The Repair skill of an NPC dictates the maximum status they can repair to, based on the same maximum status formula used in Fallout three. The total cost to repair is independent of one's Barter and Repair skills and is calculated with this formula:

{\text{Repair cost}}=2\left({\text{Value at max capped repair condition}}-{\text{Value at current condition}}\right)

If repairing an item were to increment its value by thou caps, the repair would cost 2000 caps, essentially a 100% overhead.

Items whose HP values still circular to 100% will not offering the pick to repair/maintain them, even if they show less than maximum cap value, and will non appear in the listing of spare weapons when repairing another of the same type.
