Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Repair Hammers and Tongs

I have seen from time to time people discuss how Repair Hammers and durability should work, but i am confused as there is also tongs in the game that do infinite repairing, so why are they never mentioned?

Am i missing something? Surely i can not be the only one who is aware that we got repair hammers that is consumable and tongs that you can use as much as you like.

This is correct. The tongs do not consume on repair. I'm assuming the devs just overlooked this when they changed hammers to be consumable. Since I didn't care for that change, I'm glad that they undermined their efforts to inconvenience players. Now that this has been brought up, it will likely be taken away.

Thing is that tongs has been able to do this since start of early access, and they should be aware of it considering that someone must have coded it as such, and it has been reported about before this post.

But we will see how soon it is removed, cause i agree that i see no point in having both of them existing.

I believe Swen said they were looking to redo the whole durability thing, or at least revert it back to infinite repairs, but it didn't make it into this patch.

yes they made a thread about it, but they always talk about repair hammers and never mention tongs, my guess is because tongs aint suppose to repair in the first place, but again i dont know for what reason tongs is never mentioned.

I think originally they intended hammers to repair weapons and tongs to repair armor, but that aspect got lost pre-alpha, and that both items remain is sort of a relic of that.

Tongs have a secondary use in that you can combine them with cloth scraps to make a 2H mace.

I have noticed that it can be crafted into the mace ye, i dont mind Tongs remains in the game as a crafting material, just hoping they patch out how both is able to repair in different ways, i would not even mind to much if both can still repair as long as they do it under same condition, in current state it would be that both are consumables.
