Dyes
Dyes are colour variants for Jin's armor, bows and Sakai horse armor. Most come from merchants for flowers, others from tales, Wind Shrines, Sakai Banners or Baku in New Game+, and none change stats.

Good to know
- The wiki counts 140 dyes in all, but that figure includes the 41 Sword Kits, which have their own set here.
- Without Sword Kits the split is 81 for armor, 6 each for the Half Bow and Longbow, and 6 for the Sakai Horse Armor.
- Merchant armor dyes cost 10 flowers unless noted; bow dyes cost 5.
- Baku the Voiceless sells New Game+ dyes, mostly for 15 Ghost flowers.
- Three outfits take no dyes at all: Deadly Rival's Attire, the Hero of Tsushima Armor and Archery Master's Attire.
- Wind Shrines on the Iki Island expansion give dyes for the Ghost, Kensei, Sakai Clan and Tadayori armors.
Where dyes come from
Regular merchants in each region and the White, Black and Crimson Dye Merchants sell most of them for flowers. Story and side tales hand out a few, such as Masako and Ishikawa tale rewards. Wind Shrines, the Platinum Trophy and one chest in Fort Sakai cover the rest.
Horse and bow dyes
Sakai Horse Armor dyes come from Tsubaki on Iki: one every 6 Sakai Banners, up to 30. Half Bow dyes come from Sensei Ishikawa's tales and merchants, while Longbow dyes are all bought.
Flowers
Flowers grow wild all over Tsushima and Iki, in the open and around shrines and settlements. Once you own the Traveler's Attire, the Guiding Wind can lead you to them. In New Game+, Ghost flowers replace them as Baku's currency.
- Iki IslandIki Island is the separate island southeast of Tsushima where the Iki Island expansion takes place. The Eagle Tribe under Ankhsar Khatun has taken it over, and Jin must face both the Mongols and his father's history there.
- IzuharaIzuhara is the southern region of Tsushima and the first one you explore in Act 1. It is where you rescue Lord Shimura from Castle Kaneda, meet most of your allies and learn the stealth tools that turn Jin into the Ghost.
KamiagataKamiagata is the snowy northern region of Tsushima and the setting for Act 3. It is thinly settled and harsh, and it is where you chase Khotun Khan to his final stronghold at Port Izumi.- ToyotamaToyotama is the central region of Tsushima, between Izuhara and Kamiagata. Act 2 plays out here: you rally allies, liberate Yarikawa and march on Castle Shimura, while side tales for Norio, Yuna and Yuriko open up.
