More wpf in a weapon type will reduce the rate of repairs, also wearing lighter armor will help too
Quote
    For every item you spawn with, you may need to pay upkeep to repair the item at the end of round.
    There is a 4% chance each minute that an item will become damaged and need repairs
    Upkeep cost is 7% of the item's original purchase price
    Dropping equipment SHOULD reduce your chance of having to repair an item.
    Scavenged weapons from the battlefield that do not belong to you do not have to be repaired if you drop them at the end of the round and before the start of the next round.

Yeah 4% chance.. I had it every time. I played for about half an hour and I went from 5x multiplier ~14K gold to 0 gold.

You're really unlucky, as well as losing gold on x5 where you get 250 gold each minute.

Btw bodkin arrows are meant to get repaired quite often. With nearly 400 gold upkeep they can get really expensive. If you need to save gold somewhere, you can use cheaper arrows, e.g. normal arrows or barbed arrows. Their upkeep is low and you get more arrows per stack, at the same time they deal cut damage so they're a bit weaker agains heavy armor guys compared to bodkins, but after all cut is often the better type of dmg. A good deal are Tatars probably.

Unless you loomed your Langes Messer already, there are far better deals with 1h/2h weapons with less upkeep costs and similar stats, such as "Fighting Axe" with 32 cut dmg and only 236 gold repair (or "Mace" with 28 blunt and 295 repair).

As Muki said, you probably need more wpf. If you've put all your wpf points in Archey, you likely repair your bow less. The arrows don't really care about that (afaik), as they get repaired more often anyway and for the 1h you need melee wpf.  :wink:

Well I played on the server 1 day before that with exactly the same gear and the same skillset as I didn't lvl up and it was fine.
Having to repair ~10x in a row is less than 1 out of 100 trillion, which is really unlikely.
Can someone check the logs?

using bodkins and rusbow is REALLY costy. People dont seem to realize that arrows get repaired far more often than normal items.

What can I do now then? I have no other weapons and no money to buy any. If I play naked I will get banned...

Either sell something and then buy a 10 gold weapon or make an alt and play with the peasant equipment you get, and give all the money you get to your archer.

Well, do you equip 3 quivers of arrows? Then you already have a 12% chance on each tick. Congratulations!  :mrgreen:

Are you sure, you get that _every_ round? It often feels this way, but its just your feeling most of the time. I also noticed, that you very seldom have to repair if you're on the winning team. Only when on the losing team, the repairs hit in. What's your WPF in archery?

My gear has max repair/round of 1.672 gold and I'm making constantly money with that - not much, but still increasing.
