Armor starts to lose its resists when it reaches 50% condition, unlike weapons, which start to degrade when condition hits 25%. Therefore it is most advantageous to repair your armor right around the 50% point.


If you can get a Master Armorsmith to repair it, I would highly suggest doing so. As a Master Armorsmith with +25 Armor Repair mods and 99.5 rated tools, I get almost all "good" repairs with the occasional moderate or excellent repair. I honestly cannot remember the last time I totally failed on a repair, and I've repaired dozens upon dozens of pieces, many several times, in the interim. In fact, I'm more likely to dispose of a compositearmor piece because I no longer think it's worth repairing and re-using at 6K condition than I am because I failed a repair.

i recommend 25 to 50%. seems to balance the average loss off the top of the max con and the odds of blowing the thing all to hell

I've been collecting Armor Repair SEAs and modded clothing since the game went live.

Cool, I just thought it was worth noting because thee has been no catagorical evidence (or even word from Devs - that I know of) that states that Armorsmiths have a better chance at repairing armor than anyone else. (Unless of course you have Armor Repair Mods - which anyone could also use.

Around 50-60% would be a good range, I think.
