For Barbs, due to their melee combat nature, their gears tend to get damaged much more easily than other chars. Especially, if they are using a runeword armor such as Fortitude or Engima, the repair cost is extremely high -- about 20K+ gold for each durability repaired.
How do you usually handle this godly high repair cost? I'm gonna be broke after a few Baal runs... :cry: Thanks!
well, if it has sup dura the repair bill will be out the roof, in such case i simply wait till it is almost broken, then cube w/ ral for full repair.

Thanks for the reply! :cool: Just to make sure. Does this formula also applicable to Runeword armors? Also, does it still work when the armor is already broken? Thanks!!
just don't make your runeword in a superior armor with +dura......

It is not... it is superior, but only with +ED mod, not +dura mod... and it still costs >20k gold to repair each dura...
just use a ral to repair it when its red its not that expensive :)

How much does it cost to repair zerker with grief or beast in? (didn't seem right to make a new thread just for this small question=) Have to decide wether to go swords (grief pb but no beast), or axes for my frenzyer. Obviously having orts around for each weapon is gonna be tedious hehe

for Ba´s the cost is like 10-12k with no ed..
with ed its something like 60k+++
I save rals for crafting caster ammys, doing a quick travincal run usually gets enough gold for repairs if you dont have a goldfind barb then probably have to sell the magic armors and stuff that drops too.

Seraph Rod (+7ED, +2Fanaticism, 3oS, Lawbringer, 17, 202)
This weapon is far too expensive for even a full bank CLvl99 and barely over half current durability. Either repair frequently or you'll have to spend a rune, and runes are so much more valuable in other uses.

I am just picking up a soso/necro rubbish weapons during baalruns. Sell it (usually 35k gold each) and than I can repair my nasty, gold-greedy Forti...
Anyone know the difference in cost of repairing a dusk shroud vs sacred armor Enigma?

The repair cost is almost the same to repair my Sup Archon Plate Enigma, and my Sup Sacred Armor Enigma...
well 10-12k really isn't alot....that should be one trav run and maybe sell some items.....or I could just be spoiled with my gf nec.....

Actually, it is 20-30k per dura... and it costs me about 100k for each DKey run with my Barb...

How much "+Extra Gold" do you have? Can you list which locations you run for gold in each game? :) Lastly, single game or multiplayer game?

just dont make runeword in sup armor unless it is for merc.
the little defense gain isnt worth the hassle.
if you have gf barb ready 24/7 for repair golds then go for it.

I pick up blue and yellow objects in Act 3 Kurast (lower, bazaar, upper). I don't score 1 million in 5 minutes but I can usually get 500,000 in about 1-2 hours with out any +extra gold magic. Some rare armor can give 10,000 in gold. I have picked up necro heads and wands that pay out 10,000. Even chipped gems give something like 1000 t0 2000 gold and lately these have been falling like rain.
If you use ATMA you can gold find with a caster (my have very low repair costs) and use ATMA to transfer the gold to your melee type characters that have a higher maintenance cost.
The Ral solution is also a good idea unless you are doing something else with your runes.

Don't remember correctly, but it's something like 1500% extra gold, though I could get to like 2000 if I bothered. I do the killing myself because I don't trust merc's amoebic AI to do the job :rolleyes: Build is a berserk babo with grief/rhyme. I do use a lot of warcries, though: level 10 warcry to make minions stand still and battle cry to smooth out the big 3 when they spawn with fana or xstrong mods. Merc uses insight, so that I can deal with mana burn and keep a good refil rate for warcrying. By the way, the big 3 can also get stunned from warcry, but the odds are like 5 or 10% per cry.
I get like 400-600 k per run and it doesn't matter if it's single player or multi player: the council goes down easily in both cases... lol. Ok, maybe 5 mins is an exaggeration, but it's certainly not longer than 10. I only run the hell council. Besides gold, you can get some pretty nice rares if you use a bit of mf (for instance lem lem alibabas on weap switch). Last ladder I got a mara 30 and a soj without playing much.
