Repairing Repairs

[Mugiwara]

lol, after reading all of these post, I think the crafters will be playing FFXVI: farmville extreme. eh, i take that back, farmville is at least a bit more complicated....

but the battle related 1.18 looks good...

It's all going to depend on how frequent this dark matter drops via leves (battle, local, and gathering), as well as gathering specifically for repair mats (Which I see myself doing unfortunately, gathering is so boring to me). I guess the rank of leve/node is going to regulate which grade of dark matter will drop/be given as a reward. I can see the 1st few weeks grade 5 dark matter going for 50k, maybe this is their new gil sink idea lol

well i hope its gotten for all gathering, because its going to make gathering even less profitable than before, all of the repair items were acting as a constant demand for crafting and gathering, but now, well. if no one needs anything from a craft to repair stuff, the demand will drop drastically for many materials.

probably will give no sp for repairs now, since it used to be delvel based, and it is 100% chance, and faster than crafting.

Its not a horiible idea from a battler who repairs his own stuff standpoint, but from an overall balance of cr5afting gathering and synthesis standpoint, its pretty much going to mess with a ton of balancing. class to class, and exping and profit.

and lowering npc price, means even while they make it supposedly more likely someone will be able to repair your stuff, they have almost to reason too attempt it since you will pay crap, and they will probably get no sp.

Did someone miss the memo?

Dark matter can be obtained from vendor NPCs, as guildleve rewards, and through gathering.

Who knows what the price is going to be from the vendor. So we will have a price ceiling and then have options to get dark matter. So it should be relatively cheap and easy to get repairs.

I guess this is one of those things where they just have to, in this day and age, make everything mediocre again after things seem awesome.

Gain a hundred points for chocobos and airships.

Gain a hundred points for materia system.

Gain a hundred points for housing.

Gain a hundred points for every other good announcement in the last couple of days.

Lose all of them with a stupid idea like this.

This is pretty much how I feel about it... although maybe not so much stupid as it is boring.

As I said in my post in the other thread, this is by far less interesting than needing to come up with the appropriate material.

As I said in my post in the other thread, this is by far less inconvenient and much more user friendly than needing to come up with the appropriate material.

Fixed that for ya

Heh, I'm tired (3:45 am) so I suppose I should just let that go, but I have always found it to be incredibly rude when anyone does that.

I said it's less interesting, and that is exactly what I meant. If a person finds it convenient, that is fine, but go make your own post please.

Sheesh, sorry, I didn't mean for you to take it so badly. I did make a lot of posts of my own in the beginning and throughout this thread, and it's kinda hard to be countering the same old arguments over and over again.

Less 'realistic' but more fantasy, and better for inventories. now I'll only need a max of 5 slots in my inventory for repair mats ^^. No need to keep a bunch of mats pre-made now unless I'm going to make some gear out of them.

It's good in my opinion, as it's not always easy to find materials, and sometimes, you have to invest lot of time searching at market and it's bad for those you live of craft. And we will just carry one kind of item to repair all our equips. That's good news for me.
