Dealing with Brittle

[Andyf]

Hello,

Just curious if it is better to be vigilant in repairing brittle items or if it's better to allow them to drop low and take the guaranteed loss.

Excellent question. I think it depends on how much you like the piece, how often you need to repair other pieces, and how low of durability you are comfortable with. I have a couple of brittle pieces in my suit that I don't want to lose. However I only repair them when doing the rest of my suit. Their durablity is higher than the rest, so I really don't check them.

So it seems like you just take the guaranteed dura loss and ride out the item. Thanks!

That is pretty much it. I do make note of the mods they have so if i find another piece i store it.

IIRC somewhere around 30 damage, even the healthiest items are almost 100% to lose a point of durability. And even 1 point down has a chance of losing that point on repair.

So, you're probably better off using it down to low double digits, and repairing.

if u let it get down too low or at 0, u may fail multiple times trying repair an item with a deed before it gets repaired, and lose a point of durability each time u fail.
