Brought up on mascot platformers and role-playing games from Japan, Ryan has been passionate about gaming for over two decades and has been writing about games for half as long.
In the sprawling world of Where Winds Meet, your character’s appearance is just as important as their combat prowess. While the game offers breathtaking landscapes and intricate martial arts, expressing your unique identity is key to truly immersing yourself in the Song Dynasty (or just looking fab).
Whether you aim for the vibrant silks of a travelling merchant, the muted tones of a secretive assassin, or a striking new hair colour, customisation is essential. Fortunately, the game provides a robust dyeing system that allows for deep personalization of both your wardrobe and your hairstyle.
How To Get Dyes
To be able to change the colours of your hair or clothes in Where Winds Meet, you’ll need to be aware of a few things:
There are four separate dye items in the game, two for hair and two for clothes.
Dyeing will consume these dyes, so you’ll need to be very certain that you’ll be happy with the dye job before committing!
Many hairstyles and clothing options (notably the ones you can get for free in-game) cannot be dyed.
20 Echo Beads per item in the shop, but also from draws and other locations viewable from the item’s tooltips
100 Echo Beads per item in the shop, but also from draws and other locations viewable from the item’s tooltips
50 Echo Beads per item in the shop, but also from draws and other locations viewable from the item’s tooltips
The difference between the the different dyes is important to note: the cheaper and more common dyes will only let you dye clothes and hair ‘enduring colours sought after by the people’ which basically means that bright and vibrant colours will require the more expensive dye.
From your Character menu, head to the Appearance section. Here, you can select the hairdo or the outfit that you wish to dye. If it’s dyeable, there will be an option in the lower-right corner of the screen that opens up the dyeing interface. If there is no such button, you cannot dye the hair/clothes.

In the dyeing menu, you can alter the colours of many parts of an outfit, separated by fabric and accessories, which are denoted by their names (for example Hemline, Outer Coat, and Boots).
While the menu will default to the ‘Advanced Dye’, which requires the more expensive dyes, you can also switch to the ‘Basic Dye’ section, which will replace the colour selection window with one that only contains colours that use the cheaper dyes. It’s more limited, but prevents you from requiring the more expensive dye powder and is easier to use as a result.
Once you are happy with your design, the next step is to click the Dye button (denoted in the lower-right corner of the screen), assign the design a slot, and then Apply, which will consume your dyes.
