Gear and Inventory / Repair
Defeating enemies and being KO'd will reduce the durability of your weapons and equipment.
To repair your items and restore their durability, speak to a mender, marked with a hammer icon on your map.
If durability reaches zero, that item will no longer increase your stats, so be sure to keep your equipment in good condition.
It is also possible to repair your own equipment if your Repair Level is high enough for the corresponding Disciple of the Hand class and you possess the required materials.
You can repair your equipment in almost any location, which is one of the many reasons to level up your Disciple of the Hand classes.
Checking Durability
The blue or green bar next to each item shown on the Character screen and item help window indicates its durability.
The item help window also shows a second bar, which indicates spiritbond.
