When your clothing reaches 0 / 0 guess what happens...... nothing..


You still have your clothing.. You can wear it.. remove it.. put it back on.. Just like when it was 1000/1000


So decay, which was marketed as a something to help tailors, does absolutely nothing.

Don't know about BE clothing yet. I'm going to decay a piece and let you know.

Thanks SOE!

Well clothing is not like a weapon that decays down to 0 and then only does 1 point of damage not sure what happens yet when a piece of armor decays down to 0 but would image it stops absorbing damage.

Yes when armor decays to 0 it stops absorbing damage. When a weapon decays it does crap damage.. When clothing decays it.... still clothes.


I think you generally missed the point of my post.

I think people just don't know yet.. and once they do figure it out we can kiss our additional sales due to Decay down the drain.

You know, I had a suspicion this would turn out to be the case. Yet again, a perfect example of how poorly thought out and implemented so many game changes have been. Not that I'm complaining, because I'm not a fan of the current decay and I'm happy to see that it's totally useless, at least for clothing.

Actually, this isone of the funniest things I've heard all day... in that hysterical sort of "oh my god I can't believe how stupid this is, it's totally rediculous but par for the course" kinda ways.

Has skill attachments (Not BE clothing) ever worked? I quit trying a long time ago.

yes skill attachments started workinga patch or so ago. Not sure if the skill would still be there at decay 0 but would think it would work like weapons and armor and quit working and jut be plain clothing.

So if there is a clothign attachment on a 0/0 clothing will it still add the enhancement when worn?

I don't care if the clothes still exist, but they should be unequippable. That would let people keep any clothing that they just want to decorate their houses (not that they couldn't just take the clothes off with 1 point of condition left).


Man I'm sick of this whole decay thing. I'm starting to believe that they'll never implement it how we actually want it done. Or in a way that's truly helpful. This is just discouraging.

So has anyone been able to corroborate this? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else, but if we're certain it's true and clothing remains fully usable after decay without poofing it's something we should warn out customers about. I'd hate to see people wasting money on insurance and clothing repair tools for nothing.

yes its true i had a metal bikini that had worn down prety badly so i decided to repair it and i failed the mesege told me the item was useless but its at 1/1 and i can still wear it. Now i know that part of the reasoning for implimenting decay was to spur the economy and generate more sales for crafters...so i role play it since the game mechanics dont actulay destroy used up items and i went and bought a new bikini even though i didnt actualy have to ...i would have made my own but i havent goten that far in the tailor skill tree..



so decay helps sales for armorsmiths and thats about it...the new decay dosent effect weapons but the do decay over time with use.....same with armor but now it decays faster......weapons once decayed become wall ornements .....armor becomes clothes (not sure if the encumbrance penalty stays after armor decay) and clothes......well they're still clothes if only everybody role played it as i do and figured if my shirt is at 1/1 it must be a tattered rag right time to buy more......but no most see it as...."cool i can still wear it forever and ever"



PLEASE DEVS lets make decayed clothes disapear.......yes that may mean you wake up in the clone center in your undies big deal. half the folks i see run around in thier boxers any way in protest of the decay...


oh and if im insured i still lose 5% lets fix that too purdy please
