Tbh at the moment when the armour reach 98% its gonna be a other id so actually a other item, when it (deg) it becomes untreadable and should say the lowest possible cash out amount or 0 in the risk
PVP armour and weapons should say their actually worth in (cash out option worth) atm of wearing. makes legit no sense, you can bring a full set that will say ur risking 36k but on kill it could be likely 5k
