There's something I don't get about self-repair

I have the required Grade 5 Dark Matter
I'm level 50 Miner/Botanist (My Paladin is level 44 and the crafters are anywhere from 24 to 38, Fisherman and Alchemist are still level 1)
I try to repair gear with level 33 and 38, but get a window saying I'm not high enough level.

What am I doing wrong here? Is there a quest I need to complete? Must all my classes be above a certain level? Is the system broken?

It will depend on the level of the specific crafter required to mend the item. The class and level required is specified in the item information window.

Ahh, I need my blacksmith class to be a certain level. I was under the impression it was the class using it that was important. Thanks.
