Repairing Repairs

[Firon]

I would have felt better about this if they didn't mention that the dark-matter will be replacing all the repair materials. Would have preferred if they had merely layered it on top, allowing dark-matter to be used to repair all goods, but leaving the current repair mat as it is. Now, there will be no incentive to craft those mats, or to harvest those mats, since we're all going ballistic over dark-matter. I'm crossing my fingers that the mats we currently use will still be in place, but dark matter overlaid, but the wording seems to suggest otherwise.

But I can comprehend this change. It'll probably be better in the long run as well. But at the start of it, it causes half out invent to be worthless. -stares in dismay at all my spetches and fents about to go to waste- Oh well. I can survive it. Certainly, my invent will be much lighter. So, I approve of this change. Time to NPC all my mats. Pimelle's going to be poor from everyone selling to her....

You guys are forgetting they said they are revamping the items used in crafting mats so these old items most likely will not be useless.

True, I forgot they mentioned it but....Hmm...some mats seem to useless when it comes to crafting such as branches and spetches, and the wording on the official lodestone page seems to imply that they'll be utterly useless...

Patch 1.18 will see all repair materials replaced with a universal item called dark matter.

"Replaced" does give it a kind of finale tone that dark matter will take the place of all the mats.

Oh well, I hope you're right, Firon, and that the rest of the mats will be useful in some way or another.

Wasn't it said somewhere that they were going to re-evaluate a lot of the current crafting recipes at some point? If so these items could become useful again or they could be used down the road for other things.
