-50k repairs from 30k gear, working as intended?

[Banok]

i'm using 30k gold equip whole time and i've gone down more than 50k gold!

I know its a luck system but surely going down 50k is absurdly unlikely.

people say you can use 35k gear on average. I know my 1h skill is 55 and im using a 8k pick axe, but it still seems way extreme. I used to use ~50k gear (long time ago) and still earn money.

only other possible reason I can think of is my crappy kdr: 0.9

lol anyone saying you can use 35k gear and make money is trolling or silly

I try to stay around 25k.  The only way you can use 35k and make money is if you're rolling the x5 all the time.

Currently I use 31k but I usually roll with a clan so I get more multis than if I was playing alone.  If I'm by myself I use 21k gear.

You can make money with any gear, it is possible. Even though if you would go above 60k you would need either lots of luck or x5 quite often.

I never lost any gold when I was at around 30-40k gear - usually my multiplier is also above x1.

It's unlikely you're losing gold but if you do, go down with the value.

I roll with 38k worth of gear and I make money, quite a lot when on x5 actually.

it does matter with whom you play. as a nord,  you can maintain an above average multi.

banok,  maybe you want to sport a well organized clans' banner.

Uh that's not possible anymore

With around 30k gear one should be able to break even or gain a little.

I regularly lose money with my usual, slightly under 50k loadout.

Let me guess - you have a ....


HORSE? 

[Vibe]

Horse repair chance should be reduced by the riding skill of the rider.


(or is that in already?)

I had no idea : )

Quite right.

I'm not sure high riding skill needs more rewards. And upkeep is the one thing keeping cav lines thinner. Even if in practice that means that everyone takes a horse for the open plains map and collects money during closed city maps.

I have no idea if it's already in, though. Does anyone have this information?

[Vibe]

I'm not saying it should decrease the chance for repairs by a lot tho

[Rhekimos]

Alright.

[Grumbs]

Not sure how accurate this is but:

1wpf is about 11% [chance of breaking] where as 140 is 2.5% [chance of breaking] so it does make a difference.

If you have only 55 wpf + armour you might only be at like 20-30 wpf effective, so have a higher chance for the weapon to break. It only counts your highest melee weapon wpf though, so if you have 100 in polearm it will count as 100wpf for 1 handers repair chance too.

I downgraded to a nordic short sword but i'm down another 10k. been x5 alot too. but yeah maybe I should be lame and just grab byz flag or something dont think they are exclusive atm

previous gen I had 40k gear as cav and made money, I think its just because as archer you never get valor nearly as much as mele.
