This bonus applies to the effectiveness of many of the skills in each tree.

Patterns can be used to reshape existing pieces of armor while maintaining its stats.
To apply a pattern, take a piece of armor to the appropriate station (ex. a cloth chest piece to a tailoring station) and then use a pattern to reshape that item into something visually different.
Looting Armor[edit]
Armor will sometimes drop and be lootable from a fallen enemy. These items are can be equipped but, unless it is a rare Artifact, will only have basic low level armor stats.
These items can be Salvaged for some Scrap and sometimes Patterns or sold to Merchants for Gold.
Selling items to merchants is known as "Vendor Trashing". All items sold to NPC Merchants, (not Player Vendors), are placed into the looting system. Meaning the same sold armor and weapons will drop on enemies in the future as loot for others.
Most Merchants will buy items at 80% of the item value displayed. However, a select few will buy for the full 100% of the item value. This is known as Tag Match.
Durability and Repair[edit]
Combat wears down armor. This is represented by an item’s durability rating. Resurrecting after death, without the benefit of a Resurrection Ankh or a Resurrection spell, will inflict durability damage on all equipped items, including weapons. When an item’s current durability is exhausted, it confers no benefits; broken weapons inflict no damage and broken armor offers no protection. The monetary value of equipment decreases as it wears out.
As an item of armor becomes damaged an appropriate Repair Kit can be used to restore durability up to, but not exceeding the items maximum durability.
