i read about zombies being able to carry rusted old armors and swords, and was wondering if we could restore it do a more effective condition.

I know that an item doesn't last forever and if u use if during a large amount of time it wont last forever, but items from npc monsters are different, they just spawn that way so anyone knows anything?

I havent read anything about weapon restoration sofar, and by reading this i doubt you'll get much good from a zombie , except for maybe the leather chestplate with a hole in it ;)

YE, i guess so, i was just posting this because it would be a great way to start out if you are a rookie in the game, because it says's that even a rookie can kill one because they are so slow, that way i could start out with an armor but i guess i was just bored and fantasizing about darkfall
