Should you repair spears?

[CrazedSadeyr]

At what point is it better to just make a new spear, rather than repair? Given they’re pretty cheaply made. I’m curious of opinions on other weapons too- which ones do people usually prioritize repairing over getting new ones? I usually don’t repair screwdrivers or meat cleavers, though I do use mean cleavers quite often.

the only spear i'll ever consider repairing is one with a machete attached to it, otherwise its far more efficient to just make a new one.
i prefer using a baton or crowbar as they last a hell of a long time

- Spears usually do not worth repairing at all. When used with attachments, it is better to recover the attachment, repair it and then re-attach it to a brand new spear.

- More common weapons like hammers, pipes, kitchen knives, etc usually do not merit repairs, since it easy enough to find a substitute.

- Repairing should be held for the more uncommon tools like axes, police batons, machetes and hunting knives. It is also technically better to keep such items stored for later, as higher Carpentry allows for more efficient repairs, and higher Maintenance skill practiced with throw-away analogues will greatly improve rare weapon lifetimes.
