Just aquired armours breaking after a round of combat

[Alexi]

So I've had this happen to me a few times last week, and thought it might just be a numbers game and being unlucky.

I aquire a good piece of armour (Once was Dragonscale and next time was the blackened greaves) and after one round (IE once was 3 elves in Qual aka 1 room, and the other was 2 rooms of Terel Trolls) the armour breaks. I know it wasn't use before as I had just killed for it.

Is that just bad luck and unlucky %? Can any Wizard weigh in on actual facts on what determines if something has a percentage of breaking without giving away game-breaking details?

It's pretty much bad luck.
It's not possible for something to break on the first hit.

Hits happen pretty often though.

I know it wasn't use before as I had just killed for it.

I hope this doesn't come off as overly pedantic, but shouldn't the newly deceased have been using any equipment you've just liberated from their service?

[Rhaegar]

Not to mention plexus' effect on armours (or was it changed?).

Yes he probably did, but if I had a round of combat with them, say 20 hits against Kernan with Plexus (With my Break Armours option turned off) and I get it as prime, and then one other round of combat it breaks, it just seems, ridiculous?

Like Cotollion said "Bad Luck"

Yes it is.

[Alorrana]

should be impossible for anything prime to break..

Just my cents in this..

No.

[Johnny]

No.

HA! Brilliant!

Im not sure you have realized this..
But i have been playing the last 15 years.
You have been idling the last 15 years.

And.. How things are from how they should be is two completely different subjects.

Example one..
Some years ago when i was ranger i went and killed goblin lord.. Got an EH.. wielded it.. went out and on the first hit i scored with it.. it broke.

Example two..
It is quite often that when i see some NPCs respawn that the weapons they wield breaks even before they use them.
You could ofcource claim that this is impossible.

Example three..
Kernan respawned right away after he was killed by me a while back, and i attacked him again.. first swing he breaks the sword he uses..
