Aside from the aggressive responses, I am indeed aware that these items degrade quickly. My point was that they shouldn't. I have actually decided to level Goldsmithing up to at least 30 now as tonight, through 3 Behests, my new Anathema broke 3 times. I am one level under the required rank for it, and it was actually going down 2-4% per shot fired (with whatever the bolt thing is called that builds TP).

Honestly, this is just silly, yes I was 1 rank under for this weapon, but it still has no reason to fall apart like a soggy tissue.
