Items lose durability and become less effective when you revive from death. You can repair your equipment at a Blacksmith.
The Durability of an item is a number that shows how much the item is yet undamaged. If you use an item (by wearing if it is armor, or by fighting with, if it is a weapon), there is a small chance that it gets damaged. This means that the item loses a durability point. Note: If armor is worn, but no damage is taken, it doesn’t lose any durability.
If you continue to use an item, it will lose more durability points until its durability drops to 0. If the item has no durability points left, it breaks (in Diablo I the item disappears). A broken weapon (with Durability 0) cannot be used to fight. Any broken armor temporarily loses its attributes, if it had any. An item’s durability is restored by going to a blacksmith and let him/her repair it.
Some items can gain durability over time due to certain magical attributes. Some special types of items cannot be repaired (being ethereal).
Each time a player dies, their equipped items lose 10% durability (in addition to having to respawn at a checkpoint).
Damaged items can be repaired at the Blacksmith for Gold. Higher-end items will also require crafting materials that can be acquired through salvaging items or found throughout Sanctuary. The item durability system will serve as one of the main gold sinks in the game.
