As the title says, is there any need to repair the bard champion weapon or will it still be just as effective at 70% con?
Depends what stats it got on, if it is +skills/+stats/+hits and you need em then repair it, resistances instead won't get affected by con loss.
+stats and +hits arnt affected by con on "weapon" im pretty sure of that. Besides the +skills the only thing that goes down is (if it was melee weapon) the chance to hit %...prettty much like weapon quality affects hit chance.
wont it stop working as an instrument at some stage? afaik conventional lutes do
what gear said ( song falloff gets shite) + you need harplevel*con% to be higher than the songlevel, otherwise it will play the songs, but at lower effectiveness.
to speak in numbers: a level 50 70% harp will only play "level35" songs, aka end/speed 4, mana3. you will still play your high nurture songs, but they are not as effective anymore.
similar to magestaffs and focus on them ...
If I remember well I was noticing some songs falling off quite suddenly so I was repairing the damn thing. Might be wrong tho or might have been a case of fat fingers
i think it was because you were drunk
