Taking no extra Repair costs on Flame Leviathan.

[Shleven]

Basically, if you are trying to do Flame Leviathan 4 towers the proper way for the first time, you will find that you wipe alot in a short space of time, taking heavy gear damage quickly. Your vehicles are affected by the item level of your gear, but if your gear is broken it will not affect how much you hit for. Therefore if you let your gear durability drop to 0%, and continue your progression on the boss, it will make no difference to your damage output or vehicle Hitpoints, but will prevent you from taking any further durability loss therefore saving you money.

I know there is a brilliant guide for doing Flame Lev four towers easily, but there is a chance you can get banned for it, and there is not much sense of self achievement in doing it this way in my opinion.

It is easier just to remove the gear after entering the vehicles, but this is a nice reminder when you already got your gear broken.

The whole point is that the vehicles improve with the level standard of your gear. If you go in naked your vehicle will be doing next to no damage.

Don't go naked when you enter, enter, then take off gear

[Metzger]

Yep, having your gear on when entering the vehicle and then taking you gear off while out of combat works as well. Your damage/health from the vehicle will act as though they are still scaling from the gear you had on when first boarding the vehicle. I guess this is another way of doing things, but I'd rather pay 0g than pay ~70g for a full repair.

As I said earlier, this is good if you allready have wiped a couple of times and your gear allrdy is on red, but most ppl pref 0 in front of 100g rep bills (from a DKs perspective).
