I saw another thread a little while ago with this question that didn't really get answered rather than necro that thread I'm starting a new one.

When decomposing, at the right vendor (weapons at blacksmith, armor at tailors, ornaments at craftsman...) I get a message "min Durability 1 req." I repaired the item. Still same msg. I have the coin, but I'm noticing not even a skill level is shown.

Here is a screenshot. Shows durability, you can see 86k coins in inventory, and you can see Im at a craftsman. Pls help! b:shockedb:byeb:shocked

    Craftsman skill is required to manufacture and decompose ornaments.
    What is your Craftsman's skill level ?

    That's your problem, you need the crafting skill required to craft the item in order to decomp it. All "Min Durability 1 Req" means is that the item needs at least 1 durability in order to proceed. How many chi stones/mirages you get depends on how well repaired the item is, but if durability is 0 then you can't decomp at all.

    It is same as level to craft item, which you can see.

    Before you craft, check what level of craftsmanship the equipment needs. Its usually provided at the bottom-right area of the manfacturing screen.

    If youre a level 3 crafter looking to get to lvl4, as far as weapons go i believe the grade level 4~6 equipments would get you the necessary skill exp.

    Eg. Bows
    Grade 4 - Padded Iron Bow
    Grade 5 - Lightning Bow
    Grade 6 - Ornament Bow

    If your crafting skill level is 2, then you can craft/decompose items of 1-3 Grade only.

    Unless they changed something, it used to tell you what level you had have to decompose the item if you weren't high enough. It was this way as of last week or the week before. I have an item rotting in the bank to decompose because I'm nearly there, but not quite. It showed LV 7 though when I attempted to decomp it. I'll have to check when I'm in town again.

    Edit: It does not say LV anymore.

    What grade is the item? Specifically, what item is it?

    If your craftsman skill is only lv2, and you're in the high-50s, you may need lv3 of the skill to decomp things (and that'll soon be lv4 once you hit 60).

    I tested this a bit more. I had a tailor item that was a 3* item, not fully repaired. It had nothing in the LV and I couldn't decompose it. The start button was greyed out. It was requisite level 74. I have level 6 tailor. I can decompose the item.

    As a long shot, I repaired the item (I'd get more mirage that way anyways). Still nothing in the LV area, but the start button was no logner greyed out. I decomposed the item and moved on.

    I also had a 1* tailor item that I decomposed. The LV area had the LV filled in. I was able to decompose this item without repairing. No muss, no fuss.

    I also tested this with a weapon. I have level 1 blacksmith. I had a high level 3* weapon rotting in the mailbox that had not sold in the AH, so I tested this out. It did not work. Service Request Unavailable, just as it should be.

    Why can't YOU decompose THAT item? I'm not possitvie. If you have the appropriate level to make it, you can decompose it.

    Read the above posts... its just a static message, not a dynamic one, so its ALWAYS there even if the item is fully repaired

    I have a feeling that this Is actually a known bug (possibly) YOU DO need craftsmen not tailor to decomp a necklace BUT it should state this in the decomp window. There are some items in this game that will not decompose irrelevant of your trade skills and usually give the message "Invalid Service Request"
    Send another Bug report to there pile and one day this will be fixed , until then vendor it :/

    The msg "Min durability of 1 is required" probably has nothing to do with your inability to decompose items. If your skill level isn't enough then the "start" button would be disabled. This is probably the case for you since that was a level 6 craft and unless your craftsmanship was also at skill level 6 or beyond ...

    Another possibility may be the button was enabled but it still would not do it then check the message area, where it usually shows how many EXP etc., on the lower left if there was a "invalid service request" that suggested you're at the wrong shop (eg. asking a tailor to decomposing an weapon or asking a blacksmith to decomposing a craft etc.). You need to bring your item to the right shop.

    And you needed to necro this thread why?
