Ok, can master weaponsmiths totally repair a weapon, or the only things that they can do is create the weapon fix things? Cause I have a weapon I want to be totally restored if it is at all possible. Thanx

Master Weaponsmiths only get a bonus to repairing a weapon....I dont think theirs a full repair, the best you can hope for is "minor blemishes" which is only a few durability off.

Master Weaponsmiths have no better chance of repairing weapons, unfortunately. The Weaponsmith bandolier has +5 weapon repair, but this is a broken mod. The only thing you can do to enhance your chances not damaging the condition of your weapon too much is to find the highest quality repair tool possible. 99.8% or higher is what you should be looking for.

I belive several studies over 1,000 weapons have been done in the past proving the fact that WS do have a higher chance....Their all in older forum posts.

Actually I think you will find that the weapons repair bonus weaponsmiths have is less failure and better results throughout the range.
In other words weaponsmiths are a better bet to fix the weapon. Though a perfect repair is near impossible. The devs obviously want it that way. Its part of what makes experimenting condition important.
I have personally noticed that my weaponsmith can do repairs I wouldnt do on my other character. Example the weapon has 3 condition points left. I use it and pull the weapon back to slight blemish. Whenever I try that on my BH guaranteed explosion.

It is to the best of my knowledge that only +repair works, not +weapon repair. So, Force skills seem to work, others do not. This is a well known fact within the community.Although I hate to disagree, I do not beleive a MWS has any better chance of repairing a weapon better than anyone else, because when you look at your skill enhancements in your profession tree bar, the numbers say 0 / +X, meaning that you have no base skills to repair weapons, only added ones.
Ask your trade forums, they will tell you the repair mod is broken and has been for a long time.

Im not talking about skill tapes, its a hidden trait to WS, like the 5% better slices for a Master Smuggler...Do some research on these very ws forums and you'll see.
