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

[Spleen]

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

Correct me if I´m wrong...

but I never go for cav when on 1x multiplier and in a losing team (or in the team were most of the Pro´s are NOT), taking an "eco horse" like rouncey, steppe or even desert horse may please cav diehards in such a situation

I switch to cav when on (2x) /3x/4x, and at 5x it´s even worth to have a ride with an armored horse, but if the round is lost the costs explode (same with expensive armor)

Guess they will change the repair scheme soon?

Nice threads here on that topic

last time I checked they wanted to redo the gamespeed, horses, melee dmg types, ranged, repairs, strat and a few other things...

also, afaik we're still on the "old" warband version

do hierlooms DEFINITELY not effect upkeep? I know repair cost is same but it seriously feels like repair chance on hierlooms is the reason why i am bleeding gold out of my ass.

I downgraded and am using 23k equipment, but still not even making profit after a few entire maps of x5.

Try some rounds without the heirlooms.

I think something is just buggy with upkeep the last few days, atleast on NA Siege.  2 nights ago I had upkeep on every item, every round, of every match for almost 2 hours straight.  Luckily I was at x4 and x5 most of the night so It broke even.  Then last night, I played for 3 hours and did not have upkeep once.  Not a single time.

So yeah, no clue whats going on lately.

Try using 57k loadout, I lose a lot of money every gen...I'm hoping to retire one last time, sell my loom and then never retire again...I assume I lose anywhere from 50-100k every 8.5 million xp

There might indeed be a bug at works. Some other dude posted some weeks ago that he's losing a lot of gold on a reasonably priced loadout. Maybe try changing all your gear to non-loomed stuff, but make it be roughly the same in value and see if you still lose gold. It could also be interesting to write down all repairs for a while.

At first, reading the topic, i didn't understand how it could be possible to loose money with only 30k gear. Then i saw this

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.

First, yes, to get valor, you need to effectively block and stay close to some melee opponents, so it's harder for range.
Secondly, arrow's breaking chance is HUGE ! So using two quivers of bodkin arrows is a sure moneysink ! (even with using one of bodkin and one of tatar, i still effectively loose money)
Welcome to the hard world of an archer.

Fun fact, i loose money on my 30k archer set.
I win money on my 45k cav lancer set.

That's kind of porked.

[okiN]

My gear is less than 20k. I'm rakin' in fat stacks, son!

[Rhaelys]

44k worth of full +3 heirloomed gear and I break even/slowly make money.

[FRANK_THE_TANK]

Full palte with knightly arming sword and dusty and I've only lost 45k going from level 18-26.

[Banok]

since I've changed to 23k gear I've only lost 3k but i have been on x5 alot so...

if this is true then mystery solved, that would explain it as I am using x2 bodkins. but that doesn't make any sense, why would arrows be secretly coded to break more? they could have to increased the price of the arrows so it works like everything else.

luckily 1mill to retire, switch to mele and make money in 50k gear ;/

[Gimest]

Banok that really is the case, its nearly imbossible to make money with 2 stacks of bodkins, they tend to break allmost every round :/ Even with tatar's it can be slow to make money, but atleast u an make some
