How to repair gear in Diablo 4 and durability explained

When you die in Diablo 4, your gear takes damage but it can all be repaired!

To repair Diablo 4 gear and restore the durability, you've got to pay a Blacksmith who can fully repair weapons and armor, even if they're broken. When you’re throwing yourself at a particularly difficult Diablo 4 dungeon, Stronghold, or boss fight (perhaps the Diablo 4 Ashava World Boss), you'll probably end up dying a lot and your gear's durability will degrade with each death. If an item reaches zero durability, it’ll break and won't be of any use while its equipped, so it's a good idea to bail out and seek repairs. Here’s what you need to do to repair your Diablo 4 gear durability.

How to fix Diablo 4 weapon and armor durability

You can repair a weapon or armor piece’s durability by visiting a Blacksmith in a town. Open the Blacksmith’s menu and switch to the ‘Repair’ tab. Here you have the option to choose something directly in your inventory to repair, repair only equipped items, or repair all items. All these repair options always fully restore the durability of items.

Blacksmiths need to make a living so repairing any item will cost you gold, although the amount varies based on what’s being repaired, its rarity, and how much durability needs to be restored to get it back to 100. You’ll find Blacksmiths in pretty much any town but make sure you’ve got plenty of Waypoints unlocked for Diablo 4 fast travel – Blacksmiths are marked on the map with an anvil icon. Remember you can also salvage Diablo 4 gear to get resources, materials, and transmog options to customize your dungeon drip.

Diablo 4 item durability explained

In Diablo 4, all weapons and armor have 100 durability points and you lose 10 points on all your currently equipped gear each time you die – excluding rings and amulets as these do not have durability stats. You can see the durability stat towards the bottom of an item's description box.

If any item reaches zero durability it’ll break, stopping you receiving the benefits of any stats, buffs, or bonuses that it provides. Thankfully, broken items can still be repaired to restore them to their former glory, but it’s obviously best to not let this happen unless you’ve got spare armor and weapons you can switch to. And the best way to maintain item durability and avoid repairs is to not die – easy, right?!
