Materials to make dye are sold only in gunthak at the lighthouse (there is an instruction book sold there also). You will need brewing (or alchemy) and pottery for the 2 sub-combines and brewing for the main combine. The brew barrel and kiln are right there in zone. Trivials are ~60ish with what I would consider high failure rate. Component cost runs around 30p minimum so consider that in your decision to make vs. buy.
With that in mind, I'm thinking 30PP cost + high failure rate + long distance trip to obtain components - 40PP retail = not worth all the bother for that small a savings (25% markup).
Maybe I'm just being lazy but I haven't even STARTED to level in brewing yet and considering that there are about 100 vials of the stuff in Bazaar on my server, all priced at 40PP, I just don't see the point. If I could make the stuff cheap and resell or if there was none available at a decent price I might be more willing, but under the prevailing circumstances...
