### How To Craft Every Dye Recipe
The first step to making dyes is to find a cauldron. You’ll find cauldrons at any witch vendor around Pywel. The first witch you meet is Elowen, located at the Witch’s Lair north of Hernand Castle.
To make as many dyes as possible, gather plenty of these four items:
1. Beetles
2. Pink Herbs – Pink Rosemary, Begonia
3. White Herbs – Marigold, Dunbaria, Yellow Rosemary
4. Yellow Herbs – Dendroblum Orchid, False Starwort, Snapdragon
Having a good supply of these herbs and insects will allow you to craft all the dyes in Crimson Desert.
