−	Most usable items have a rating for their durability or how long they will last. This is referred to as the item's condition. Item condition can be viewed by clicking on an item in the inventory and using the examine radial option. The [[media:ExceptionalNightSisterLance2.jpg\|condition is presented as a fraction]] in appearance where the first number represents the current condition and the second represents the current maximum condition. Once an item's current condition reaches 0 it's effectiveness ends and it may not be repaired. When the item reaches this state it is effectively referred to as being destroyed. [[media:DestroyedItems.jpg\|Destroyed]] items show up in the inventory as red in coloration signifying that the item may be equipped but that it's properties will no longer work. Starting items, in addition to Clothing, jewelry, and lightsabers, pearls and crystals remain among the few items of which item decay does not remove their inherent properties.	+	Most usable items have a rating for their durability or how long they will last.

[[media:DestroyedItems.jpg\|Destroyed]] items show up in the inventory as red in coloration signifying that the item may be equipped but that it's properties will no longer work. For example all armor protective properties will be removed (even if the item is equipped). For weapons, the damage will effectively be 1 point. In the case of destroyed Jedi power crystals, the lightsaber will not be equippable at all until replacements are found. If a player is wearing an item that is destroyed, it does not unequip on its own, however it does show up as red in the player's inventory which will allow them to know that it is time to remove the equipment and exchange it for something else if they wish. If the player has a light saber equipped while fighting and the color crystal reaches 0 condition then the damage is reduced to 1 point as with other weapons. Starting items, in addition to Clothing, jewelry, and lightsabers, pearls and crystals remain among the few items of which item decay does not remove their inherent properties.

−	Force crystals and krayt dragon pearls are items that are equippable inside lightsabers to increase the effectiveness of these weapons. These items have condition values as well and are reduced as the lightsaber is used. It is unclear as to how the decay process works for these items other than that decay is dispersed amongst all the crystals/pearls inside the lightsaber. It could probably be assumed that the decay process for these items work similarly to how decay works for weapons.	+	Force crystals and krayt dragon pearls are items that are equippable inside lightsabers to increase the effectiveness of these weapons. These items have condition values as well and are reduced as the lightsaber is used. It is unclear as to how the decay process works for these items other than that decay is dispersed amongst all the crystals/pearls inside the lightsaber through a decay roll event. Whichever crystal gets selected during the decay roll event, gets damaged. It could probably be assumed that the decay process for these items work similarly to how decay works for weapons.

 All Weapons with the exception of lightsabers, decay with usage; each time you use it, the item decays. When the condition of the weapon reaches 25% of the item's maximum total condition, the weapon's minimum and maximum damage starts to decay. The item reaches a decay threshold at the 25% mark. For every 1% below the 25% condition threshold, the weapon's minimum and maximum damage is decreased by 1%. This usage decay will drop a weapon's effectiveness down to 0.

 No formula is currently known for calculating weapon decay, although it is believed that the more damage that is dealt to a target, the higher the decay that hits the weapon. See Item Decay Sources 5-7 for insight.
