Ever since URW version 3.83 introduced tool degradation to crafting, it is no longer enough to keep your equipment pristine through only the setting [WEAPON_DAMAGE:NO] in urw_ini.txt
For DIY recipes provided in diy_glossary.txt, you can manually replace all instances of [wearpct:num] → [nowear]
BUT tool degradation will still occur when performing skill menu actions (example: felling trees through Timbercraft).
That's just the UnReality of what's been hardcoded.
