How To Make the Ink Grinder in Return to Moria

Before you can make the ink grinder in Return to Moria, you need to unlock it.
To unlock the ink grinder, you need to first build the workbench.
Upon building it, the workbench will unlock a number of recipes with one of them being the ink grinder.
With the ink grinder unlocked, you can build it with the following resources:
- 15 Stone
- 5 Citrine
- 5 Amber
- 5 Cloth Scraps
Don’t know where to get those gemstomes?
You just need to harvest some iron and coal ore.
Both ore veins will drop the gemstones randomly.
You can also mine other ore veins to get other types of gemstones.
You’ll need a number of different gemstones if you want to dye your armor.
How Do You Color Your Armor in Return to Moria

To color your armor in Return to Moria, you’re going to need an ink grinder and some dyes.
The dyes come from gemstones which you basically grind up in the ink grinder to create dye.
Each color option has a specific gemstone tied to it.
Blue dye, for example, wants Zeleb gemstones.
Black dye wants onyx gemstones.
You may need to travel deeper into the mines to find the specific ore veins to get the gemstones to drop.
Each dye wants at least three gemstones to color one piece of armor, so make sure you harvest enough.
When you have enough gemstones, you can return to the ink grinder, select the armor piece you want to color, and then choose the color you want it to be.
With everything selected, you can press the “Apply Tint” button to color it.
Now, your dwarf is looking a bit more stylish.
