Repair NPCs in Dungeons

[The_NPC]

Always figured the ability to self-repair gear was a "Bonus" reward for leveling a crafting class? (the norm reward being the ability to craft stuff u normally would have to buy in some way). thou I am not against players able to repair other players gear as long as 1 has the mats for it & there is no gil cost, like self-repairing (but thats my personal opinion)

any back to killing enemy npc's for various reasons, good day.

Durability exists as a gold sink.

The only thing i want is a way to show my average gear durability on screen/UI. Like next to the clock. Is that so much to ask? It's going to help forgetful people like me not have to leave a party and make them wait forever or even abandon(especially when you have to leave as a tank/healer) and induce me a 30m penalty. Nobody goes away healthier.

Seems to me like OP can't be assed keeping track of this stuff and staying on top of it

Imagine, you're in Tam Tara hard mode getting past the creepy stuff and suddenly in one of the corridors

A random NPC just standing there for eternity probably having gone insane from being there for all that time, just waiting to repair the gear of adventurers that drop by every once in a while.

"Hey, nice weather we're having, how was your day?" The NPC says

This gives me Resident Evil flashbacks. xD

"Welcome!" *Opens trench coat* "What are you repairin?"

Just by the title, no.

Except if you can give me a good lore reason as why a blacksmith would gently wait for us in the Coil of Bahamut or in Alexander in case we need repairs.

It is the players' responsibility to repair their gear before they enter an instance.
If they have crafters leveled then they should keep some dark matter in their inventories.

Don't spoil the community more.

Allowing crafters to repair other players gear is an option I am willing to consider. But not adding NPCs in dungeons.

Same reason the Allagan droids are still active all over the place to this day!

First Wall PUG I was in had to quit due to the Tank's gear breaking, we don't need more mechanics that punish everyone for someone's mistakes. Arguing against this is pretty lame really, there's no good reason for making things harder than they are in this way.

Which would be kind of ironic when one considers in V1 that was the only way to get gear repaired to 100% at all, NPCs would only repair to 75%.

This would be pretty nice. Slap them at the start of every dungeon/raid. Could be Rowena Merchants she sent out there trying to make a buck too, profiting from Adventurers needing Repairs. In cases of like, Allagan Ruins use Droids. Something like World of Darkness could have a voidsent that is just very greedy for gold. Sharlayan constructs in Gubal and Anti-Tower and the Arboretum, etc...
