Repair Powder

Repair Powder is a consumable item in Dark Souls, used to maintain the durability of weapons and shields. Its quick application and immediate effect make it essential for adventurers facing long journeys without the chance to rest at a bonfire.

Repair Powder is a precious method of repair on the battlefield, as it obviates the need for a Repairbox.

Usage

Repair Powder is used to restore the durability of equipped weapons and shields. This ensures that players can continue fighting without worrying about their equipment breaking during extended exploration or battles. It is consumed immediately upon use and can be applied without unequipping the affected gear, providing a fast and convenient solution to prevent durability-related issues. While it is less efficient than repairing gear at a bonfire or blacksmith, Repair Powder is invaluable in situations where resting is not an option or when a blacksmith is out of reach.

Acquisition

Merchants

• 3x sold by the Male Undead Merchant in the Undead Burg for 500 souls each.
• Unlimited quantities sold by Elizabeth in the Artorias of the Abyss DLC for 1,000 souls each.

World Locations

• Found as treasure in Darkroot Garden, inside a chest hidden behind foliage near the entrance to the Moonlight Butterfly area.

Enemy Drops

• Commonly dropped by White Good Vagrants.

Notes

• Repair Powder is most effective for managing durability during long treks through difficult areas, especially in zones with no nearby bonfires or blacksmiths, such as Blighttown or Tomb of the Giants.
• It cannot be used on equipment that is completely broken, as it requires at least minimal durability remaining to be effective. Completely broken gear must be repaired by a blacksmith.
• The item’s immediate effect makes it a lifesaver for equipment with low durability thresholds, such as special weapons like the Crystal Greatsword or certain boss weapons.
• Repair Powder only affects currently equipped gear, so players need to ensure they have the correct items equipped before using it.

Trivia

• The description of Repair Powder refers to its origins as a product of sorcery, hinting at a connection to magical craftsmanship and the mysterious technologies of Lordran.
• Its role as a consumable repair item contrasts with the blacksmith services in the game, emphasizing the player's independence during exploration.
• The Artorias of the Abyss DLC introduces Elizabeth as a vendor, marking one of the few instances where an NPC provides unlimited access to Repair Powder.
