When to repair

[hatmankh]

What is the optimal condition to repair an item at? You would think it's 0 or 1% but I've heard if you let an item drop below a certain condition, it loses more max condition when repaired.

This is true, repair when it turns red i.e ~15% ?

[pottburter]

Indeed true.
Best is to repair the item before it's condition turns red, where it will lose the most.
