REDUCE DURABILITY ???Follow

REDUCE DURABILITY PLUS 10 PERCENT do anyone know what this stat is on achievement items? I've spent millions thinking it was special to crafting now I see it on all items, I think it's for repair.

Speaking of durability, I really wish they'd add a graphic to show your damaged gear, like in other games. I'm terrible at watching the chat box for durability announcements, or remembering to hit the mender. By the time I realize I should repair, I usually have a few broken pieces.

It's also on the Onion Helm, but I believe that was a North America bonus item for pre-ordering the 1.0 CE, and can't be obtained anymore.

Oh, I know. I meant how, when playing a game like WoW, a graphic would pop up on your HUD showing damaged item slots in yellow (and broken ones in red). It was a constant reminder to repair, when needed (I THINK it was >50% durability when they turned yellow).

Because I'm on the PS3, I tend to play the game very differently than in other MMOs, which generally means an aggressive attempt to not access menus except when needed. If I was on the PC, hitting C really quickly just to check durability would be habit. But my keyboard is usually off to the side outside of groups.

I SHOULD get in the habit of just hitting the mender whenever I'm near one, but I don't have that down yet. I basically repair every time I open the character screen outside of dungeons... But that's pretty rare, since I'm only leveling one class at a time, I'm not really doing endgame stuff, and I only open it when I get drops.

That HUD element is only in the PC version, IIRC, unless there's some way to enable it on the PS3. I do remember being bummed it was missing after trying out the PC version.
