Greetings!
I am hoping this has a trivial answer and I will laugh for not knowing it already, but it was pretty frustrating to get the materials to repair the WoP and not bein able to do it.
I filled my pockets with the suggested materials, grabbed my Repair Hammer, but still I was not able to repair the Purge-surviving Wheel of Pain.
True, their difference is their durability only. In pve servers I never repair, unless I want to change decor, mostly I let the time do it alone . It’s true about the wheel, any interaction can be done while it’s not working.
The greatest mistake I did on wheels was to try to remove the taskmaster at the time it was taming, somehow I reset the taming to zero and I was . You can put a taskmaster, while it doesn’t have, you can change to higher tier, don’t try anything else… it hurts .
I had a similar issue.
In the end i could never ever repair this wheel.
if someone encounters this issue as well, better destroy and replace or simply not care about it at all.
