Diamond of Reinforcement

[JOTMON]

I'm not talking about repairing damage; I'm talking about less wear and tear on items that take a beating. Sure, you can spend Turbine Points to fix your items, but that's kind of a waste of cash money.

Which is why the first line of the response was..

Adamantine ritual in stone of change doesn't take up an augment slot that would be more valuable for something else and no level restriction whatsoever.

or ~snip~

Adamantine stone of change can put +5 Hardness and up to +30 Durability on any level item without affecting the min level or using a valuable augment slot.

Adamantine Ritual I - +5 Hardness and +10 Durability.
Adamantine Ritual II An additional +5 Durability.
Adamantine Ritual III An additional +5 Durability.
Adamantine Ritual IV An additional +5 Durability.
Adamantine Ritual V(Max) An additional +5 Durability.

For the 2h weapon user out there that is sick of their item wearing down to a nub in one adventure, or the Frozen Tunic wearer who wants to keep it on at 28:

Diamond of Reinforcement I: ML1. Item Hardness increased by 5. Durability +10.
Diamond of Reinforcement II: ML 7. Item Hardness increased by 10. Durability +20.
Diamond of Reinforcement III: ML14. Item Hardness increased by 15. Durability +30.
Diamond of Reinforcement IV: ML21. Item Hardness increased by 20: Durability +40.
Diamond of Reinforcement V: ML28. Item Hardness increased by 25. Durability +50.

A pretty simple idea. It should be fairly easy to implement.

so my point was if they are going to consider durability stones, they need to be better than the no min level adamantine ritual upgrade and definitely not as high level required

a crafting ritual improvement.. would be preferable...
or even encompass improvements to metalline augments.. such as higher level augments of silver/holy/adamantine/cold iron/..etc.. that add hardness & durability.

Or someone could do both? Why one or the other? They would stack.

Would they?.. that would be dependant on Dev coding.. its all just suggestion and speculation for the augments..

As I mentioned above, let's add that to the proposal then to make sure

Item defense enhancement also helps a lot.

Well yeah, if you have spare Action points to spend.

I'm on board in favor of this suggestion... and would even double the durability enhancements. Admittedly, I like my augments for offensive purposes, but as a for instance, when running Lord of Blades: my usual practice is to fight my way to the quest start, then exit, repair, re-enter, and then hope my best weapon will still be useful by the time we're done.

Well... if you're planning on making a build where you know the gear will suffer... then planning for the AP spend is part of your "hard choices". If you can just augment your woes away...

You can't get addy ritual soul gems from Lord of Eyes. My mistake.

Yes you can, either on casual or maybe normal. It's been a while so I forget the difficulty required, but that's where I usually go to get mine.
