==Background==

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.
