Repair

Category: Blacksmithing · Command: /repair · Super ability: None

Repair lets you fix worn gear with its raw materials, at an iron block instead of an anvil. Higher levels restore more durability per material and are more likely to keep your enchantments.

How to repair

  1. Place an iron block. This is your Repair anvil.
  2. Hold the damaged item, with at least one of its repair material in your inventory (for example an iron ingot for iron tools, a diamond for diamond gear).
  3. Right-click the iron block. If the item is enchanted, the first click shows a warning (see Arcane Forging below); right-click again within a few seconds to go ahead.

Each repair uses one piece of material. Repair Mastery (below) decides how much durability each piece restores.

Enchantments are at risk. Without Arcane Forging, repairing removes every enchantment on the item. See Arcane Forging below before repairing your best gear.

Earning XP

XP depends on how much durability you restore, what the item is, and what it's made of:

XP = share of max durability restored × item multiplier × 1,000 × material multiplier
Material Multiplier Material Multiplier
Gold 0.3 Wood 0.6
Stone 1.3 Leather 1.6
String 1.8 Copper 2.0
Iron 2.5 Diamond 5.0
Netherite 6.0 Anything else 1.5

Item multipliers depend on the item. Armor is worth the most, then pickaxes and axes, then swords and hoes, then shovels. Some examples of the XP for restoring an item from broken to full:

Item XP for a full repair
Leather armor piece 1,600
Iron sword 1,250
Iron pickaxe or axe 2,500
Iron armor piece 5,000
Diamond pickaxe or axe 5,000
Diamond armor piece 30,000
Netherite armor piece 42,000

A repair that restores a third of an item's durability earns a third of that. Items that are almost broken give the most XP per repair.

Abilities

Ability Unlocks What it does
Repair Mastery Level 1 Each material restores more durability: +2% per level, up to +200% (3× the normal amount) at level 100
Super Repair Level 40 Chance for a repair to restore double durability. The chance rises to 100% at level 100.
Arcane Forging Level 10 (ranks at 10, 25, 35, 50, 65, 75, 85, 100) Chance to keep enchantments when you repair (see below)

Arcane Forging

Each enchantment on the item gets two rolls when you repair it:

  1. Keep: if it succeeds, the enchantment stays. If it fails, the enchantment is removed.
  2. Downgrade: if the enchantment stayed, this roll decides whether it drops one level.
Rank Level Keep chance Downgrade chance
1 10 10% 75%
2 25 20% 50%
3 35 30% 40%
4 50 40% 30%
5 65 50% 25%
6 75 50% 20%
7 85 60% 15%
8 100 60% 10%

Even at level 100, each enchantment has only a 60% chance to survive a repair. For heavily enchanted gear, an anvil or Mending may be the safer choice.

Tips

  • Repair when items are nearly broken: you get the most durability and XP out of each material.
  • Offer repairs to other players. Repair XP comes from restoring durability, so everyone's worn gear is XP for you.
  • Repair is in Blacksmithing with Salvage. See Chainmail Mastery for Blacksmithing's passive.
