some rough upkeep statistics

[Testicleez]

Very useful, thank you.

Weird though... I only use 30k Gold worth of equipment, and I frequently do not profit after roughly an hour or two of playing. Even when I'm winning the majority of the time, I don't see much of a gold increase. My 2H WPF is 137, so I don't know

[Panoply]

Great work, Mala!

The numbers you're getting pretty much match my mathcraft numbers, so it's great to get that validated.

Breaking items

2h with 154 wpf: 8%
head 15%
gloves 15%
chest 13%
feet 12%

2h: masterwork nodachi

I'm gonna try flamberge for a few rounds with another item with 1wpf

Good, interesting work.

[Fartface]

my advice just is : life with it.
however there are some options to make money.
dont be stubborn and just wear light armor.
instead of danish greatsword use an bastad till ur x3.
get alot of money so u can just wear medium armor and make money over time ,if u have badluck u dont care.
practise and become good player and actualy help ur team winning.
join a clan with good players so banner balance puts u together.

Ok 33 rounds with light strange armor set, flamberge, hunting xbow and quarter staff in inventory.

flamberge broke 9/33 resulting 27%
xbow broke 18/33 resulting 54%
pole broke 19/33 resulting 57%

Conclusions: 1. wpf counts toward breaking chance
                      2. value of item counts toward breaking chance (27% flamberge versus 8% nodachi ) not very sure about this though.

Also inspired by the lovely redhead and her tiny shield, here are my logs.

Interested to see if there was a difference, I played on battle.

Basic information
-100 rounds played 50% win 50% loss exactly
-All games were played on the same server, a small one with 40 to 60 players.
-I did not count the few chadz text appearances and the rounds with imbalance resulting in no multiplier. I counted them as if it was a regular win/loss.
-Being a humble player, I usually have a K/D ratio around 1, that should mean I dont impact too much myself on the statistics.
   
Number of ticks per round
-2 ticks : 4 rounds
-3 ticks : 41 rounds
-4 ticks : 39 rounds
-5 ticks : 11 rounds
-6 ticks : 4 rounds
-7 ticks : 1 rounds

Multiplier
x1 : 41 rounds
x2 : 23 rounds
x3 : 11 rounds
x4 : 6 rounds
x5 : 9 rounds

Results
Theres an average of 3,73 ticks per round
The average multiplier is 1,99

Unfortunatly I couldnt watch my repairs, because I m leveling at the moment and constantly changing gear and WPF. I will do some more samples when I ll reach level 30

Thank you and bump.

Congratz, that(a=1.91) is almost exactly the expected theoritical average multiplier(a=1.9375 for n=100, doesn't change significantly with n>5 though). That assumes that the rounds are played in a row though.
Fun fact: Even with not limiting the maximum multiplier to x5, the expected average multiplier would be very close(a→2 for a big n).

Battle is a bit harder to calculate because of the valour thingy.

[Lech]

The valor is fun, i got it several times yesterday (2h of playing). Also, i gained 3,5k with 48k set all the time. (with red tassel spear 40 wpf pole).

Make sure to actually look up the actual price for each item, the set value includes all heirlooms which means you might only have 30K worth of equipment.

I have only six looms 

7170 armor
6807 1h
7111 helmet
1290 boots
1376 mittens
6185 spear
4227 shield

Damn, still 34k. Set price need to be fixed asap.

And another collection of 100 siege rounds, this time with focus on break chances only.

ragged outfit 15% per round 2.5% per tick
leather gloves 21% per round 3.5% per tick
ankle boots 24% per round 4% per tick
steel buckler 24% per round 4% per tick
steel bolts 14% per round 2.33% per tick
light crossbow (1wpf) 58% per round 9.67% per round
broad short sword (140 wpf) 25% per round 4.16% per tick

[Mala]

Just another update.
This time i have not made full tests, only smaller ones to see a trend.
I have watched two things, other backup weapons and arrows.

backup weapons

Same armour as with the crossbow tests and as weapons i have chosen großes messer (140 wpf) and spear (1 wpf).

Well, the "your highes meele wpf counts"-thingy seems not to work. After 60 rounds my spear has broken 36 times.
That makes 60% per average round or 10% per tick.

arrows
I guess the main problem with the arrows is, that the most of the arches use a single quiver multiple times.
If i have used the same quiver in two different slots, then i had an extremly high breaking chance.
But with two different quivers in two different slots it was a way lower.

[Varric]

[2h/Pole] Not taking logs, but from past experience it's obvious that the dagger and knife I carry around my waist for cosmetics break down to unusable several rounds before my 2h and polearms do.
