Some creatures are chewing up weapons like it's going out of style.

So far three weapons have been "battered and practically destroyed" in less than a week.

Is there any chance weapon damage might be turned off pending review, like it was for shields? I'd be ecstatic if it just couldn't take items down past in irreparable state.

What critters are doing this to you?

I noticed this with all these undead critters around. I pretty much just stopped hunting them. Only when one of the NPC characters are out do I bother with it. The downtime just isn't worth it.

To be fair, it's Rock Guardians. They were unhuntable when shield breakage was on (five shields broken in less than five minutes, once), so I decided to try them again now that breakage is turned off.

My Thief used to hunt them back in the day (she only parries) so I figured they'd be okay on weapons, but yeah. Not so much. I can get by using throwaways but I destroyed my S'Kra scim before realized what was happening.

Insert obligatory "replace 'destroyed' equipment status with 'broken and unusable (but repairable)' status" request.

Try using a weapon that is moderately strong construction or greater.

What Simon said. And yes, rock guardians and other rocky critters are hard on gear in general.

The undead outside theren gate and the west gate of shard chew through weapons like mad. Especially the fleshreapers and skeletal hounds, even if you dodge everything they throw at you it still screws your weapons just hitting them.

Even well constructed kertig and glaes weapons are getting messed up by them.

If advice was any good, they wouldn't give it out for free.

The s'kra scimitar is pretty weak, I lost a few of them parrying gargoyles.

Of course, we all know the issues with item damage. This is a large part of why shield damage was turned off. I'd second the request.
