about weapon durability and armors:

if you bought one of those gear pack, can the player wear them or is it only wearable by the npc?

how do weapons and armors breaks? is using real life money the only way to repair stuff?

do saddle breaks?

what happens when you die do you lose anything?

what are the best armors and weapons in this game? and what are some of good gears for starters? and is the ones from the shop considered the best?

thx
