yeah some items deteriorate very fast. my fire brand even though i am only 3 lvls below the optimal i just started using it when i hit 40 and even though it's a 43 i can run 2 leves and then i gotta repair it. some items seem to never get damaged no matter what ya do to it. i was just saying some items are exceptions and those should be fixed.

Maybe it has to do with Material? My wands (branches) break like no ones business even if I am in the right range. Whereas my Iron Maurader weapon needed to be fixed about... 4 times maybe less, from 35-40.

They also break down more if you are going against shelled mobs like crabs.

Thats kinda cool if that is truely how the system works, would explain why his scale mail got lightly scuffed in 34 lvls and my t-shirt got swiss cheesed in like 2 lvls. >.>

maybe, but why would a silver brand break down if it was not physically hitting anything that fast. just sayin some items you can run 30 levels on and never get gear damage, but some need it everytime you move. i think the repair rate on some should be lowered and some should increase.

Do you have a YG link to the item? Silver Brand isn't bringing anything to mind.

was referring to the fire brand from my post above my response because it uses silver in the synth. was responding to maybe the materials were the reason for the severe damage the weapon took. silver is the material it takes to repair is why i used the statement silver brand. sorry should have been more specific.

Fire Brand

Seems to use an Antelope Horn as the base item. Not very sturdy. Antelope Horn is listed under Bone, and Bone items (at least the ones I've used) break like no ones business. So perhaps that's it?

no i was referring to if it is not hitting anything physically. i know if i hit something bone would really mess up fast. i was just using it as an example since the repair mat is silver also. i guess they say the silver breaks, but the horn stays in tact idk lol.

Magic is based on Aether no? Which in my mind is like sending energy voltages through something. Sending that through Silver and Bone it should break down fast. Same for wood....
