Weapons break down to fast.

Looted weapons for me.

 

Are the people noticing damage on the bow playing from melee range more often? Unscientifically, I noticed that my bow would take more damage when melee mobs would come up and hit me. I don't think the damage to the bow is as fast if I can take them down before then.

 

I think I'm at burning down a sword a week now. It would probably be 2 a week if I didn't take a day here and there to gather.

 

My +4 Halberd runs down about twice as fast as the normal Halberd I carry as backup. I tested it the other day and I am getting about 4 hours of game time for my upgraded halberd.

 

Is it based on max durability? Do weapons take damage faster when they have lower durability? It would explain what we are seeing, but seems to be doubly punishing against enchantment items.

 

I've found it be a quite slow process. I haven't used a repair kit yet and I'm in game ALOT. That being said, when I group I heal.
