Repairing an item will use one durability for each point of condition lost, plus one for the repair itself. Many items (especially higher end items) have durability above 100 Aika gold, so you may be able to repair it several times before it shows visible durability loss. The quality of an item never changes.

Dye merchants sell dye (for cloth and cloaks), leather dye (for leather), and enamel (for studded, chain and plate) and each piece of your armor may be tinted individually.
In addition to the store-bought dyes, there are unique dyes that can be crafted by an Alchemist, and applied to any armor and most cloaks.
