Hey all!


Im not at all an armorsmith i just kinda had a good idea so listen here~ With the (semi) New decay going around its very hard to keep a set of armor up to par, so you must repair it but that risks the chance of breaking a piece and when you spend 350k on a set of armor and the helm and right bracer breaks after half a month thats kinda well~crappy!, so my idea is give armorsmith a skill mod with better repairing of armor so it has less chance of breaking, maybe the max duribility wont go down as much~same thing for weaponsmith and weapons (aint that a pip). please feel free to comment and please reply with what you think.

We've been complaining about this for months now.


The quality of the craft tool also has no bearing on the success of repair either. You have the same chance of repair with a 99.99% rated repair kit as you do with a 1% rated repair kit.


Its funny, but I actually have a better chance of repairing weapons than I do with armor.

Ya, me too. I don't like repairing armor because of this.

As far as anyone knows, nobody has any advantage to repairing armor. I personally stand near an armor crafting station when I repair stuff, but I still fail sometimes, even at master. I broke someones PSG so bad it now has resists of -23000%. Repair is broke, plain and simple.

One of the patches a while back said that if you can craft it, you had "advantages" to repairing it. Nobody knows what this means though.

I've checked the faq but can't find the answer(might be blind)... would having the tech line(at 4) from armorsmithing allow for better repair than joe blow with no skill at all?

i find that repairing armor with a high rated tool makes a massively huge difference, i also use some armor repair tapes which seems to help aswell

I acquired a Sith alter the other day (looks like holocron shards now..whoopeee). Repaired a suit of composite for a friend...7 minor blemishes and 2 reduced condition and nothing destroyed. I plan to pray before that alter from now on anytime I do armor repairs...

I've seen it's a random thing on the repair...If the armor is above 50%, you have a better chance in repairing it. But if it is 50% or lower, you'll either lose durability or kill the piece. But this isn't always true. I had a friend ask me to repair a helmet with 85% left ont he durability, and all i had to hand him back was junk. And that was with a 99%+ repair kit and being Master Armorsmith.


Also, be sure to check the armor before you accept it. I've had several people that wanted me to repair a suit that was at 0/33000. If I see that, I usually tell them to just line their bird cages with it.

Is it me, or does repairing armor that you yourself crafted have less failures than repairing other smiths armor?

i don't think PSG's are really repairable...never really heard of anyone repairing one..everytime i've tried i've gotten negatives...and quickly thrown it away..afraid i might use it on accident...

It's not impossible to repair psg's, I have repaired a few before. The problem with trying to repair psg's is that with the low max condition that the time most people realize they need to fix it is when the condition is at 0...0 condition = RIP.
