Self-Repair feels so satisfying.

So I'm still leveling up all of my DoH classes and I finally got to the point where I have found it useful to start trying to repair my own gear, thanks to 2.28.

Oh my god, where has this been all my life?

Just having the ability to repair my gear whenever and wherever I want without having to spend any money... it just feels so freaking good.

yeah, been levelling my warrior job and 199% is so good because I have level 43 armorer.

The only thing that sucks is that if you're in a dungeon and you move while you're repairing, your hot bars may get blank out.

Sounds like a bug that they'll fix soon. Even then, they added so many QoL changes that it outweighs that bug. Easier to repair, repairs up to 199%, and allowed in duties? Worth. So much worth.

Oh snap that sucks. You will also save tons of gil. By repairing it your self.

savea ton of Gil? Many you guys are penny pinchers, nickel and dimeing sons of a whoreson. I spent 1500 at I needed to severely repair on my Warrior, that's not a big deal.

You technically could always repair your gear with crafting classes, even before 2.28. The only thing that version 2.28 added was the ability to repair gear to beyond the 100% durability rating.

So speaking in a crafty way, you spent 3k~ gil, since crafters repair to 199%

You can't compare it like this though as to get 199% (-ish) status you'd need to use two dark matters in two repairs plus you need still to purchase (or exchange for GC seals - either way it's not free) the dark matters for repairs. Still - self repair was always cheaper and gil saving - I've never used NPC repairs. And this "Penny pinching" (which is actually 30 - 65% saving on each repair!) will add a lot over time ...

Main thing 2.28 did was making self repairs less annoying; no need to switch Class over and over, or go through lists of your gear. Just hit repair and repair all you have equipped.

101%+ repairs also saves a small amount of waste on Dark Matter, as well as making things even more convenient. NPC repairs always based the cost on the amount repaired, while Dark Matter made no change between repairing from 0% or 5%. Now, you can just hit repair all without any waste of Dark Matter; everything that shows up on the list is <100% condition anyway, so if you have some pieces that are 1% and some that are 90% (very common with DoH/DoL, since they share accessories) it makes no difference.

1 Dark matter for 1 repair. It add +100% and you can't repair if it is at 100% or higher. So i don't know what you mean with 2 DarK matters and 2 repairs.

No - you can't repair items at 100% - indeed it needs to be at 99% or less (but that's not what I was claiming here). If you want to "fully" repair to 199% - as that what was the original comment from Meshico about - from (almost) 0% you'd need to repair it once to (or slightly above) 100%, then wear it down to 99% and repair again (using another dark matter) to achieve 199% - what's not to understand here? The point was that repairing to 199% percent is not cheaper or more benefitial then previous selfrepair to only 100% (indeed only if repaired from almost 0% which I've always did anyway).

Also added repairing without changing to a crafting class. which is the best part of the patch.

Thanks SE this is epic! has made my life so much easier! Now please let us repair gear for other people so we can offer on the spot repair services for a small fee to those who have not levelled crafts :)

It's officially convenient to the point where I don't hate it.

While it only happened to me a couple of times, no more being in a dungeon and seeing all your accessories drop below 10%, wondering if you'll be able to get through it in one piece :X

I love this change. Can fix gear whenever/wherever I want :)

Oh good. I was afraid they'd make me look too persnickety.
Might keep a pair for later then. Right now I'm just leveling crafting.

Feels better repairing here than it did in 1.0
It's glorious

I think the quick repair feature is my favorite thing they've added since the launch of 2.0 lol. Well... 2nd only to the glamour system.

Definitely one of the best things implemented in this game.

Ok
But it is still cheaper as it was before it. Don't just look on the cost of the dark matter, but also how often the gear get repaired.
As example, I repaired around 50%, so a Dark Matter gave me only ~ 50%. Now it give me for the same price 100%. The time between repairs get doubled, and therefore the cost get halved

Drop item to 99% durability, repair

198%

Profit!!

the improvements to DoH repairs are so incredible, one would be hard pressed to find ANY reason to complain about the system now. Short of the whiners who now feel that SE is 'forcing' them to level DoH (I haven't seen anyone like this, but I'm sure they'll pop up eventually) and people like myself who are such enormous hoarders, that the 1 extra inventory spot taken to carry Dark Matters is actually noticeable (but I'll get over it eventually).
