Dyed Sirenic armor does degrade over time. However, it degrades differently compared to regular Sirenic armor. Dyed Sirenic armor has 100,000 charges of combat before it becomes completely degraded and turns into a broken state. This is different from regular Sirenic armor, which degrades to a broken state after 60,000 charges of combat.
To repair dyed Sirenic armor, you will need to use Sirenic scales. These scales can be obtained by killing creatures in the Heart of Gielinor or by purchasing them from other players. Repairing dyed Sirenic armor is similar to repairing regular Sirenic armor, as both require the use of scales. However, dyed Sirenic armor will need more scales for repair due to its higher charge count.
It’s worth noting that dyeing Sirenic armor does not affect its degrade mechanics. The only difference is the appearance and the number of charges it has before becoming completely degraded. Dyed Sirenic armor still degrades in the same way as regular Sirenic armor, losing charges with each combat action performed while wearing it.
In my personal experience, I have used dyed Sirenic armor during high-level bossing encounters in RuneScape. The aesthetic appeal of having a unique and vibrant armor set was a major factor in my decision to dye my Sirenic armor. However, I also had to consider the increased cost of repairing the dyed armor due to its higher charge count.
Having dyed Sirenic armor allowed me to stand out among other players and added a sense of personalization to my character’s appearance. It made me feel more confident and unique during boss fights. However, I had to keep a close eye on the number of charges remaining to ensure that I repaired it in a timely manner and avoided it becoming completely degraded.
While dyed Sirenic armor offers a visually appealing alternative to regular Sirenic armor, it still follows the same degrade mechanics and requires regular repairs using Sirenic scales. It’s important to weigh the benefits of the unique appearance against the additional cost and upkeep required when deciding whether to dye your Sirenic armor.
