ok i have experienced this on the repairs i made in the last few weeks:

I have a piece with say 37500/50000 condition
i repair the armor and it ends up with 37000 some condition. The condition AFTER repair is less than condition BEFORE repair, whats the point???

is this broken too? or "working as intended"

Well, since protection doesn't degrade with condition anymore (at least the numbers on the armor don't change), I guess you could go much longer before repairing your armor. Now whether letting condition dwindle down to 1k affects your success rate, I don't know. We never knew that for sure before the CU any way.

Does anyone know if repair/Armor repair tapes are still broken/ineffective in the game?

It varys depending on the result you get, the message you get gives you an indication what to expect when you examine. I repaired a helm and leggings last night. Got a "minor blemishes" message and the leggings were upto near freshly crafted condition. The helm got a "repaired but condition reduced message" and I got the same result as you, slightly less condition after repair.


I would say its not working as it should, but to be honest repair has been bugged for nearly 2 years so I don't expect it to get fixed anytime soon

yah, but its a very slim chance that its hitting minor blemishes, i have +7 armor repair and crafting master and even then i hit it rarely.

It looks like repair works the same as it ever did.


DON'T repair something that's not been damaged very much. You get the results as described above. The repair will do more damage than was already there.
