Is there any reason these weren't added? I don't think they are OP and they are not bad for prolonging your gear if your willing to risk it.

I was wondering this myself a day or two ago. Also, I think durability drops slightly too fast, armours don't seem too bad but everything else is crazy. I understand the need to not have kit lasting forever to boost the economy but could do with a slight tweak in my eyes. I find myself scared to wear stuff to gold hunt for example. A hour hunt in st my whole kit needs repairing, does seem a bit OTT.

They were removed on the Ace server due to gems working too much. If they have lowered the success rate for gems then I see no reason to not reintroduce them.

I dont however think dura orbs should be brought back into it.

Yep. I level in Coral Rings and DeathGauntlets because of this. Melee classes are punished way too much with how quick their dura gets smashed.

On topic, if the gem's success rate is properly calibrated then I think they'd be a welcome addition.

the dura loss rate on items is crazy on here for melee classes in particular. Pretty much forced to use shopkit for most places through fear of such intense dura loss...

They also count towards the max amount of added stats on an item so weren't worth using. Coker is right due to gems being so easy to get they was removed to try to wear out some of the kits people had
