Self-Repair feels so satisfying.

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.

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 ...

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).

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
