# Wear and tear & repairs

##### Wear and tear

In Pax Dei, a wear and tear-system for gear will be in place, including a highly detailed visual representation of your gear's current state. Dents, scratches and rust will appear on armour as it's being used.

##### Repairability

As with the crafting of the gear, repairs will also be performed by **players**.   
Current information suggests that there will be a **cost** to repair gear and that at some point it will make more sense to **retire** said gear.  
Based on this, one could wonder if repair-costs for a specific piece of gear will increase for each subsequent repair action.

# Best in slot

Developers have stated that there isn't a best gear per se. Depending on the task at hand, you may want to adapt your equipment to fit the challenge.

With the information bits we have in regards to [wear and tear as well as repairability](https://heartlands.zone/books/equipment/page/wear-and-tear-repairs "Wear and tear & repairs") of gear, it stands to reason that one would not necessarily run the "best" gear anyways in order to save the precious items for when they really matter/shine.

# Progression

#### Tiers

At this point, tiered gear seems likely and was mentioned by the developers.

It was also stated though, while **every piece of gear can be equipped right away**, your **efficiency** of using it will be key.

#### Acquiring gear

Available information indicates that the best gear will be sourced from crafting. According to the following developer quote, gear may also drop:

> ...Compared to most games, we plan to invert the value of loot vs player crafted items. We want to see the players creating the best and most valuable items in the game...
