How can I repair my pouch?

If your pouch degrades, you can:

• Take it back to the Dark Mage for free.
• Repair pouches by talking to Wizard Korvak located in the Runecrafting Guild. He replaces medium pouches when lost, a fee of 9,000gp to repair your large pouch and 12,000gp to repair your giant pouch.
• Once unlocked and 67 magic, use the Lunar Spellbook to cast NPC Contact to contact the Dark Mage and he will repair your pouches while saving the long trip to the Abyss.
• After collecting 139,760 livid produce and 75 Magic, cast Repair Rune Pouch from the Lunar Spellbook. This also makes pouches more resistant to degrading.
