reword or gathering is fine, but buying it from NPC's why?

If the price will be high, a well played gilsink method indeed.

wrong. If you can make it, you can repair it, this was already fixed.

hmm more rooms for my item collection, yes please.. and what-za.. why reduced the fees of NPC repairs! THAT IS... stoopid.. :C

So I wonder if this takes the place of this week's Letter from the Producer?

Very on the fence about it. Less reason for carrying around a ton of mats which is fine, but repairing everything with one type of item seems kind of retarded.

A very welcome change.

Making the repair system more practical, even though sacrificing realism, will surely attract more players and this is what this game needs right now.

ya but i hope it does not go on and take all the realism from the game and make it like wow type game.

I guess this is one of those things where they just have to, in this day and age, make everything mediocre again after things seem awesome.

Gain a hundred points for chocobos and airships.

Gain a hundred points for materia system.

Gain a hundred points for housing.

Gain a hundred points for every other good announcement in the last couple of days.

Lose all of them with a stupid idea like this.

i never asked for anyones help and i had 5 crafts every gathing class and 4 battle classes. :) I'm currently no longer playing because laptop doesn't handle the game well.

I picked gear that was for all jobs to get the most outa my space. And only used mats when needed. But here is the thing. I just stated 1 word. And now have 2 "adults" (lol) on my case for it. I do not hate the change. I just think it is silly. I simply take pride and what i do. Not my fault you guys over complicated things for w/e reason you have. And only hopeless people are those who insult another person about a video game. You guys take this mmo way to seriously. You always have and i find that kinda sad tbh. But w/e you guys are getting on my case over a stupid pointless reason.

have fun with you duct tape XD really it is too funny we gonna have ffxiv version of duct tape.

How exactly is the idea stupid?
Because it is too "simple"?
Well, I always thought I have better things to do than pull repair materials from retainer A and B, repair, then stuff them back to not waste too much on-body inventory space. And yesterday I had to repair my doublet. Unluckily I was in Gridania, so there were no Fents on sale. So I had to run to the local guild, buy some cotton, craft some cloth, turn it into spetches, and finally repair my doublet. Which left me with 3 unneeded cotton, 2 clothes and 11 fents in my inventory, and 20 minutes less in my pocket.

Not exactly what I had planned for my daily 2 hours of gaming.
