    You actually make a business from repairs ? phhfft I don't believe that for a minute.

    Now that materia conversion is in the game crafters have plenty of ways to make money, repairs are no longer needed for extra income.

    And as someone said on Lindblum its quite common for people to only put the correct dark matter up as a reward, but there is no reward or profit because you have to use a dark matter to gain it, sad times if you actually fail a repair.

    I am a heavy gatherer, at least recently since my bro wants a lot of dye colours. I get a hell lot of Dark Matters from gathering, grade 3, grade 4, and even grade 5 when I'm super lucky (mostly from LQ reward), but I can't repair anything grade 5 anyway LOL.

    Then, when people are in a hurry to get their stuff repaired, they put like 5000 gil reward for grade 4 repair, so I make 5000 gil profit in a blink, not even having to pay 1500 gil for the Dark Matter cost. The highest offer I ever found and gotten were 10k gil. So yeah, that's my business.

    Or even when people are offering Dark Matter for repair, I hop on it, use up my free Dark Matter from gathering, get one Dark Matter back, get 300 free EXP. That's also my business.

    Also, I don't mess with materia because I have inventory crisis from all my gathering.

    You can't fail repairs anymore. I think its been that way ever since dark matter was introduced.

    Oh yes, and this. Thanks Estellios. I overlooked that statement from Jinko.

    Yeah so, never losing repair material on repair failure + a chance to repair using 0 dark matters + I get dark matters for free = good business for me, yep.
