You can’t, unfortunately.
There inlys the problem. Why spend so much time farming for an item that cannot be repaired? Its like Kings niche why farm it when theres nothing lucrative?
It can be repaired, but not if it breaks completely. This is the same with all legendary armors and weapons. You just have to keep an eye on the durability.
Ty 4 the info. I will quit wasting time on legendary items and stick to using stuff like the havoc and malice then. Stuff that can be repaired. No need in world bosses now either. Simply place legendary items on thralls and not waste time on them.
how about to maintain your stuff before it breaks?
head shaking
Yeah, because when fighting on consoles, I should always open the hot wheel to check my status…
Or for armor, I even have to open the inventory…
If you know you will have a big fight, you either have to apply it way to early or mid-fight… and run away while it repairs.
Or forget it and destroy it in the process (already done that).
Its a stupid mechanic which makes zero sense…
This game has weird penality mechanics… like losing durability on modding.
Maybe create a new Legendary Restore Kit. You can craft it using 10 legendary kits (with T4 blacksmith only 5)
@n2wichita75 - I’ve been using legendary weapons & shields on my character almost exclusively for months in PvE including the Predatory Blade (plus Havoc & Malice for the back flip in heavy armor). Many bosses (Unnamed City, etc.) drop legendary weapon repair kits frequently (and the Fragments of Power you need to make Havoc & Malice… just saying 
), and if you happen to find a certain legendary Lemurian helmet with karma, it repairs any item you are holding while you take damage.
As for the durability on Predatory Blade - it’s pretty damn tough. I’m certain I’ve run through the Unnamed City, killed every boss & mini boss using my bow & Predatory Blade and it’s no where near broken.
… just pay attention to your equipment’s durability bars BEFORE you go on a rampage.
Keeping your weapons in good shape is now a stupid mechanic. And yes, you should keep an eye on the durability of your weapons. What makes more sense? Checking your weapons before battle, or breaking them during battle?
Use a Legendary when it hits around 100 durability, fix it completely, and go about your business.
Stop moaning and whining about it.
I kept the broke weapon and will get it again eventually farming. The game has some weird or interesting mechanics like empty glass flask weighing .10 yet a full flask weighs .05. Complete logic there. Very attentive to detail before release. Sometimes when you apply kits it decreases your durability. And if you been farming and find yourself overencumbered or trying to get out because your out of food water bandages and repair kits. You dont have a choice break it or run back from a spawn point. The volcano can trap you into several opponents or being near the end of a dungeon with nothing left but fight or die. Seems legendary items should be repairable from broke status since you have to be level 60 to even use a key.And especially considering they aren’t able to be dismantled for any material makes them invaluable and useless. Like modern cars 100,000 miles and throw it away. Just my opinion.
Thats wasting them… And yeah, it is stupid to check it all the time. Whats so hard to add an UI symbol when its <10% durability.
Or why are the kits not able to repair them in the first place…
Its a stupid and seneless mechanic and I can complain about whatever I want…
Keep it “nice and civil” guys lol
Most people have chests of legendary repair kits. I check my weapons when I arm them. grab 1 kit for each weapon at half dur.
if you use oils, then you should grab one no matter what. Surviving is planning and balance your supplies for your journey.
The P factor: Pre Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Let me tell you a story that happened to me on a pve server once. I was farming New Asagarth for the frost giant horn once. While i was fighting ymirs daughter to obtain it 3 douchebags came along and started kiting everything they could towards me. I couldn’t stay in the fight, i died. I got back in time to watch them spawn the frost giant right in front of me. Even the most equipped players find things they didn’t plan for. In this game lag and piss poor loading can be the biggest factors. Ever died in a dungeon and loading screen starves you to death again? Or die and return to your base to find everything invisible or floating? Did you plan for that? Somethings aren’t planned for but happen. And if FC aren’t going to fix their issues then they should learn to incorporate counter measures into the game like being able to fix broken items. In my opinion of course. Otherwise its just poor design. Or mechanics if you will.
You’ve never been able to repair legendary weapons after they’ve broken. So. Stop running Legendary’s into the ground and maintain your weapons before they break!
Not my purpose at all. Just pointing out relevant flaws to the design and asking for some kind of solution. Not a rant just my thoughts on my post. I appreciate your input but no negativity is required. If it’s a touchy subject for you then try other subjects or posts. But this is my discussion, not rant. And i’m obviously not the only one who feels this way about Legendary Design.
I appreciate your opinion. But broken legendaries are not the “worse” mechanic. If at all at least ties to some survival strategy.
The fact I can stuff bodies in chests for use at a later time is one of my pet peaves. I feel the survival in this game is lacking significantly. That is why I am okay with maintaining legendary weapons to not break.
The gameplay mechanic is perfectly fine, there’s nothing to change about it. If you break a Legendary weapon how are you supposed to fix it? nobody has Knowledge on how to repair a 1000 year old Legendary Sword of Crom, for that you need Materials and know how to re-forge it. And the whole point of Legendary weapons are they are unique special weapons with a history, The Legendary Repair Kits for weapons are nothing more than Sharpening Blocks, Hence you are supposed to “Upkeep” Them by keeping the durability aka/or Sharpness good, You run any weapon into the ground and the blade is gonna dull, Get Rusted or break/snap eventually and once you break a Legendary well it’s in the history books.
In turn makes it nothing more than a wall ornament. You don’t drive an antique car or ferrari everyday because its to valuable. Priceless even. No worth. Flawless High grade and easier to obtain and most able to be fixed or repaired making them a valuable asset to the game. To many requirements for something invaluable thats has no resource or restoration value. Being able to obtain the knowledge is a great idea! My thoughts exatly. Learning an ancient recipe thru the tablet of knowledge or something. Still remains legendary if you restore it. Now on that note kits shouldn’t be allowed on a Legendary then because its altering or modifiing the Legendary weapon without the knowledge to restore it only fix it other than sharpen its blade and that done incorrectly can damage the value of an object. Realisticly it makes no sense in my opinion. I get legendary items and put them on the wall or thralls, no restoration or resource value make them invaluable and useless and a waste of time. As i’m killing stuff i dispose of them as i can. Unless they find value they sit broke in a box as they’ve always been , invaluable.
Legendary Weapons aren’t Wall ornaments. I always exclusively use them once i have them Flawless High grade Weapons don’t carry stat boosts or other benefits.
I’ve never had a Legendary Weapon break on me, not only do they usually have like 5000 Durability but all it takes is one repair kit to bring it back to full. And if the durability is getting low then i just give it to a thrall.
So what is the issue here?
