What are Elemental Equipment items?
Elemental equipment items are items with durability that can activate special stats for your equipment. And what are these tablets for?
Do remember to constantly check on the durability of your elemental equipment item, repair them once the weapon’s durability is low. Repair NPCs are Vicious, Mr. Thunder, Francois, JM From tha Streetz, Cheryl, Neve, Gordon, Sarah, Tara, Rydole & Mos.
NPCs will of course charge you with a repairing fee for repairing your dearest elemental equipment, however, the repair fee varies for each different weapon and weapon’s current durability level.
Best part is elemental weapons can be traded for once with the help of our Platinum Scissors of Karma.
