If I understand right, insurance doesn't prevent decay upon death, it just reduces the penalty from 5% to 2% decay.

Please feel free to move this butI thought it best go with "items and loot"

Recently (and I think since the CU but that could be coincidence), I have noticed that when I die, even If I have paid insurance I get decay on my items. In fact so far since the CU I have lost a pair of comp boots and a comp helmet. I do get insurance but at the time of cloning it seems to run out and I get decay.

A week ago I had a conversation with a guild mate after I had lost the boots. I told him I thought it must be a bug or somethihng as I had insurance. Anyway so I go and reinsure but then 3 days later, I end up dieing (got unlucky whilst riding swoop on Talus) again and when I awake as a clone, I find that all my items have decayed and my helmet is no more.

Am I missing something here? Does Insurance have to be topped up every week or is it limited to whichever planet you bought it on. Or is this an issue and if so has anyone else had any probs like this.

Thanks

I have been dying alot lately, due to the CU, and testing skills and whatnot.I check insurance regularily, but also have never had any decay so far post CU. ive insured on one planet and died on another once, didnt seem to be an issue.

before you get into a dangerous situation, check for the (i) on your items. im thinking that you are corect that Insurance may simply last a predetermined amount of time, before expiring, or maybe goes faster on a death.

not a real answer, just my two-cents

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'm just going to have to be more careful in future. Its a shame though cos I've bought several skill tapes and armor attachments and as far as I can see there is no way to remove them from a broken pice or armor.

Related to this - I wanted to repair a pice of broken armor (condition 0) so I bought a 97 functionality rating tool but I couldn't fix the armor (it just got worse). I asked a master armorsmith if he could do it but he said that he uses the same tool and has no bonus to using it. However, i have noticed skill tapes out there that improve armor repair skill so is what the armorsmith saidright? Is it just impossaible to fix a condition 0 item? I thought to repair my other armor so that it dosen't get destroyed next time I have to clone but I'm worried about breaking it.

Sorry lots of questions and I realise that this might be better in the armorsmith forum but its connected to the insurance question.

Zero condition is not fixable. Sorry.

As I understand, your best bet is to fix it before it gets to 50%. I have real bad repair luck, so I tend to just wear or usestuff until it dies.

Insurance reduces decay to 1%. You can tell cuz new items decay to 99%

and armor repair is a broken mod, it was tested, at least pre-CU. I think only FS repair does anything, if that even

Oh, and some clothes are taking damage... I had a brand new cloak hit 0 pretty darn quick when the CU came out. I dunno if they fixed that, as I'm no longer tkm and actually wear armor when fighting
