazaar section of the Fleet, which is the Northern elevator Republic side and the Southern elevator Imperial side. Unfortunately, these items are also tied to the Underworld Exchange reputation track, which can only be increased by rare bound items that come from the older types of Cartel Packs that are no longer being sold. This type of reputation is now mostly deprecated, and does not drop from Ultimate Cartel Packs which is all that has been sold for years now.

Contraband Slot machine decoration: If you can find a stronghold that has the Contraband Slot Machine Decoration (unrelated to the current casino event), you can “play” it to win reputation items for the Underworld Exchange reputation track. It also has a rare chance of dropping Cartel Certificates. If your guild does not have one of these, check the publicly listed strongholds in the Strongholds & Crew Skills sections of the fleet and rich players may have one publicly available.
