I did a moderate test on Durability and Antique items appear to be maxing out at about 60 Durability per hour loss... I didn't think to look at the rest of my suits starting durability to get a base point but Antique is probably 2x durability loss if I had to guess. I did a combination of some peerless & Covetous fighting & the character was a sampire in VvV with an Antique Cinture. The Crismson Cinture loss ~ 180 Durability in the 3 hrs 15 minutes of time but I was actually only in direct combat for probably 3 hours of that. (parry character too and not so much spell casting on me)... I definately wouldn't consider using a weapon or shield that's Antique ... but possibly Armor / Jewels with another test to confirm....I know that antique armor cant be enhanced so I just lost alot of interest in these antique stuff, I know this is a piece of jewelry but I was just letting ya'll know for the antique armor. Besides that well I havent tested the durability lost of antique stuff, so I cant really help you price this piece
Bleh.....I hate that you brought that up simply because I hope they wouldn't make Antiques in such a weird and broken fashion....but you never know till you test...Easy test though... flag a monster sit on your house and wait....Thats a point. However, it is a question if the dura-loss only depends on inflicted damage or on time in combat. If it depends on inflicted damage, pieces for mages or chars using ranged attacks should be fine. They would last forever. If it depends only on the amount of time a char is actively in combat (while not receiving damage), these pieces are utter crap (=ephemeral).
Any hints?
From the patch notes:Can you use PoF on antique stuff?
Can you use PoF on antique stuff?
just powered an antique. 1 charge of powder brought it from 255 to 200From the patch notes:
Antique – Increased durability loss, can be powdered 3 times. Each powder will reduce max durability to 250, 200, and 150 respectively. Can be repaired.
So you could wear/repair/wear until its down to like 75/75 then powder - be back up to 200. Then do that again....powder, to 150. Then do it again to get to 100.just powered an antique. 1 charge of powder brought it from 255 to 200
