I decided to post this here since you guys are the experts and would probably have some consensus on this.


At what point should you get your weapons reapaired. Should you get it done after it hits 50%? Should you wait till its less than 100 so you got the max use our of the gun or does that increase the chance of a failure and loss of weapon.



PS: Also as a side not is it possible to have a weapon batch that for what ever reason is likely to be unrepairable. I have had many weapons reapired my Master Weaponsmiths and by myself. The only weapon failures were on 2 Sliced Scatter guns a Master Weapon Smith had a critical failure and then the other day I went to find another one that I had got at the same time and same thing. I got 1 left but so far any attempt to repair has been the loss of the weapon.

You chance of successfully repairing a weapon decrease when the condition has reached 25% condition, so repair it right before you hit 25%. Since there is always a chance of a repair failure, you don't want to repair any more often than necessary. Most repairs will result in a loss of max condition on the weapon.

One thing you want to consider when dwindling your weapon to its last bit of life, like the 20-35% condition range, is the increased possibility of the weapon outright breaking.

I hear that it is best to repair at 50% .. though I usually wait till the weapon is like 100/1000 before I repair

Depends on the weapon also.. usually on Krayt weapons or custom "expensive" ones, I recommend around 400/1000 or so, for regular ones I'd say anywhere between 200-300.

Repair you weapon just above 25%. Lower then that the chance increases, above that then you're waisting condition and repairing too often. This is from The Source.
