Ethereal Bug

[BlackWidow]

Now since i am new here i don't now if his has already been posted but i found (after killing rot fist the cold i think it was) a blue name magic axe, so i take a look at it, darn, ethereal but it's worth a look anyways, so i identify it and look at this "repairs 1 durability in 33 seconds" so thinking i decided no it doesn't work, but i tried it and it does! Any ideas on this? :scratch:

I think you answered your own question. This is a well documented behaivior. Ethereal items with the "repairs durability" or "replenishes quantitiy" mods really do repair/replenish. That's why ethereal titans and ethereal skullders are sought after.

Some other ethereal Item info:

-Ethereal items spawn with a random amount of durability.
-Ethereal items can not be repaired by any NPCs or by any cube recipes.
-Ethereal items cannot spawn with the "of ages" suffix.
-Ethereal items do not lose durability when used on mercs (nothing loses durability on mercs)
-The only ethereal items that can spawn indestructible are the always indestructible ones (unique legend spike, etc)
-Upgrading or personalizing an ethereal item will set the durability to a random number between 1 and the max for the item.

Thank you very much "thegiantturtle" for answering this

-Ethereal items spawn with a random amount of durability.
Max durability actually, unless superior IIRC.

-Ethereal items cannot spawn with the "of ages" suffix.
In 1.09 it was different, the Ethereal property was removed the the suffix "of Ages" was set to spawn IIRC

-The only ethereal items that can spawn indestructible are the always indestructible ones (unique legend spike, etc)
Always Ethereal and Indestructible :)
