Repair system discussion

[Alhanelem]

Ok, 13 slots which is roughly 65,000 to 130,000 gil to repair all to 99%

Or, you could have a player do it for a small fraction of that cost.

The system requires that an item be 100% to sell it in the AH. Selling it to an NPC requires nothing

Except for random junk materials, you will almost always get far more gil selling items to players than to NPCs. You can also sell far more items at once (30 if you count your player bazaar) than FFXI allowed, so it's not really that hard to sell stuff.

To also answer the question about end game repairs, When I need money I’ll do the guild leves when I need quick repairs 99% is just as good as 100%. So while your waiting around for that measly 1% I’ll be back in the fight.

Again, if you like burning gil, that's your perogative. If I do 99 leves I'd have to repair several times; so I might make 700k or more, but i'll also probably spend 150-200k on repairs. If I took those repairs to a player, i'd keep a lot more of the gil I obtained. You're wasting as much as 20-30% of your leve income on repairs. That's honestly a pretty high percentage, considering it's basically a tax. Instead of flushing that gil down the drain, when players repair your gear they get the gil and you saved a lot of it.

The repair system is not broken.
