Durability loss

The following situations tin reduce an item's durability:

Beingness in combat at all will cause all equipped items to gradually lose immovability, regardless of whether any damage is taken or dealt.
There is a small risk with each striking by your weapon that information technology will lose ane durability point.
At that place is a pocket-sized risk with each spell cast that you will lose 1 immovability point to your weapon.
In that location is a small-scale chance with each hit captivated by your armor that it will lose ane durability indicate.
When you die, x% durability is lost on all equipped items (that take a durability rating). This is 10% of maximum durability, not remaining durability. You volition non lose ten% durability on decease if y'all are killed in PvP combat by another player (if a PvP flagged guard or other NPC kills y'all, you still lose durability) or if your expiry is suicide through using an particular or spell that kills you (this excludes environmental damage, such as falling) or if the death is due to an encounter'due south mechanic (like tanking Steelbreaker with him dying as the concluding member - Meltdown).

Depression durability

From Blizzard: "Items remain at full effectiveness until they have no durability. Their power does not dethrone."^[1]

When the immovability on a specific detail drops below 25%, a pocket-sized stick effigy (looks like an armored soldier) appears below the Mini-Map and the corresponding role of the stick figure (head, shoulders, breast, etc.) appears in yellow.

When the durability on a specific detail reaches 0%, the respective role of the stick effigy (caput, shoulders, chest, etc.) appears in red. In one case the durability of the item reaches 0%, the actor tin can nevertheless wear or wield the item, but he does not receive any stat benefits (stats, resistances or armor). If a weapon breaks though, you fight as if unarmed. Items cannot permanently break!

Note: if the cleaved item is a set item, the set bonuses will still exist agile.

Calculation

The numbers presented in the previous department can likewise exist calculated reasonably well using the following formulae.

Armor

For all 20 possible combinations of type and quality, this formula correctly calculates the immovability:

Durability = 5 x round(25 10 Cquality x Ctype)

With Cquality and Ctype according to these values:

Cquality values
Quality	Cquality
legendary	1.76
ballsy	one.43
rare	i.20
uncommon	1.00
common	1.00
poor	1.00

Ctype values
Slot	Ctype
manus/waist/wrist	0.32
anxiety	0.44
shoulder/caput	0.55
legs	0.66
chest	0.92

Weapons and Shields

There is a similar formula that tin can exist used to calculate the durability of weapons and shields which correctly calculates the immovability for all weapons, except for ballsy two-handers and shields, for which the value is 5 points too low:

Durability = 5 x circular(17 x Cquality x Cwtype)

With Cwtype according to these values:

Cwtype values
Type	Cquality
wand, dagger, fist weapon	0.65^{[w 1]}
bow, crossbow, gun	0.79^{[due west 2]}
1h-axe, 1h-sword, 1h-mace	0.9
shield, staff, polearm, 2h-mace, 2h-sword, 2h-axe	1.00

^ Some wands employ a Cquality value of 0.9.
^ Some items use a Cquality value of 1.00.
