Armor durability question

do armor pieces give less protection when they arent at 100% durability? like say for example my gloves are at 10/14 durability, would i take more damage from physical attacks because of that? also does the visual indicator that shows your armor pieces are at yellow/red only serve as a reminder that you need to get them repaired or is yellow when your armor starts giving less protection?

Yellow means it is going to break and lose effectiveness. Red means it is broken and is ineffective.

It works until it doesn’t.

To add; when weapons break, you cannot equip them.

When armor breaks… ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

… Okay no, armor stays on, just stats and armor doesn’t add to your character.

To add on to this, there is a slight difference with how yellow items work in classic and retail.

Retail yellow: item has less than 20% durability points remaining.

Classic yellow: item has 5 or less durability points remaining.

Since most items in the game have more than 25 durability points, this means you will see yellow armor far less often than you are used to seeing it before it breaks and turns red.
