Repairing with a repair kit now damages the weapon or tool or armour to reduce the durability. I guess that was from an update.
Is there a way with a certain type of T4 crafter or station you can repair that total durability loss? For example I’m out of base and repair a tool so then it drops total uses by 10%, can I put it in a tinker bench with a certain thrall and the right materials and recipe to make it good as new again? So far I haven’t found a way by experimenting.
Sadly not. I wish we could, and even suggested being able to do so this way when the beta version was up. I no longer use repair kits because of this change.
Throw your gear into a Garrison bench (50% cost reduction) and repair it in there. No durability loss, its very cheap, and works on broken gear as well.
Exactly. Don’t use field repair kits for stuff you want to keep using, unless you’re in a hurry and absolutely need that weapon or piece of equipment working.
I use repair kits only for looted stuff with less than 100 % durability that I want to use for illusions. Illusions don’t care what the max durability is, only that the current durability is at 100 % of the current max.
