Magic item degradation

Post by Warlordltx »

It is intended mechanic that magical items that give bonus on held are supposed to degrade when training but not when fast travelling or resting or I just dont have clear understanding how magic item degradation works.

They wear much slower when resting (1HP/hour instead of 1HP/4 minutes), and if I remember correctly not at all while fast traveling. Like torches, the game generously assumes you unequip them while traveling.

I think that I found out why items degrade much faster while using trainer services, as then not resting decay rate is counted for but while being awake which is much higher. As enchanted items, if I am correct, have 1500 base durabilty if that item is not a weapon or armor piece, and loses 225 durability for 5 days training session. Seems clear for me now.
