Overview
Tailoring allows each player to customize the appearance of their characters as they adventure throughout Dereth. Players can customize both their weapons and armor using tailoring kits which are purchased from tailors in the starting towns. Tailoring allows you to apply an item with a desired appearance to a comparable item with desired attributes/statistics. This updates the target item to have the appearance of the first item, while keeping the desired attributes/statistics. Tailoring gives players a virtually unlimited number of possibilities for their characters' appearance.

Armor Tailoring
- Find an item with a desired appearance.
- Find an item with desired stats that cover the same slots as the first item. The coverage must match before the items can be tailored.
- See Armor Coverage for details on the coverage of most loot armor.
- Most loot armor which covers multiple slots can be reduced to a single slot using Armor Reduction Tools.
- Purchase an
Armor Tailoring Kit. - Apply the Tailoring Kit to the armor, clothing, or cloak with the desired look.
- Warning: The item is destroyed and converted to an applicator that looks like the old armor icon with a big arrow on it. It is not possible to undo this, so use caution when applying tailoring kits!
- Apply the newly created applicator to the item with the desired stats. The icon and appearance will change to that of the destroyed item while keeping the same stats.
- Tailoring cannot be un-done. However, there is no limit to the number of times an item can be tailored. In this sense, tailoring can be reversed by finding an item with the previous appearance and re-tailoring it.

Armor Reduction Tools
Loot armor pieces that cover more than one slot can be reduced to cover a single slot using special reduction tools sold by the tailors. Multi-slot armor is at a disadvantage to single-slot armor because it limits the total number of armor pieces a character can wear simulataneously. Armor reduction tools allow a player to overcome this disadvantage while still maintaining the appearance of multi-slot armor pieces. Wearing 9 single-slot armor pieces allows the player to maximize the number of active spells and cantrips they are wearing.
All of the reduction tools are sold by the tailors in for 50 MMDs each.
| Item | Uses | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Armor Middle Reduction Tool | Converts two or three slot leggings to cover just upper legs. | Celdon leggings (upper legs, lower legs) convert to cover just upper legs. Amuli leggings (abdomen, upper legs, lower legs) convert to cover just upper legs. |
| Armor Lower Reduction Tool | Converts two or three slot leggings to cover just lower legs. Converts two slot sleeves to cover just lower arms. |
Celdon leggings (upper legs, lower legs) convert to cover just lower legs. Amuli leggings (abdomen, upper legs, lower legs) convert to cover just lower legs. Sedgemail Leather sleeves (upper arms, lower arms) convert to cover just lower arms. |
| Armor Main Reduction Tool | Converts three slot leggings to cover abdomen. Converts two, three and four slot upper body armor to cover just chest. Converts two slot sleeves to cover just upper arms. |
Amuli leggings (abdomen, upper legs, lower legs) convert to cover just abdomen. Platemail cuirass (chest, abdomen) converts to cover just chest. Chainmail shirt (chest, abdomen, upper arms) converts to cover just chest. Scalemail hauberk (chest, abdomen, upper arms, lower arms) converts to cover just chest. Sedgemail Leather sleeves (upper arms, lower arms) convert to cover just upper arms. |
Simply apply the reduction tool to the piece you want to reduce. Like tailoring, this action is non-reversable, so use caution when reducing!
Armor Reduction Tools and Tailoring
- The appearance of single slot armor may be tailored to reduced items of the same coverage. For example, applying a Yoroi Breastplate onto a reduced Amuli Coat (3 slot reduced to Chest).
- You can also do the reverse and tailor a reduced item onto a single slot item of the same coverage that has not been reduced. For example, applying reduced Alduressa Leggings (3 slot reduced to Abdomen) onto a Girth.
- You can even tailor a reduced item onto another reduced item by doing step 2 (a store bought item will work) and then tailoring that second piece onto the the item with the desired stats.
Armor Layering Tools

_Icon.png){kind=icon}
Because you can now have armor items that do not offer protection over areas that they cover visually, it is possible for other items to override this visual display or to be hidden by it. You can alter specific armor pieces so that they either are displayed or are hidden by using either an Armor Layering Tool (Bottom) or an Armor Layering Tool (Top). These tools cost 1 MMD and can be purchased from one of the tailors listed above.
Use the Top tool to make a piece override other pieces, use a Bottom tool to revert a piece to its default position.
Notes and Special Cases
- You cannot tailor a piece of armor that is Retained, i.e. has had Leather Salvage applied to it. You may use Sandstone Salvage to remove the retained property before tailoring.
- There is no limit to the number of times a piece of armor can be tailored.
- When tailoring quest shields with particle effects, the shield itself will change but the old effect may appear to remain. This is fixed after re-logging.
Displaying Headgear and Cloaks
While not technically tailoring, an option was added to allow you to not display your headgear and cloaks. It is toggled via the Character Options panel with check boxes called "Show Your Helm or Head Gear" and "Show your Cloak".
