-Durability refers to a property on [[item]]s that is an in-game indication for how damaged a piece of equipment is. Characters need to spend [[gold]] to repair items to keep them in usable condition. Items that run down to 0 durability become unusable, until they are repaired.

 The [[D3 Team]] has varied their stance on durability throughout the game's development. Early on there was no durability on items, and the team said it might remain gone, since repairing was annoying. As of August 2010 though, and the reveal of the [[Artisans]], durability was back, with durability values on all items and a [[repair]] option in the [[blacksmith]]'s interface.

 Most equipped items had durability in both [[Diablo 1]] and [[Diablo 2]], and had to be repaired periodically. In Diablo I items that went to zero durability vanished and were lost permanently. This penalty was softened in Diablo 2, with items simply becoming unusable once they went to zero durability. Other durability modifications were also introduced, including item modifiers that granted extra durability, self-repairing items, and a convenient "repair all" button on the various NPC blacksmiths.

 ==Blizzard on Durability==
 Item durability has been mentioned in passing a few times, but no detailed comments on it have been forthcoming. [[Jay Wilson]] mentioned it while talking about [[death]] and other gold costs in an interview in mid-2008. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/jay-wilson-from-leipzig-5/]

-The [[D3 Team]] has varied their stance on durability throughout the game's development. Early on it was said to be out of the game, but in the most recent comments, from August 2010, Jay Wilson described a durability hit (necessitating expensive repairs) as the chief [[death]] penalty in the game.

-In most [[RPG]]s, durability on items functions as an important [[gold sink]], especially in the [[end game]], and in that light it is unsurprising that it's returned in Diablo 3.

 ::'''Question:''' ''I looked around but wasn't able to find anything about if durability will be making a return, i kind of hope it doesn't as it was sort of a pain. Then again it is also a good way to keep players from getting super rich, so is it coming back?
