  Dear Mercenaries-
  
  The release of Version 1.19 and the Lost Artifact Update will bring with it some new changes to the in-game item system. Read on for a more detailed look at these changes.
  
  
  [SIZE="4"]Item Stats System Change[/SIZE]
  
  There are a few changes to the stats on items.
  
  - The Deterioration and Condition stats have been removed.
  - The Durability stat has been added to weapons, armors and accesory items.
  - Items with high Max Durability numbers will last longer in battle before being destroyed than
  - items with low Max Durability.
  - If an item's Max Durability reaches 0, that item will no longer be able to be used.
  
  [SIZE="4"]
  Enhancements[/SIZE]
  
  - Items can now be Enhanced to above +5
  - During Enhancement to levels +4 through +8, there is a chance of failure which will lower the
  - Enhancement and decrease the items Max Durability.
  - +9 Enhancement or above has a chance of failure which will result in destruction of the item.
  
  
  [SIZE="4"]Binding System[/SIZE]
  
  - The following items will now be bound to a specific character:
  +++* Items that have been Enhanced and/or Enchanted to +9 or higher.
  +++* Items which have been altered using a Fusion Rune.
  +++* High Level equipment which has been purchased at the Marketplace.
  +++* Materials which have been purchased at the Marketplace.
  - Bound items cannot be traded.
  - Equipment can be unbound by using an Unbind Potion. Materials cannot be unbound.
  
  [SIZE="4"]
  Repair Fee Changes[/SIZE]
  
  - The amount of times an item is repaired does not effect the price to repair that item.
  - Repair fees vary based on the value which is calculated by the item's price and it's level of
  - Enhancement and/or Enchantment
  - Items with low Durability will be more expensive to repair.

  :T_T: If it is just like in Mabi.. does this mean Ferghus can break our armor now?! Cause if that's the case.. I'm totally going naked for everything except raids, for the rest of my Mabi life.

  What is this...
  Well, wondering if they will be following Mabinogi style of repair systems in the future.

  I think it's prudent to note that upgrading your weapon beyond +5 increases durability. I wasn't paying attention but the other day I upgraded my ivory scythe, and on its way to +5 I failed once. The durability dropped from I think 107 to 99 or something, but when I upgraded it to +6 the max durability went to 112.
  
  Can someone else confirm this?

  Every upgrade will increase your item's durability by a certain amount, but every fail will decrease it by a certain amount as well. A normal +5 with no failures usually yields 113 durability. This means that the normal +6 should have more than 113, so your 112 +6 is below optimal.
