lower chance for breaking some piece of equipment by 1% every time? and permanetly
I think we have a winner.
I've had this text twice, first one after a retirement exactly at level 15, I had been wearing random equipment (non-default) up until then.
Second time half way through level 30, again wearing my default setup.
I neither feel nor see a difference, though perhaps it is so minuscule it goes unnoticed but I'd still place my bet on justme's guess.
