Dark Matter, does these still matter anymore?

Make an "advanced repair" quest trait acquired by crafters at level 50.

Having the trait allows you to repair any/all piece of gear without having to swap crafting class.
You can also repair all the gear another person is wearing.

Plus, what others said:

• Replace all grades of Dark matter with a single generic grade.
• Make the repair NPC repair only up to 99%. (100% is a perk for having someone repair it)

Make the repair NPC repair only up to 99%.

Functionally, gear going up to 99% from the repair NPC is pointless. I'm to understand in 1.0 that it was the requirement to resell gear, but in 2.0 everything is bound to you upon first use anyway - so it's completely irrelevant that you can't repair that 1%.

I heartily support the 'one click repair' improvement though. If they're going to continue enabling this as A Thing, then it should be done in a way that is just as convenient to access as using any Mender NPC.

Actually I saw it more as a perk for having someone repair it rather than using the mender.
Also, you can't store anything in the armoire that is less than 100%.
