Creating topics is hard. I’ve attempted to post this several times and now it says my topic titles already exists even though they don’t… 😀
Before I start, a few assumptions I’ve made:
– Bad repairs (“your careless work makes it a little weaker.”) reduces item’s max durability with at least 1 point.
– Exceptional repairs (system message saying something about improving the quality of the item) increases item’s max durability with about 1 point.
– When you have reduced an item’s durability far enough with bad repairs it will have very low max durability and thus turn orange-named VERY fast and eventually break completely as you repair it increasingly often and eventually reduce it’s max durability to 1 or 0.
Is there any way to restore an item’s durability other than hoping for the rare cases of “exceptional repairs”?
I have a one-handed weapon that breaks down into the orange-name range in a couple of dungeons’ worth of hunting (after latest update, was even faster before) and I’ve had pretty bad luck repairing it compared to other items. As lv5 crafter with 150 bs and 150 lore every attempt.
Is this just supposed to be a natural item decay? Or could maybe exceptional repairs be a bit more common for high level crafters? Or some other way to repair max durability maybe.
For GM weapons I think it’s not really an issue because you will likely find a replacement long before the durability runs out, but for exceptionally rare random-affix rolls I’m not sure…
