Template:Item durability
There is item durability (item decay) in Ashes of Creation.[1]
- Item durability loss occurs on death.[2][3][4]
- Over enchanting an item comes with the risk of durability loss if a safety margin is exceeded.[3][6][7]
- Materials are required in order to repair restore the performance of decayed items.[2][3][8][9]
- Zero percent durability will unequip an item, increasing its repair costs.[10]
The decay system is not going to be some worthless "Oh I'm just going to throw some gold into this and it's a simple gold sink". It's actually going to require some base materials in order to repair decayed items; and decay occurs from death and also the destruction and disable system. For the weapons over the over-enchanting will require those materials as well. So creating that dependency I think is healthy for the crafting economy.[3] – Steven Sharif
There is durability in the game... It's not going to be a trivial durability. There is a potential to destroy gear (weapons and armor), but there is also an ability to reforge that destroyed gear using a portion of the materials necessary as well as finding an item creator who can reforge it.[1] – Steven Sharif
