Weapon damage begins to degrade once your condition hits below 200, approximately. We don't know the exact number/percentage, but around 200 is when the damage will start to take a hit.

Sometimes, you can regain all that lostdamage when your weapon is repaired. Other times, it's permanent. If you want to keep your weapon like it is, it's best to get it repaired sooner than 200 condition.

Thanks, Ace. Good info to know.

As a FYI, I did have the VK repaired, but it onlyfixed it's condition. The weapon stats remained in the state that they were in prior to the repair.

Does anyone know how weapon condition affects weapon performance? I'm asking as I have to look for a new VK now My VK's were originally had a max damage of about 150...with a newweapon condition of about 950 or so. In any case, over time, it's condition deteriorated (as expected) and I never paid it one bit of concern.

But the other day, during a fight, I received asystem on-screen message informing that my VK's condition had deteriorated to 25%. I wasn't too worried as they should still last me at least a month or more before they get to 0% (I don't do much fighting as I'm a merchant by trade). But out of curiosity, I checked it's stats and noticed that my min damage was about 24 and my max was only 35.

So I have quite a few questions that I'd like to defer to your expert knowledge.

1. Does weapon damage degrade over time with degrading weapon condition?

2. Is there a set condition percentage where degrading starts?

3. Assume I know knowthing about weapons, damage, and condition, could someone enlighten me on how this all fits together?

Thanks for the help
