Well, thats so comprehensive and informative....I wonder why
MA doesn't make such a guide.
That aside, it's late here and I only scanned most of it.
Two things I noticed:
1. You state clothing does not decay.
I might be mistaken, but I've always thought it does, just very slowly. Eventually you will revert back to the jumpsuit (could be bug & my lack of attention)
2. You state that a critical hit from a mob incurs some armor decay.
This could be a misunderstanding on my interpretation of what you wrote. However,
MA has stated that critical hits from mobs skip over armor entirely, causing no decay buy giving you max damage. (
MA often lies, tho)
Thats all I can notice, for now. It's a very impressive guide, which I will direct newcomers to read, if they can.
