Damaged weapons and armours

[duallifes]

I dont like idea of damaged gear the way its now presented.
I find it too much hassle to run all the way from ie. Scaradon(btw. I absolutely love the place) caves to nearest smith in middle of grinding level or 10.
Its enough that I have to run to get more bonemeal potions since I am too poor to buy 1000 of em in one time

But if you want to implement damaged weapon/armour, I recommend making it so that random drops from monsters (excluding 100% drop items from bosses and so.) drop as prefix "damaged".
Meaning they are useful(ie. prefix gives 50% penalty to all positive effects?) only when you repair them at nearest smith and after that they do not require fixing.
Also the prefix could be rusty, dented, broken, torn depending on the item. Ie leather armours could be torn, weapons dented, metallic armors damaged or rusty.

I like this idea better, but am still not really much of a fan.

Two things:
Wear off could occur in several steps, so that items do not become useless from one fight to the other.
Also the wear off should be evenly, so that one can estimate how long it will take until the item has to be repaired.

Ditto on that.

Great minds my friend, great minds.

reminds me of the old Druaga games...

weapon fatigue works well in certain games...
like if all the dungeons were random, etc.

see the Druaga link if you're bored - dem's ROOTS son!!!

If equipment can take damage, there would almost have to be smithing skills for the pc... Could be a use for junk items... No smithing skills = 20% chance to fix ... Et cetera et cetera... The real plus for this would be adding ability to upgrade weapons, however... Imho

+1 totally agree. If damaged/worn equipment ever was implemented, I think a smithing skill would be a must.
