How to Repair Your Gear in WoW Forever
To repair gear in World of Warcraft: Forever (WoW Forever), visit a vendor with an anvil icon: Blizzard's New Player's Starter Guide says those vendors repair damaged equipment for a fee, as of November 12, 2026. Blizzard also says to repair as soon as you can after a Spirit Healer revive.
Quick answer: Right-click a vendor that shows an anvil icon and repair there for a fee. Dying and choosing the Spirit Healer damages your equipment's durability, so repair soon. Wowhead also lists an Engineering Repair Bot as a camping perk.
Key facts
- Where: vendors with an anvil icon, per Blizzard
- Cost: a fee; no price is printed in the sources I opened
- After a Spirit Healer revive: equipment durability is damaged, so repair soon
- Camping option: the Engineering Repair Bot repairs gear at a campsite, per Wowhead
How do you repair gear at a vendor?
- Find a vendor with an anvil icon. Blizzard says these vendors can repair damaged equipment for a fee.
- Right-click the vendor to open the shop, the same way you open any merchant.
- Use the shop's repair option and pay the fee. The exact button and the cost display are not described in the pages I opened, so check them in game.
Blizzard's tips also say to repair your equipment, sell unwanted items and save coin for training, bags and travel. Repair is one of the costs to plan for. Selling gray items helps pay for it; see what to keep or sell.
Why does gear need repairing after you die?
Blizzard's guide explains the trade-off. After you release your spirit, you can walk back to your body, or speak to the Spirit Healer at the graveyard. The Spirit Healer option damages the durability of your equipment and may apply Resurrection Sickness, a temporary effect that greatly reduces your effectiveness. Blizzard says to avoid combat until it expires and to repair your gear as soon as you can. The walk back is covered in death and corpse runs.
Can you repair away from a town?
Wowhead's Camping Overview, by Serenal and updated November 11, 2026, lists a Repair Bot among the Engineering camp perks, described as repairing gear and purchasing reagents. Camping is a crafting system that sits beside your professions; campsite visitors can share crafted items that provide buffs, vendors, tradeskill spaces and more. The guide also says all camping features share a cooldown of 1 hour.
What the guide does not tell you is the exact Engineering skill you need or how long a camp lasts. One commenter on the guide says you will most likely need an older Repair Bot for indoor areas, naming a Blackrock Depths room. Treat that as a player report and test it yourself. For the camp basics, see camping and how to sit near a campfire.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to repair gear?
Blizzard's tips say to repair your equipment, and it warns to repair after Spirit Healer revives.
Does repairing cost money?
Yes, a fee, according to Blizzard. No amount is stated.
Does the Spirit Healer repair my gear?
No. Blizzard says that option damages durability.
Who can use a Repair Bot?
Wowhead says campsite visitors can share crafted items, but it does not say who can use a Repair Bot, so check its tooltip in game.
Is there a repair add-on?
This guide does not cover one; some add-ons show reminders, so check CurseForge.
How can the Lore Forever add-on and Willo help with repairs?
The free Lore Forever add-on does not repair anything. It is a fan-made story companion, not affiliated with Blizzard, with no internet access; it narrates the story of the zones, quests and characters around you with generated voices, and, as of November 11, 2026, its What's new says quest givers in the six starting zones speak by default, with other zones' voices in optional packs. Willo is a separate companion app for Windows 10 or 11 and Apple Silicon Macs (macOS 12 or later), free to start with 50 answers a day; you can ask her questions about the game, but she can be wrong, so confirm vendors with the anvil icon in game.
