Let us FIX gear to over 100%!

[Seif]

God I hate gear damage.
It's like playing an FF game with a pt member constantly poisoned to some degree. FF games have let me revel in my OCD perfection (constant saves 99tents phoenix downs everything on my party at all times etc.) until gear damage came along.

I wish gear could be repaired to over 100% so you could play a while knowing that ALL your gear is in top condition and it's going to take a while before the negative statuses kick in.

Let me pay a little extra or use more materia to fix my gear to 500% please?

Also I'd like to know what others think it's a foreign thought that somebody would actually like gear damage of any kind...

buy 5 of the same equip then your problem is sloved.

But surely 100% is 100%, if 100% is 500% then 100% is only 20% and so repairing to 100% would still be 100% and 100% would be heavy gear damage. If something is repaired then it is repaired.

I disagree with you OP.
My opinion is that 100% must be reserved for crafters, as done in the current system.
As true classes, Crafters must keep some sense in this game, and repairs is one of the things that give sense to them.

It is crazy how some people consider the game only through their own experience, and not as a whole...

i'd like over 9000% so i can be like "YEAH WELL MY GEARS OVER 9000" to people who play wow :x

This OP is ludicrous. However, i wouldnt mind seeing the rate in which things degrade being touched up again.
I was grinding on coblyns a few nights ago for around 2 hours and had to repair my flametongue 3 times. I'm only under-ranked for that item by 1, so this was a bit on the ridiculous side of things.

[Jabo]

I don't like it too, but gear alteration rate seems okay to me now. In the "old days" it was way to fast.

+1,+2,+3 versions improve durability btw, if it is really a important issue for you.

Repair costs got also reduced a lot. Even Rank 50 gear can be repaired for fair gil now, if you really need to get your equipment repaired asap.

@Leenk
You can be 20 ranks belove the optimum rank or 1. Doesn't make a difference.
But 3 times in 2 hours seems a bit too much. Never had to repair that much and i grinded a lot solo, too.
And there is a reason why its called optimum rank. Weapons should always be of the appropriate rank, because the item alteration is 3-4 times slower than.
It is most certainly a good thing to force people to wear stuff appropriate for their rank, if you ask me.

btw
A Ash Macahuitl +2 is even at rank 30 a bit better than the Frostbite. It is most certainly way batter for rank 25-30.

I'd prefer they just got rid of damaged gear altogether. What a stupid and annoying concept. It's one of the many reasons why I liked FFXI over all the other run of the mil WoW-copycat games. Repairing gear is stupid, and its extremely annoying in FFXIV.

[Seirra_Lanzce]

Then what about crafters? are they stupid too? WoW is cheap stake repair system, they remade it in a way that is isn't so significantly used which is not like FFXIV where repair is constant for they have proper class to deal with the system. In which case Crafters have voice in this game, and hope Yoshi-P will see to it that even crafters have their place in the world of Eorzea.

But surely 100% is 100%, if 100% is 500% then 100% is only 20% and so repairing to 100% would still be 100% and 100% would be heavy gear damage. If something is repaired then it is repaired.
