Unified Cyrodiil Repair Kits
Cyrodiil Repair Kits have now been unified! Going forward you’ll no longer acquire Siege Repair Kit, Keep Wall Masonry Repair Kit, Keep Door Woodwork, and so on. Now, there’s just a single Cyrodiil Repair Kit that will work on all the structures that used to require individual repair kits. These new kits can be purchased for 250 Alliance Points or 90 gold from various merchants, and can also be found in Rewards for the Worthy.

  • Below are the repair rates for different items:
    • Keep Door – 5,000
    • Keep Wall – 5,000
    • Bridges & Milegates – 5,000
    • Siege Weapon – 20,000
  • Note the old repair kits in your inventory have not changed and will still work as before.
