Armorsmith Archive

was wearing some armor pants today that had 21K out of 26K condition had just gotten them them today went to repair them.... armor fell apart... so far i have not had any armor last me over a week... and with the prices of armor as high as they are i just cant afford to keep buying good armor every week for my toon... i have to buy low end armor just as something to have... i mean sometimes i dont even have time to repair it the condition drops so fast... went in to kill necrosis with armor fully repair came out with 3 pieces broken... i mean COME ON! but yea i guess you AS like that cause it means more money for you right?

As a matter of fact, having something done about condition and repair would be nice from the AS point of view, too...

Repair is only based off the quality of your tools, and even then is mostly random. Armorsmiths have no bonus to repairing armor.

i beg to differ

I did 50 repairs with my combat toon and had 26 fails

I did 50 repairs with my AS with +28 repair and Force Crafting Repair and had 1 fail.

This means i'm better at repairing as an AS.

Just my own experience .

Thats because you bought tapes for +28 repair, and you have those FS skills. Anyone can get those. You don't have to be an armorsmith. The profession has no innate bonuses to repair.

Armor repair is completely random. With tapes and the FS repair tree one would hope that the chance of repairing "with minimal blemishes" or to not fail completely would be reduced. I personally have not tracked my success or failure as a master AS when repairing armor but I know I have had my share of failures. The concern on armor repair is that (like all other types of repair) there is no "skill" listed anywhere in the skill tree. There is speculation if a novice AS can repair just as good as a master, as a non-as...

With the condition of the armor, it will always decrease. If I start with condition of say 40000/40000 and get "repaired with minimal blemishes", I may end up with armor that is 36kto 38000/38000 condition (completely guessing on the actual number). Note that the max condition is always lower. I advise my customers that on average a piece of armor can be repaired 3-5 times before it is completely useless.

Also, armor that is at 0 of whatever condition cannot be repair (sometimes you get a condition of like 1/1, -142957/142957 or some other weird number). Armor stats (at least pre-cu, haven't checked recently) start to drop at about 50% condition left, this encourages repair. Repairing armor between 25-50% condition is usually a good time since the drop in max condition (when not a failure) is more econimic then using the piece till the condition hits 0.
