== 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.

=== 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)

* 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)

* '''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

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

Kaziir the Armoursmith is an NPC in The Dunes (East) who serves as a guide and lorekeeper for the armor system. He does not craft or forge armor himself — that work is done by the blacksmiths Grimjaw and Harun the Forgewright.

Kaziir is a storyteller and scholar who explains the history, philosophy, and mechanics of Kintara's armor tiers to travelers.

  • **Crafting progression:** The path from copper tools to silver armour
  • **Fair combat:** How equal armor access makes PvP skill-based
