Basic Information

Durability, as it appears under an item's attributes

Durability indicator that shows up if an item below 20% of its max durability is equipped.

• Every piece of equipment has durability. When durability reaches 0, most equipment cannot be used until repaired. Equipment with 0 base durability, such as Magic Powders and Empty Bottles, can still be equipped.
• Durability is lost through:
  • Usage:
    • All equipment will lose durability over time as the player is hit.
      • Specifically: Every time the player is hit, only one randomly selected equipment will lose durability at a time.
      • The amount of durability lost per hit is independent of the amount of damage received.
      • In terms of body armor: Heavy Armor will lose durability the slowest, followed by Light Armor, and lastly, clothing.
    • In the case of weapons, they will lose durability when attacking, regardless of whether or not the attack is successful.
      • Striking a prop, such as a pole, has no effect on a weapon's durability.
    • Enchanting an item with Holy Flame decreases the durability by 1.5x the normal rate.
• Once a piece of equipment reaches 0 durability, all its effects are ignored until the equipment is repaired.
  • In the case of weapons, its number of hits, attack speed, and splash properties will still be applied.
• The durability of an item will affect its resale value to NPCs: the lower the durability, the lower the resell value; at 0 durability, down to half of its original value.
• Maximum durability can be permanently lost through repairing or an enchanting failure, and cannot be recovered.
• Maximum durability can be increased through certain Upgrades, a Golden Hammer of Durability, a Platinum Hammer of Durability, or an Altered Ferghus's Hammer.

Durability Loss Reduction

• There are four methods to reduce durability loss:
  • Blessing equipment with Holy Water of Lymilark. Blessed equipment reduces durability loss by 50%.
  • Having VIP Premium Service. This reduces durability loss by 25%.
  • The Melody Step effect from a Freestyle Jam reduces durability loss by 25%.
  • Items with a certain Set Bonus can reduce durability loss by 30%.
    • This applies for everything you have equipped while the set bonus is active.
• Bonuses are multiplicative, meaning a total of 62.5% reduced durability loss can be achieved with VIP service on a blessed item.

Durability Loss Rate

• All numbers are based off the assumption of unblessed items and lack of VIP Premium Service.

Usage

• All weapons lose 0.001 ~ 0.030 durability per melee attack.
  • Bash notably uses 0.030 durability per hit.
• Ranged weapons lose 0.001 ~ 0.030 durability per shot and melee attack (e.g. Counterattack, Windmill).
• Wands lose 0.02 durability per spell usage.
  • Durability is lost when the spell is used, not when cast.
    • This means that the durability is consumed when the spell hits the target, not when the spell loads/finishes loading.
