    Repair in dungeons! Please show the devs how essential this is!

    It's incredibly inconvenient that we can't repair our equipment in dungeons. My WHM cane just broke in a dungeon and my healing decreased by at least half, rendering me totally useless to heal through the dungeon.

    I had no choice but to drop out of the dungeon, ruining things for the other players and giving myself a 15m DF lockout.

    It's especially ridiculous since I had all my Carpenter equipment and Dark Matter right there in my inventory.

    Show the devs how important it is that we make DF groups less inconvenient! This will help with the bad reputation DF groups and the FFXIV community in general is getting. Add in your support on this thread for dungeon repairs!

    No way do I want another way for people to be jerks in Duty finder, like changing to a crafting job and crafting the whole time.

    Is it really that hard to be prepared for a dungeon?

    What condition was it in when you went in? If items cant survive from 100% condition then yes I agree with in-dungeon repairs. Otherwise you really should have all gear repaired before you enter.

    Although I haven't had any trouble remembering to repair my gear before a dungeon, I don't think it would hurt the game if they added an armour mender NPC at the start of the dungeons.

    How does that happen?
    I think if you entered a dungeon and wiped on the first trash pull continuously in the quickest way possible till the time ran out , you'd be at like half durability at the end.
    At least, that's how slow it seems gear goes down. I wouldn't mind a mender in the dungeons, but I hardly think it's "essential".

    Even in 1.0, where it was possible to switch the class in the dungeons, we repaired our stuffs between the dungeon runs, not during a dungeon run.

    Repair your weapon before you join the DF or have a 2nd weapon in your armory chest.

    So long the NPC is outside of the entrance.

    I really doubt that tons of people would join dungeons, switch to a crafting class, and be a big useless troll. That's just the same as going AFK in a dungeon now and I don't see that happening outside certain endgame things where they want to be carried (and measures will be taken against that BS soon, I'm sure.)

    Anyway, if you're concerned about them changing classes, maybe they could implement a repair for dungeons where you just change to your crafting class automatically when you click repair on an item, and then it automatically switches you back to your combat class right away after the item is repaired. Thus you aren't out of your combat class for more than a second. Problem solved

    Right, right, you should always be prepared and all that. But we're human, if people end up making a mistake and forgetting to check all their equipment ahead of time, which will always inevitably happen somewhere to some group, does that really have to ruin the dungeon run for everyone?

    So many people are complaining about how bad the community is, and how awful DF groups are. Part of the reason for this is that tiny, reasonable mistakes that tons of people make can ruin the whole dungeon run, because FFXIV makes their dungeons less convenient than other MMOs. Why would you be against them making DFs a little more convenient in a way that makes sense???

    Allowing for a few mistakes like this in dungeons make DF groups less frustrating, and doesn't make the gameplay easier or anything.

    Seriously, a slippery slope argument? >_>

    It doesn't make any sense to be able to buy stuff when you're in a dungeon, but it does make sense that you can repair your equipment if you have the crafting class leveled and the dark matter with you.

    Are you all so desperately against convenience and good quality-of-life mechanics that make the community happier?

    She has a point - It truly isn't hard to prepare before you hit that Duty Finder lol.
