repair in forging for weapons is useless, all repair does is fix the armour status on shields and plate, so make it so you can repair the months of decay on a weapon like 10 months per- repair, but make it so you need 1 of each type of commoditie it took to forge it per repair.

Would be cool since Jewlers can do something similar to this to rings why cant we do this to armour?

Estarra has mentioned that armour is supposed to be damaged with use (hurray). This is the purpose of armour status and being able to repair it.

Yes, if I'm hearing right (and that's not always the case), They're making it so that armour status goes down as it gets damaged. Also, some armour is forged with lower armour status, like when I get 95's sometimes. You can repair up to 100 with this.

I think, but again am not sure, that the amount your armour will protect you will go down as it's status goes down, and once it reaches 0, it will be pretty much worthless. I do not think it will break, however.

Also, repairing to add months would be a neat idea. I swore we already had something like this, but there are so many skills I forget which ones are real and which are just in my head.
