How to Dye Armor

Acquire a Dye

To dye your armor, you must first acquire a dye that you will then apply to a piece of equipment. You can craft dyes using a cauldron after finding the recipe, or purchase them from a merchant.

Once you have a dye, open your inventory and press the Use button. You won't be able to apply the dye to your equipment without using it first.

Visit a Dyehouse

To apply dyes to your equipment, you will have to visit a dyehouse, with Theoric being the closest one in Hernand.

Speak to the Dyer, then choose Dye. Then, choose the piece of equipment that you wish to dye on the left, then choose the color of the dye that you want to apply on the right.

After making your changes, press the Dye button. Then, pay the necessary amount to finish the dyeing process and complete the transaction.
