Decay and ConditionMost 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 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. 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. Effects of Armor DecayFor 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.
