Wear and tear & repairs

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.

       

As with the crafting of the gear, repairs will also be performed by players.
Current information states 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 assume that repair-costs for a specific piece of gear will increase for each subsequent repair action.
