10% gear durability is not enough to complete a full dungeon run.

Steps:
1. Go into the instance with ~13% gear durability.
2. Fight enough enemies to get your gear to 10% and receive the notification.
3. Your gear will break completely before you make it to the last boss, making the notification worthless.

I'm sure quite a few people have had this happen. You spend all day grinding CM or WP or AK, and at the start of a run, you get this message:

The condition of your <gear> is now 10%.

The first time this happens, you figure, "Oh, I'll just repair when I leave!" Except 9 times out of 10, that last 10% isn't enough to get you the rest of the way through. Just now, I had to leave a CM instance because my sword and shield broke on the Magitek Colossus Rubricatus fight. The problem is, I got the 10% notification just after the first boss. If 10% isn't enough to clear a dungeon, there needs to be another alert at 20% or 30% so I don't stumble into an instance with gear that might as well be broken despite not getting any notification.

Indipendently from the alerts rate, you should just check your equip before running a dungeon. A little of common sense… If you'll die a lot in the next run no alert will save you from having a broken quip.

not a bug. Broken gear is broken gear. Please make sure you check your gear condition before going back into a dungeon at ~13% condition...

This might better fall under the suggestion section. "I think 10% gear durrability warning warns too late. It would be better to get a warning around 15% - 20%."

more like 50%

just make it a habit to check your equipment before queuing from now on
