cochineal Ink?Follow

I'm pretty sure the recipe can be found in Artisans Refining Vol4. Not sure of the exact recipe, but it most likely involves Lapis or Copper as the main ingredient.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hope this helps

/em Ed McMahon voice... You are correct, Sir! (well, for 2 out of the 3 recipes, anyway!)

If you need to wait till it drops for you, it's a random drop and you may never see it! Other than that, it can usually be found on the broker for less than 25 silver, (on my server, anyway).
