Gear Durability
Gear Durability, also known as just durability, is a mechanic where items will no longer increase a player's stats once it reaches zero.
Durability is reduced by getting KO'd (2% durability), completing dungeons, completing fates, crafting, and gathering.
The general action Repair allows Disciples of the Hand to increase durability of gear up to 10 levels above them by 100%. This can increase durability above 100%, but gear can only be repaired when it is below 100% and requires dark matter:
- Grade 1 to 6 dark matter can be used to repair gear up to a level equal to its grade times 10.
- Grade 7 Dark Matter can be used to repair gear up to level 80
- Grade 8 Dark Matter can be used to repair gear up to level 100.
Each DoH class can only repair some gear, depending on what material the gear is made from - this is noted in the gear's description. The player does not need to switch class to perform a repair.
Mender NPCs can repair gear at the cost of gil, but only up to 100% durability. The cost scales depending on the amount of durability gained.
