Equipment in Arena degrades with use. Weapons lose sharpness, and armor loses protective value. Damaged equipment performs poorly and can even break entirely. You can repair your items at an Armorer in any city for a fee. The cost depends on the item's value and damage. Alternatively, you can carry Repair Kits, which allow you to repair items in the field, though often less effectively than a professional. Always repair your equipment before venturing into a dungeon. Neglecting maintenance can lead to disastrous consequences in combat, as a broken weapon or armor piece can leave you vulnerable.
