Desert heat

The desert heat is the effect that a player suffers while in the Kharidian Desert south of Shantay Pass. The heat causes players to suffer dehydration, and to lose health if they do not drink from a waterskin. Wearing desert clothes helps to keep a player cool, and reduces the player's need to drink water as often. If a player's waterskins run out of water while they are in the desert, the desert heat will begin to hit damage on the player until they either die, get water from a cactus or other source, or leave the desert.

Desert Clothes
The desert clothes consist of a shirt, robe, and boots. These clothes are completely white, and closely resemble Druid robes. They help to protect against desert heat, but they only minimize the effects, and a player will still need to drink water. Desert clothes are strongly recommended as an alternative to armour, as metal will heat up quickly and harm a player.
