Repairing

Basic Info

• As you wear an item that can be equipped, usually its durability will be used up. The only way to recover durability is to have the item repaired by the proper NPC. It costs money to repair.
• You can either choose to repair an item for all of its lost points, or for 1 point at a time.
• NPCs can fail to repair an item; their success rate is fixed and will be revealed to you when selecting the item to be repaired.
  • When a repair fails, the item's max durability decreases by 1. There is currently no way to recover maximum durability except with certain item upgrades.
  • To increase your odds of a successful repair, it is recommended that you bless your item by using a Holy Water of Lymilark on it. Holy water reduces the chance of failure by half.
    • The blessing will be removed if a repair fails.
    • Therefore it is recommended to repair point by point, so that if it fails, you can re-bless the item.
  • Weather has no effect on success rates.
  • If you're really attached to a particular item or items that can be repaired, such as your armor or weapons, it is generally recommended to choose an NPC with a higher repair success rate so that your item will last longer. However, it will increase the repair costs.
  • On the bright side, if the NPC fails, you won't be charged for the repair.
• Note that some items, like Signs and many event items, cannot be repaired. Also, Spirit Weapons (excluding Eiry, the beginner weapon) have an entirely different repair method.
• Also, see the Repair Guidebook, Nexon's in-game book on repairing.

Repair Costs

• Repair costs are based on the the value an NPC would sell the item for and the type of item it is.
  • For example, a Light Armor costs less to repair than a Sword that has the same NPC price.
  • The NPC selling price can be checked by viewing the item in a trade window.
  • All items, even ones that aren't sold by an NPC, have an NPC price (the NPC price can usually be estimated by multiplying the Resell value at full durability by 10).
  • All items of the same kind will have the same repair costs, regardless of whether it was monster dropped or bought under the Wednesday daily effect and/or Alliance discounts.
    • However, items with enchants that modify repair costs will violate this rule.
• Repair costs increase at the NPCs who have a higher success rate; you'll have to find your own balance between success rate and repair cost.

Repair Tips Applying Holy Water of Lymilark to an item increases its chance of successfully repairing by halving the failure rate. One point repairs allow for you to reapply Holy Water of Lymilark to bless an item in the case of a "failure" Avoid repairing at Ferghus and Elen. Edern will repair with a much higher success rate but at a costly expense depending on the weapon/armor. Nerys, Osla, and Nicca are better than Ferghus but are not as good as Edern. Repair costs are also at a moderate level. The same applies for other NPC's. Types of Repair No NPC will repair all items available in the game. Only one to a few NPCs will repair any one type of item and these NPCs are grouped together by the items they are prepared to repair. Note that, although a specific item can be repaired by more than one NPC however their success rate may differ. The type of repair done by an NPC is usually related to their occupation, however, this is not always true. Effie is the only NPCs that does two types of repairs, Tailor Repairs and Miscellaneous Repairs, where she has a 98% success rate for both. The following applies to the repairable items lists for each type of repair. If the majority of a group of items use a certain type of repair then that group is considered to use that type of repair. Any items in that group which use another type of repair are listed as exceptions and items that cannot be repaired at all are ignored. Tailor Repairs Tailor repairs are for most equipment items that are not accessories or magical equipment and are generally believed to require a tailor, more than anything else, to repair. An NPC's occupation does not need to be a tailor to do tailor repairs, for example, Effie and Nora can do tailor repairs but neither's occupation is a tailor.
