A couple of things I'd like to note

I'm guessing 1 dark matter per piece of gear? And if I'm not a crafter, can I have a crafter friend repair my gear for me still?

Yes it is 1 dark matter per piece of gear, but what level of dark matter depends on the gear level. It says on the item description which dark matter you need.

Also, I'm not sure if we can repair other players' gear anymore. I tried looking for the function and it may be gone, possibly to make crafting more appealing. It is possible that I missed it or it's disabled or unlocked, though.
