And request its speedy implementation.

Nah. Repair is already messed enough...if ye will only need grade 5 dark matter then better just remove all grades from them or even remove repair materials...

...or even remove repair itself...this dev team loves removing stuff anyway...it would be just another feature removed...

Except they're not talking about removing anything, but letting us use one highest-grade dark matter in place of others.

Ya but if i can use Dark matter to repair 1-50 what even have 1,2,3,4 dark matter to start with for that just make it 1 and remove the others.

I'm all for saving room and making thing easy but it seem soon they remove the repair system all together if this keep up. I hope SE listen to there player base but not for every dam request people ask for,.

Because it's a "reward" for being able to use Grade 5 DM.

Yeah. Just call it Dark Matter. No need for multiple grades.

It's still optimal to use the "correct" level of Dark Matter for your repairs if you don't have money coming out of your ears and you want to save some gil. Grade 1 matter is MUCH cheaper than Grade 5 matter. I don't have grade 5 Dark Matter in abundance because I don't farm Ifrit, so this OPTION to be able to use Grade 5 matter in place of the lower levels ( and grade 4 for 1, 2, and 3 and so on) is great in case you're short on the lower level matters. You sacrifice money for convenience.

Yep, whole point. I'm, in my option, sacrificing a little trickle of money continuously for 3 slots(I don't carry Grade 1). So worth it.

I don't think they should remove the lower tiers.

Mainly because how would a new player afford Dark Matter if it is priced at Grade 5 prices, you could say lower the cost but then that defeats the purpose of the gil sink for higher level players.

I think the best solution would be allowing all grade dark matter to be used in fixing items lower than its tier.

For example:-
Grade 1 - <10
Grade 2 - <20
Grade 3 - <30
Grade 4 - <40
Grade 5 - <50

I would suggest to the developer removing repairs completely and have something like Rift's dealth penalty instead, ie losing 10% vitality and piety everytime you die, an NPC to recover it for a price.

Lower-tier Dark Matter is ridiculously cheap if you buy it from NPCs. This is an inventory space issue.

Please implement this sooner than 2.0!

1.2 would be dreaming too high but ill settle for 1.21 :p

Please fix it, but I'd prefer classes to be revamped first.

Personally, I hate to have to keep grade 1 Dark Matter on me just to repair my Moonlet.

They should just have 1 type of matter, but require you to use up 5 matters to repair what would be a grade 5 equipment

And the same with materia attachment, erase all that carbonised/fossilised/whatever matter and just have a universal matter for that but requiring differing amounts of matter to be used per gear slot/level of item being melded to.

This would clutter up your inventory more than now...

How would it lol ?

A stack of 99 dark matter could fix 19 lvl 40-50 items or 99 lvl 1-10 items.

I also agree with this. There should be a varying cost to repairing higher level gear verses lower level gear. As for would this still cause inventory clutter, couldn't they also change the max stack size to 999? Really, you won't be away from a vendor long enough to burn through even 99 anyhow. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the camp vendors sell dark matter now too, in addition to a repair NPC being present?)

I'm glad the devs are finally planning on doing this, let's hope it gets implemented before 2.0.

My only concern is that only grade 5 was mentioned in rukkirii's post, I hope they plan on making it so all grades of dark matter can be used for their current lvl range and below.

You ppl are so retarded you can't even see it. Having to use more Dark Matter in place of just using one(1) grade type of Dark Matter and that saves inventory space?? Seriously, stay in school kids.

Forget all that non-sense and go with Grades since most of the players need to learn how to past from low to high some way, some how. Grade (1) Dark Matter for lv.1-10 repairs. Grade (2) Dark Matter for lv.11-20 repairs,etc. Use one (1) Dark Matter at a time (or just pay the man to repair you equipment for you). =/

Ifrit droppings wouldn't smell so bad compared to this lame DEV team request.
