How to Dye Your Armor and Clothing

  2. Select "Use" to initiate the dyeing process.

A new window will open, displaying the dye and an empty slot. To change the color of a specific piece of equipment or clothing, move that item into the empty slot.

You can dye any piece of armor or clothing, except for your rings, necklace, and weapon, giving you the freedom to express your style.

Once you've confirmed the item you want to dye, press "Combine" to apply the dye. Be aware that the dye will be consumed in the process. If you intend to dye multiple pieces of armor the same color to create a coordinated look, ensure you have enough dye in your inventory.

Notably, this change is not permanent. You can dye your armor and clothing as many times as you like, allowing you to experiment until you find the perfect color to match your current aesthetic.

Should you wish to revert your armor or clothing to their original color, a Dye Remover item is available for that purpose.
