Goblin Diplomacy FAQ
01How do I make orange dye in Goblin Diplomacy?
Use red dye on yellow dye to combine them into orange dye. Do not apply them to the goblin mail separately.
02How many Quest points is Goblin Diplomacy?
It rewards 5 Quest points, along with 200 Crafting experience and a gold bar.
03What are the requirements for Goblin Diplomacy?
There are no skill or quest requirements. You need 3 sets of goblin mail, blue dye, and red and yellow dye to make orange dye.
04Can I buy the dyes for Goblin Diplomacy?
Yes. Blue, red and yellow dye can be bought from the Grand Exchange, or Aggie in Draynor Village can make them. Combine red and yellow into orange dye before using it.
05Do I need to dye all three sets of goblin mail?
No. Dye one blue, dye a second one orange, and leave the third brown. Dying the yellow mail directly with red dye makes red mail instead of orange, so mix the dyes first.
06Can ironmen do Goblin Diplomacy?
Yes. Woad leaves from Wyson, onions, redberries and goblin mail are all obtainable in free-to-play, and Aggie makes the dyes with coins and items.

It is required for The Lost Tribe and the Freeing the Goblin generals subquest of Recipe for Disaster.
