All of our Stats of the Kingdom videos can be found here (feel free to save the playlist for future vids when they release!) kzfaq.info/sun/PLAjULYyNSE9bm2XnRlEPnwoKcVPdQnG9O

You put so much time and care into these videos, and it shows! I love how you're considerate of other people who may be curious about the mechanic but have not yet played the game! The fact that you've not yet finished the game and still pump out these videos is awesome. Love to see it, looking forward to whatever you make next!

You should tag the video Spoiler free in the name. Will get more views that way

@@Croton _PLEASE_ use your connections to get us the *Durability UI* mod like it was for BotW... I really miss that thing!

I've always used a torch for those...always keep one because they're super easy to replace. Ultimately you do eventually drain durability by accidentally hitting things you don't mean to.

I suspect items with elemental effects do drain anyway too, since they have limited uses and still throw their element when swung. Edit: Update to this: Forrest Dweller weapons don’t drain! So if Tulin is too hard to aim for Wind puzzles and the like, grab a spear and charge it. As long as you don’t actually hit anything it has unlimited uses

If you hit something that actually takes damage, like wooden parts of your construction, it might actually drain

Something I only recently learned is that you can also activate Zonai objects by *throwing* things at them. Don't wanna risk wasting weapon durability hitting the minecart your fan's attached to, but also don't wanna waste an arrow or bow durability? Throw an apple at it! Or a mushroom! Or a... you get the idea, lol.

Only the zonai parts don't drain your durability. I've broken a lot of weapons activating the fan on the back of a mine cart because it hits both

We can’t wait ! ⏰

Im looking forward to something like this too

Much appreciated, thank you!! Still playing through the ends of the game and researching things, but I'm sure years of discovery await!!

Yaaayyy!!!!!

Ugh

@@Cheesesteakfreak Let some enthusiasm into your life, trust me it’s done wonders.

It?

@@justaweeb14688 The series as a whole, sorry for the confusion.

Pristine Gerudo weapons with molduga jaws attached and the Radiant set bonus is a great combo. It takes a few blood moons to put multiples together, but once you have a good collection, you can keep them all as long as you're careful.

i think i just prefer zora weapons the same buff but it also applies to the base weapon damage and doesnt have the weakened durability, you only have to get wet which is easy and last quite a bit

@@legendarydragon2564 sure but it's much more situational, and I'm not about to throw a chuchu jelly every time I want to kill a single enemy. Plus I just duplicate weapons so durability doesn't really matter

@@_ikako_it’s not situational at all… Literally just use Sidon’s water shield to get wet any time you want

It’s worth to mention if you want a lynel killer you should look into a royal guards great sword at low durability with a lynel saber horn it’s great for lynel busting

Oh damn I didn't realise that doesn't use Durability. That's pretty powerful

Rock octoroks repair weapons and change their properties (+damage, durability, or long throw)

Yeah I made my first Back Smacker from a Gerudo weapon with a certain 50 damage club fused to it. But upon realizing that Royal Guard weapons also double at that low durability like someone suggested, I went and hunted a pristine one and moved the Club over. I've got a Broadsword right now, so might hunt a Claymore for that extra like 20 damage after next bloodmoon. Or wait until someone steals enough kills on lynels causing me to gp and break my weapon.

I think Zora weapon is better overall. Higher damage, higher durability you only need to be wet, which is easy using sage, hydrant or chu chu.

probably 25 like weapons. If a consumable thing like a puffshroom is used, i think (i hope, haven't tested yet) it uses the potential 25 durability points, just that 1 point is added, allowing you to fuse potentially 25 items of that kind before using your shields actual durability. durability loss is probably calculated the same way as in botw, see croton's stats of the wild for that. i'm more interested in getting a deep dive into the extra properties a shield can gain from fuse like the ever popular rocket shield which is just one of the many things the shields can do.

What?

@@jetho9859 Rock Octoroks in the Eldin Mountains can repair weapons, shields, and bows to full durability sort of like how they used to turn rusty weapons into normal weapons in BOTW. You basically drop what you want repaired in front of the Octorok and let it suck the weapon in and it will shoot it back at you fully repaired. Not only that, but if it has no modifier, it will give it a white one, and if it has a modifier, it will give it a yellow modifier (better than white modifiers). The modifiers themselves are random, and if you want a specific one, you can save before having it repaired. After you have it repair something, you will need to defeat it and wait until the next blood moon for that specific Octorok to be useful again. Outside of the once per Octorok per blood moon, there is one other limitation. You can't directly repair unique weapons like the Champion or Amiibo weapons. However, you can indirectly do so by fusing said weapon to something that can be repaired and then paying an NPC in Tarrey Town 20 rupees to unfuse the weapon.

@@AlbedoAtoned ok so if I hear you correctly, it wouldn't work on the great eagle bow because it was too unique, however I can bypass that if I fuse the bow to a weapon and then let the octorok eat it?

@@chill6455 Yes. As long as the Octorok can normally repair that weapon. Most weapons can be repaired, it's just the champion/amiibo gear that can't be repaired.

Yes

@@HylianLegendoh hey I've watched some of your vids before!

@@just_v3rd4nt Cool! Nice to meet you in the wild!

This is true, you're right!! It's very helpful when having duplicates, which is why sorting is important

Loving your avatar ❤

I would have thought this was due to some evenness stat of durability between the two weapons / items... but after seeing this video the only thing I can think of is that Nintendo curated a short list of appropriate conversions. If the item can replace the blade, the durability is directly replaced. Obviously some base weapons modify durability as stated in their descriptions. If the item turns a weapon into another "named" weapon, such as a club or an axe, same thing. I noticed that axes have more durability than sticks but it's not additive as shown in this video.

@@SolDizZo it might be more obvious than I think, actually. I have a hunch that weapons fused to weapons break, but items fused to weapons destroy the whole thing. I'll test this theory later.

Judging from my own experiences and the video, it would appear if you fuse a 'low potential durability' item to a 'high potential durability' item (ex. fuse bone arm onto a rusted sword), the low durability item will break first. Most monster parts (horns, fangs, etc.) do not have their own durability, and so break when the base weapon does afaik. Gibdo bone is a special exemption, since it breaks after 1 hit no matter what. Fuse a rusted weapon to a stick? Rusted weapon will break first. Other way around? They will both break at the same time. Bonus Math: Using the spreadsheet linked in the description, a Rusted Claymore has a Maxlife of 8, and MaxExtraLife of 10. I assume this means the max durability when anything is fused to it is 18 total. A Thick Stick has a Maxlife of 14, and MaxExtraLife is empty so I assume that means 25. So max durability when fused is 39 total. If you fused the Rusted Claymore (18) to the Thick Stick (39) it would last for 18 hits before the sword would break, leaving the Thick Stick with 14+7 potential durability. You could then fuse another Rusted Claymore (18), which would last for 18 more hits, leaving the Thick Stick with 3 Durability total left. If you fused the Thick Stick to the Rusted Claymore, after 18 hits they would both break since the Base Weapon broke at that point. Or if you fused a Thick Stick to another Thick Stick, they would both break after 39 hits.

I haven't played with them much to confirm, but the magic wand/rod/staff don't are unique and dont lose durability when fused with a gem or elemental material. Instead the gem breaks leaving a more or less useless magic wand. I run around with a fire-like stone and ice-like stone fused to two deferent staffs to melt or produce ice, haven't used them for combat and they haven't broken yet after hundreds of uses, including stabbing the fire-like staff into ice blocks dozens of times (I now suspect that action doesn't consume durability).

@@PoofPoofification hmm There are maybe 3 categories of assets though. Objects (rocks, axe heads, spikes, boulders, slabs, etc) Items (apples, charges, etc) Weapons (melee, bows, shields). No reason to count other entities like koroks and activated brightbloom seeds.

Triangular flat rocks are an exception - they'll make a sharp weapon for chopping wood instead I have not tested such rocks against grass but I suspect it might still work on cuttable branch barriers

"we're gonna need a bigger rock" without spoiling anything I'll just say: there are some very big rucks that you *can* fuse and they are great for mining

@@EvilBookMan The Triangular flat rocks are called stones, and yeah, they are an "axe" type material. Grass and the branch/vine barriers break in 1 hit from any slashing weapon anyway, so using an axe doesn't have any real effect. Also, unlike with trees, attaching a stone to a spear won't let it cut grass or such barriers. Also unlike hammers in rock-breaking, damage plays a much more noticeable part in cutting trees with axes. But yes, rocks are considered a "hammer" type material , and hammers (and their spear-type sledge counterparts) are good at mining. The "smasher/pounder" material type seems identical in its properties,
