What the title says. Your armor would get dirty after many fights (specially in places like the slum, cellar and yard.)

#

you would have an option to clean by giving 5 pfennings to the armorsmith

#

blood stains overtime would cause the armor to rust (because blood is corrosive lol)

on that topic

1450-1455, the Low Countries, KBR 9243 - Chroniques de Hainaut

This source seems to be often overlooked by modern students of medieval military technology, yet it is very important. The scene shows the refurbishment of arms in field conditions: the cuirasses are polished, and the lance heads are sharpened. The latter is performed in two ways - on a large grindstone set on a table, and on a smaller grindstone held in hands.

It would appear as if the armour polishing is done by a professional polisher (it was a distinct occupation back in the day) - we see a soldier waiting to pass his helmet on for the treatment, after the polisher will be done with the cuirass. Note how the cuirass is secure onto the bench with straps.

In contrast, it looks like lance sharpening was a self-service job, as we see fully armed knights engaged at that activity. The military camps must have had such armour maintenance points, where anyone could polish or sharpen, or repair some items when needed.

i think it would be nice if your clothes and armor just got dirty from mud and blood or whatever and it would only be cleaned if you rested or something

#

idk if bro understood my idea but basically I just want dirty armor

#

also I said this so it's not like it would be permanent rust anyway
