Thread: weapons repairing
You pretty much need to be able to make that item to repair that item. I did repair a pair of my Vibroknucklers when I was only a box away from being able to make them though, and only had slight blemishes. But you may want to seek out Master Weaponsmiths to repair your stuff... that and a good tool should about guarentee a fairly decent repair. Also, ifyou use weapon powerups... a few of us noted that we get better repair successes if you remove the powerup before the attempted repair.

Suposedly a master weaponsmith has a better chance of repairing a weapon than your average joe.
However the thing can still blow up in your face even if you are a master.
DOH! just realized I was in the weaponsmith fourm and not in the Gorath forum.
Anyway if you are on gorath I can help you, if not sorry.
I'm a master WS, and I generally don't mind doing the occasional weapon repair, if I'm not too busy with anything else. It's not like it takes a ton of time... just gotta have a repair tool on you. Always state up front that there is a chance of failure... nothing is ever guaranteed. I charge 2K per repair, regardless of weapon or condition, and I tell them that if the weapon itself isn't worth significantly more than 2K, they're probably better off just buying a new one. I also don't charge if it fails.
All that being said, and keeping in mind that I haven't extensively read these forums, I can now confirm that on three occasions, my repairs have actually *increased* the damage on the weapon. Last night I made absolutely sure to note the starting values on a set of vibroknucklers. The damage was 38 - 188. I stood near my crafting station (as I've heard rumors that being near one may help), crossed my fingers, and clicked. It was repaired with only minor blemishes. And when I looked at the numbers, sure enough, the damage had increased to 39-192. I was ecstatic, especially considering the weapon was down to around 150/950 condition. My customer was quite pleased too and tipped me an extra 3K. It was a nice experience all the way around, and it helped me earn a loyal customer in the process.

Wow, the guy who just walked away from you was pretty rude!
If you're on Sunrunner, contact Alochae. I carry repair tools on me, and I'm always happy to repair. Even if I'm busy, I can do it - you'll just need to come to me, is all.
Cheers,
