	''"You found me… few do. I beat plate now, not blades — … iron will not sit on you below Combat 15, and silver refuses anyone under Combat 25."''		''"You found me… few do. I beat plate now, not blades — a sword ends a fight, armour is what walks you out of the sands afterward. Bring me ingots, molten rock and brute horn and I will plate you head to heel: iron first, then silver when your hammer arm has earned it. Every piece you wear widens the shield you carry. But know this before you spend the horn — iron will not sit on you below Combat 15, and silver refuses anyone under Combat 25. Plate is no use to a body that cannot carry it."''

			(His line about widening your shield is older than the current armor system: armor now reduces the damage you take rather than enlarging your shield.)

	Armor grants '''damage reduction''', not a shield pool: the full iron set reduces incoming damage by 10%, and the full silver set by 15%.		Armor grants '''damage reduction''', not a shield pool: the full iron set reduces incoming damage by 10%, and the full silver set by 15%.

	~~== What Kaziir teaches ==~~		A player wearing no armor at all takes 50% extra damage from the [[Venomweaver]], [[Giant Scorpion\|Giant Scorpions]], [[King Scorpia]] and [[Magma Brute\|Magma Brutes]]. Wearing any single piece removes that penalty.
	~~Kaziir also explains the~~ armor ~~system to travelers:~~

	* Armor tiers: Iron (entry-level) and Silver (end-game)
	* Damage reduction: How each piece shaves a percentage off incoming hits
	* Durability mechanics: Why armour wears down and how to repair (repairs are handled at ~~the blacksmiths' forges)~~
	* Crafting progression: The path from ~~copper tools to silver armour~~
	* Fair combat: How equal armor access makes PvP skill-based

	~~He emphasizes that armor is not a pay-to-win system — every player, regardless of wallet, can craft the same tiers through patient farming.~~

	~~== Armor Lore ==~~
	~~Kaziir explains the philosophy behind Kintara's armor design:~~

	~~''"In~~ the ~~old days~~, ~~richer players wore better armour simply because they could afford it. But that is not justice. Here in Kintara~~, ~~armour is earned through craft~~ and ~~patience~~. ~~A new player and a veteran can both reach Silver — it takes time, not gold. That is the way of true strength~~.~~"''~~

	~~The armor system exists to make combat fair~~ and ~~reward dedication over wallet size~~. ~~Mechanically~~, armor ~~provides percentage damage reduction (10% for~~ the full ~~iron set, 15~~% ~~for~~ the full ~~silver set) rather than a pool of shield points~~.		== Armor basics ==
			* '''Tiers:''' Iron (entry level) and Silver (the top tier).
			* '''Damage reduction per piece:''' iron helmet/body/legs/boots 2/4/3/1%; silver 3/6/4.5/1.5%.
			* '''Durability:''' every worn piece loses one point of durability per hit you take, and a piece lasts 2,500 hits.
			* '''Repairs:''' Kaziir does not repair armor — take worn pieces to [[Grimjaw]] or [[Harun the Forgewright]], where a full repair costs 60% of the original materials.
			* '''Selling:''' armor can only be listed on the [[Marketplace]] at full durability; player trades accept worn pieces.

}}
'''Zahir the Dyeweaver''' is an NPC who operates an outdoor stall in [[The Dunes]] (West). He weaves complete colour sets into rare rainbow cosmetics — capes and party hats in every shade imaginable.

No Smithing skill required. Bring a full set of matching coloured cosmetics and Zahir transforms them into unique rainbow variants in seconds.

== How to weave cosmetics ==
Visit Zahir's stall in [[The Dunes]] (West) with a complete colour set:

{| class="wikitable"
! Cosmetic
! Required set
! Output
! Time
|-
| [[Rainbow Cape]]
| 7 capes (violet, blue, green, red, yellow, orange, white)
| 1 Rainbow Cape
| ~25 seconds
|-
| [[Rainbow Party Hat]]
| 6 hats (blue, green, purple, red, white, yellow)
| 1 Rainbow Party Hat
| ~25 seconds
|}

All materials must be in your cosmetics bag or inventory. Hand them over, wait ~25 seconds, and receive the woven rainbow item.

== Dialogue ==
When you approach Zahir:

''"Welcome to my loom, traveler. I weave the colours of the desert into cosmetics for those with vision. Bring me a complete set of one style — all the hues — and I will transform them into something extraordinary. Rainbow capes and hats, woven with precision."''

== Rainbow Cosmetics ==

=== Rainbow Cape ===
Required: 1 Violet Cape + 1 Blue Cape + 1 Green Cape + 1 Red Cape + 1 Yellow Cape + 1 Orange Cape + 1 White Cape

Output: 1 Rainbow Cape (cycles through all 7 colors when worn)

* Fully tradeable
* Stackable (10,000 per stack)
* No durability
* Cosmetic effect only (no stat bonus)

=== Rainbow Party Hat ===
Required: 1 Blue Party Hat + 1 Green Party Hat + 1 Purple Party Hat + 1 Red Party Hat + 1 White Party Hat + 1 Yellow Party Hat

Output: 1 Rainbow Party Hat (cycles through all 6 colors when worn)

* Fully tradeable
* Stackable (10,000 per stack)
* No durability
* Cosmetic effect only (no stat bonus)

== Sourcing Colour Sets ==
Rainbow cosmetics require complete colour sets. Zahir does not sell individual colours — you must source them yourself:

{| class="wikitable"
! Cosmetic
! Source
! Notes
|-
| Coloured capes
| [[Marketplace]], player trades, previous events
| Each colour is a separate cosmetic item
|-
| Coloured party hats
| [[Marketplace]], player trades, previous events
| Each colour is a separate cosmetic item
|}

Assembling a full rainbow set requires gathering or trading for each individual colour variant.

== Tips ==
* '''Complete sets only:''' Zahir requires ALL colours of a set. Missing even one colour means no weaving
* '''Batch weaving:''' If you have multiple complete sets, you can weave multiple rainbow cosmetics in succession (~25 seconds each)
* '''Marketplace farming:''' Hunt the marketplace for missing colour variants to complete your sets
* '''Tradeable output:''' Woven rainbow cosmetics are fully tradeable — sell them or keep them for flex value
* '''Visual uniqueness:''' Rainbow items cycle through all their colours, making them visually distinctive from single-colour cosmetics

== Cosmetic Weaving System ==
Zahir's weaving is unique to cosmetics — no gear, no tools, no resources other than the cosmetics themselves.

{| class="wikitable"
! Aspect
! Details
|-
| Smithing requirement
| None — cosmetic weaving is separate from smithing
|-
| Level gates
| None — any player can weave
|-
| Materials
| Only cosmetics (from bag or inventory)
|-
| Crafting time
| ~25 seconds per item
|-
| Output
| Rainbow variant (tradeable, stackable)
|}

Weaving is instant and requires no skill progression.

== Location ==
Zahir's stall is located in [[The Dunes]] (West). Entry points:

* South from [[The Pond]] → Dunes West (Zahir's location)
* South from [[The Shores]] → Dunes East (different location)

No level requirement to enter or visit Zahir.
