STATES

Item damage has internally been represented with two values Item state, and item permanent damage (or age). The permanent damage and item state will be shown to players like this (best to worst):

State	Permanent damage/age
flawless	new
well-maintained	fresh
satisfactory	seasoned
used	well-seasoned
worn	aged
neglected	old
marred	hoary
unavailing	timeworn
deteriorating	age-old
worn out	antiquated

Note: only the state decides how good the item is. The older an item is, the quicker its state will go down though. So, a (flawless, new) sword, is just as good as a (flawless, old) sword.

Items that are timeworn or older cannot be mended by regular means, and have little value.
