Deterioration and tt value

[Yes]

So, for example, if and item had a durability of average and a tt value 20 ped, will it last longer or shorter than an item with an item with the same durability of average but a tt value of 100 ped, or is there another element involved?

 

[sidxx]

depends on exact decay, but the item with a tt of 100 ped would last *about 5 times* longer than the item with a tt of 20 ped


* once again depends on exact decay of said items

 

[Yes]

How do I check the exact decay?

Use it once then put it in the sell section of the trade terminal (But for the love of god dont press sell) then add 1 bottle of sweat at a time until the sell price is equal to the full TT of the item.

The sweat is worth 1/1000th of a pec each so you can then work out based on how much sweat had to be added exactly (or at least to the nearest 1/1000th of a pec) how much the item decays per single use.


PS sweat/dung/fruit are all worth 1/1000th of a pec at the TT so any of these can be used for the test.

How do I check the exact decay?

Check this website: Entropedia.info

The exact decay per use of every item is not stated ingame anywhere. It's just aluded to via that durability description you mentioned.

However, with a lot of work (and some standardized testing methods developed by the players) we've been able to work out the exact decay of about 90-95% of all ingame items.

And generally, the items without decay stats aer so rare, you'll never touch them anyway, so no real loss there.
