Weapon Brackage Question

[dark_wizzie1]

How do weapon breakages occur exactly? My understanding is for armor, taking damage from enemy attacks is what puts armor at risk of breaking (ignoring brod etc). So I can take steps to minimize armor breakage by increasing toughness or wearing enough armor to fully negate normal attacks from enemies, or I can increase breakage by doing the opposite.

 

Do weapons break at a fixed rate? Like: w/ skeptic, a weapon has 1/1000 chance of breaking per attack attempt regardless of what happens in combat? Perhaps it's only when I land a hit and deal damage? Is it also affected or based on enemy attacks (outside of brod)?

 

Bonus question:

And hopefully forums are less of a shitshow than ch6...

Does Rostos r Exp perk work for dailies like a/d xp from Haidir?

 

Thanks

Armor has a chance of breaking when you're being hit.

Weapons have a chance of breaking when you hit something.

 

It's a random chance, how high of a chance depends on the weapon.
Since they break randomly on hitting, the ways to minimize breakage are probably negligible. Astro would affect it, otherwise dunno.

 

 

Yes, Rostos R Exp works for all a/d exp including dailies.

Very helpful, thank you

In addition to what Burn said;

 

Crits have more effect on breakages. If you do crit hits, you tend to break more weapons. So wearing BP cape helps on breaking weapon.

 

For the armor side, mobs that crit more break more armors.
