Keep repairs class specific

[Xmbei]

but ALC and CUL have nothing to do with gear or weapons... just potions, dyes and food. So until I see an Alchemist make armor or weapons' I would personally not like to see a CUL or ALC repairing my gear! Who wants their gear to smell like rancid food a few hours later of wear? Not this guy! XD!!!

ALC makes plenty of gear. . .

I guess CRP doesn't make Crab Bows, then. . .

but we aren't talking about CRP now are we?

last I checked they weren't exempt from these features.

In context, I was saying that ALC makes gear, at least as much as CRP makes Crab Bows. So, saying that ALCs have nothing to do with gear is completely wrong.

Carpenter can make weapon/armor(bow, staff, wooden sword, shoes, mask...etc) and upgrade them.

I bet if the player population were much higher, keeping repairs limited to specific classes wouldn't be that big a deal. As it stands, gear repair is another fatigue system in the sense that it just serves to slow you down.

But really, what incentive do crafters have to repair gear? Virtually none as far as I can tell(other than more gil maybe, but who isn't a gillionare at this point?). How can we fix this? Well for starters, crafters could earn "respectable" amounts of SP from repairing fellow adventurers' gear. Maybe crafters could earn company seals or guild marks for meeting a "repair quota" that would reset every set period? Maybe they would get greater amounts based on the rank of the gear they're repairing.

Whatever they do, I still feel that if they can't make repairing "fun", then they should scrap it after awhile because right now it still feels rather superfluous.
