    I lost track of how many times my bow got the message to repair it... to the point I now need to replace it, which I have done way more times then I have my armor . The decay rate on weapons needs to be adjusted, it decays too darn fast ... at least make it decay at the rate the armor does .... NOT FUN

    Not sure if it is just a bow issue or not, but I have used the same weapon for 3 weeks now, repairing it every time it drops to 28/30 and it is still full durability.. I only have weapon preservation skill to 40 and locked there as well.

    This is definitely an issue specifically with bows. Other weapons do not decay nearly as fast.

    I am still using my first bow since persistence.
    The trick is: don't use auto attack

    @DarkStarr Any chance we can get someone to take a look at bow decay vs decay on other weapons? :)

    Stop auto-attacking.

    Guess thats the problem.
    You are fiering too often.
    Ofc it's still a bug, just trying to find you the right workaround ^^

    Stop telling them our secrets!

    I also dont use auto attack, and while the bow is bad, its still manageable.
    Also helps if you dont go past +9 bows for farming ( 100/100)

    If you count all the attacks per rapid fire ( 8 per skill use ) plus how fast it auto fires.. im willing to bet its on par with sword decay per swing.

    Rapid fire + auto attack = broken bow
    Charge your stuff.

    Edit since reading rest of posts realizing its uncelar - Not charging to full draw = auto attacking.

    I've just been building high dura bows, and auto attacking away. current bow is 130 dura + stats. Have only repaired it once since changes went in.

    Well, that's an alternative.
    I must admit it never occured to me, lol!

    Ya I never liked seeing 30 dura on items, even before the decay changes, so decided to make them as high dura as I can. Every once in a while you'll get a +1 result that also has a dura bonus... I MW those a two or three times and viola, my "daily driver" I just avoid enchanting them as imho it's not worth the dura hit for the somewhat crappy stats that enchanting yields.

    It will be a fine day when we can put focused stats on an item with different components rather than just 5 silver and "roll the dice!"
