When can you begin breaking armor?

[Yugl]

Level 1 characters seem to retain 100% condition even if you make the character wipe multiple times. Is there a quest or level at which players begin to break gear?

I believe durability loss starts at level 10.

I thought 10 too, but when I was getting all of my crafting jobs to lvl5, all of my lvl1 gear was broken by that point.

It's possible the rules are different for DoW/M and DoH/L. Especially considering new players can't unlock the latter until playing the former to level 10.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've had my L1 stuff break on sub-5 jobs, even.

Definitely is before LV10 since my other testing mule had condition wear and her THM is LV5 atm.

I think at level 10 you also start losing durability when you die.

[AnghellicKarma]

Might it be once your first class hits 10, all are henceforth eligible for durability loss?

My mule's first class is THM and has some condition at LV6 though. Possible that wear begins at LV5, but I'm uncertain whether that applies to every class and am uncertain if that's related to a MSQ or level.
