  The durability/repair system is pretty good overall. However, I would make the following changes:
  
  Usage Changes (per hit):
  
  Melee Weapon: 0.02
  - Final Hit temporarily prevents durability loss
  - Wind Guard temporarily prevents durability loss
  - Smash rate: 0.03
  - Lance Charge rate: 0.03
  
  Bow/Crossbow: 0.015
  - Final Shot temporarily prevents durability loss
  - Arrow Revolver rate: 0.01 per arrow
  - Elf Ranged Attack rate: 0.0075 per arrow
  - Magnum Shot rate: 0.03
  
  Wand/Staff: 0.02
  - Fusion Bolt rate: 0.01
  Cylinder: 0.01
  - Flame Burst rate: 0.0075 per hit
  
  Dual Gun: 0.01
  - Way of the Gun temporarily prevents durability loss
  - Flash Launcher rate: 0.03
  
  Gathering Tool: 0.03
  
  New Synthesis Fixed Recipes:
  
  Gold Durability Hammer (Base Success Rate: 20% at r1)
  Ingredients: Gold Bar, Blacksmith Hammer
  
  Platinum Durability Hammer (Base Success Rate: 5% at r1)
  Ingrediants: Mythril Bar, Blacksmith Hammer

  I hate the random zero generator as much as the next guy as well. That 97% may decide to screw you a few times over just because it can. I hate the durability system, since it limits me as to what I can use which is the main reason I got an ego sword for the 100% ego repairs. I honestly think if we had a 99% NPC for every single type of item with durability we'd be happy. My maid has not failed me once with the 99% repair rate. I would be jumping for joy with an 100% NPC though. Really hurts the soul to see an item I work hard on get it's dura eaten up by repairs when special upgrading and enchanting is already something that screws us over enough.

  If a 100% repair option was given (outside of events), then a lot of other parts of the game would likely have changes (either to mechanics or numbers) to account for the new idea of the lack of weapon decay. There's ideas like the durability being a percent so everything wears out the same (with wear adjustment upgrades perhaps), but I don't care too much for talking into change ideas because none of it will change what the gameplay actually is.

  This is why you only rock the crazy weapons when its necessary. You can get by with just average none enchanted upgraded weapons for most other things. If all you need is a 5k+ hit then why are you wasting the dura on your weapons that make you hit 4-8x that much.

  Yeah, I have beam swords, but I only pull them out in places like Peaca or some really hard stuff that needs to die right this very second oh god I think it's looking my way. For the rest, it's normal swords, haven't even stoned them.
  
  BTW, I repair my standard swords and wands at 90%. I use Fomor weapons normally, and the +3 dura helps offset the lower repair rate. But even if stuff loses dura, as Au pointed out the weapon is still plenty useful until it can't do two runs without a repair, and none of my fomor stuff has reached that point (one sword and my fire wand are down to 8 max dura, the lowest of any of it). When something does (because something will eventually if I keep using them all), I'll just get another from the closest commerce place, because there's a theoretically infinite amount of them available.

  97% repair compared to 98% repair. That 1% actually does make a difference >.>

  Yar. Statistically, fixing 10 points, 98% repair has an 8% higher chance of getting away without a fail than 10 points at 97%.

  idk, raincast can make soloing npc extremely fast and easy. Couple crash shots can carry me to the final rounds.

  I usually only raincast round 7-boss. Sometimes 8 or just boss, depending if trans time or not.
  I really should fish, i could use the HP pots.

  It gets extremely difficult for an archer to solo once u run out of aoe pets and everything is aggroeing u. Cant get a hit in edgewise, so raincasting can easily make an archer extremely fast runs.

  My pet hotkey layout makes boss round extremely hard since i have my nimbuses and scooters on half of them.
  I should change that to allow more stun pets like deer.

  I never use Edern/Effie/berched for my repairs, their repair rates are a lie.

  I wish they replaced the golden hammer in the viewing coupon shop to a platinum one, or added it in general. Alternatively they could add it to the seal shop. If only D:
