Repairs only use dark matter?

Okay thanks guys. That really sucks though, especially from someone who really does enjoy crafting. I know I read about the changes on the lodestone, but was there really a good explanation for the change? I'd really like to know their reasoning behind it.

Honestly, it's the most annoying change to me. I don't see why they couldn't have implemented Dark Matter on top of the existing system.

They say it's for simplicity, to reduce item glut, but I suspect it's also to drain gil out of the economy. (Dark Matter is a bit more expensive than fents/spetches.) But honestly, it was fine before, and made more sense than it does now.

Off-topic, do you have a LS Indoril? Do you need one?

On topic, yeah I thought the fents and spetches were fine. I never really sold a lot of them, but I would use them for mine and my husbands own personal crafting and repairs...not being able to do my own repairs kind of takes the fun out of crafting. I know that I could still do my own with the Dark Matter, but I really REALLY enjoyed kind of "living off the land" so to speak. I don't sell much or many of my raw materials unless I just can't use them for levleing up on, and in that case, I usually just put them on sale to get rid of them for anyone who is just starting to craft. :/....just kinda makes me want to go Q_Q in my pillow about crafting T_T
