Armor repairing, what do you think about it?

friends.shellmates get everything from me for free
or at least i try to, they still refuse to take it for free and pay me

as far as some of ther 200k+ items out there, i used to wonder about that too til i leveled up everything enough to actualy make them myself
and OMFG the ammount of synths needed in some of them hurt.
Cavalry bows for instance.
Takes carbon fiber, which is a 45 alchemy recipe. which cost 100k on its own to make 3! so there is 35k or so gil on its own for that one material. Add in everything else, and you have done around 10+ synths already, and had to go through the hassle of finding an alchemist who can actualy make the stuff(and hasnt quit the game, which is the case on Besaid right now, all the 50 alchemists quit, and the closest active one i know of is me, and im only 42)
then you add in the 5 more synths it takes to make the next upgrade of that bow
and the 7 or so more synths to make the next upgrade...and you realize how much time it can actualy take to make some of these items. And it more then justifies some of the markups on them.

Heh heh. I should clarify what I meant. The upper level weapons, I can appreciate it. I'm fine with 200k+ for a rank 40 or 50 bow, Maybe even 3 or 400k

But a rank 26 Axe? No way. I got the rank 30 axe for 150k. And it's more complicated to make!
