Every weapon, shield, and piece of armor has the Durability property, which is used to determine how close the item is to breaking or requiring repair. The more Durability an object has, the more time it will take to wear down. The less Durability an object has, the less time it will take to wear down. The Durability property is comprised of two parts: the Current Durability, and the Maximum Durability, both of which are values in the range of 0-255.

Current Durability

The Durability property on an item is displayed as two numbers divided by a forward slash. The number before the slash denotes the Current Durability.

Decreasing Current Durability

The Current Durability on an item is decreased through hitting monsters, animals, or other players, as in the case of weapons, or through being hit by monsters, animals, or other players, as in the case of armor and shields. When hitting or being hit by Slimes or Acid Elementals, an item's Current Durability is lowered at an increased rate. The lowest Current Durability that an item may have is 0.

Increasing Current Durability

Durability on an item is increased by repairing it via Blacksmithy, Tailoring, Bowcraft/Fletching, or Carpentry, depending on the type of item you are trying to repair.

The Current Durability on an item may also be increased during combat through the Self Repair property. The highest Current Durability that an item may have is 255.

Maximum Durability

The Durability property on an item is displayed as two numbers divided by a forward slash. The number after the slash denotes the Maximum Durability.

Decreasing Maximum Durability

The Maximum Durability on an item is decreased through two methods:

  1. There is a chance while repairing an item that its Maximum Durability will be decreased by 1.
  2. When the Current Durability of an item reaches 0 and the item continues to be used without repairing, the next time the item's Current Durability would be decreased by 1, its Maximum Durability is decreased by one instead.
    • Example: An item has the property "Durability 0 / 100" on it. The next time the item takes damage, the property changes to "Durability 0 / 99".

The lowest Maximum Durability that an item may have is 0. When the Maximum Durability reaches this value, the item is destroyed.

Increasing Maximum Durability

The Maximum Durability on an item is increased by applying Powder of Fortifying to it. The highest Maximum Durability that an item may have is 255.
