View source for Compassion Dye

===Overview===
'''Compassion Dyes''' were given to players in appreciation for the many, many downtimes, technical issues and other inconveniences during the nearly month-long upgrade of the UO Account Center. The often disruptive upgrade process began in early August 2011 and over a period of weeks players were, at times, unable to login, update their customer data, redeem tokens or a bevy of other account-related issues. The dyes were given out as a show of appreciation for the patience the UO playerbase had to endure.

:''"In earnest appreciation for your continuous support through the last few weeks we would like to  offer a gift of compassion to all our players."'' --'''Kai Schober'''

The dyes were [http://www.uoherald.com/node/457 first announced] on September 2, 2011 with a promise of debuting by the following week.

The dyes were [http://www.uoherald.com/node/459 announced for delivery] on September 8, 2011 with an accompanying [[Client Patch]] update and were scheduled for release the following day.

===Description===
Very similar to [[Tokuno Dyes]], the Compassion Dyes are given to players at one per account, per shard. Trial players or paid accounts less than 30 days old are ineligible to receive them. A random-colored(''list of colors below'') dye drops into the characters pack at login, has a single-use(1 charge) and is [[Blessed]].

The dyes come in one of four colors/varieties:
*Lavender Pigment
*Hunter Green Pigment
*Phoenix Red Pigment
*Slate Blue Pigment

The dyes may be used to dye, or change the color of, most any "artifacts and special material items" imaginable.
