Thread: Will 2.2 include a "Repair All" option?

the reason the mender npc is favored are simple:

1) the need to switch between each DoH for each part concerned.
2) the fact we can't gather anymore the dark matter
3) mender npc are simply easier than player repair.

you want the repair from player more used? simple, put back dark matter in gathering, make it's easier to repair stuff as player by not switching between class, if you have the class at the right level, even in dragoon you must be able to fix this.

why do i put the lack of gathering to the reason? people don't save a lot by doing player repair. actually exept if you use the seal of grand company you save almost nothing.

As @Felis says.. is really easy to repair all and only take few seconds with how changing class so quickly.



when you click on it it will pop out a window and list all the items that you can repair on your current class,

WITH how easy it is to change equipment, i dont see how is a hassle, click on class to repair, click on repair > Repair all .

Just make it so that as long as someone has the right DoH leveled, they can repair anything, anywhere, provided they have the dark matter, without actually needing to change to a crafter. All that class switching is a convoluted mess, and it won't work on the fly during a DF instance. Should be able to repair others' gear this way too.

Materia Melding should also be streamlined like this. While you're at it, make the menus more convenient and stop resetting to the top of the list with every. single. meld, it's so incredibly bothersome.

let's be honest, cost aside, how many action do you need to repair from the mender?
4 click:
- click on the npc for get the menu
- click on repair
- click on all repair
- click on validate

it's over!
how many if you use repair from player?almost the same number multiplicate by the number of class...
immersion must'nt come before gameplay and that one it's a perfect exemple.... on cover of immersion and realism...we are forced to spend 5-10 minute for repair all the stuff when it will take 20 second at worst with a npc...
that the reason of why people don't use the repair.

5 10 minutes? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? it only takes few seconds with gear changing, and hitting the REPAIR icon button on your Hotbar, granted if you drag the repair button from the Action & Trait menu to your Hotbar.

I would propose the next scenario for DoH repairs.

First of all DoH repair should use like 4x Dark Matter (with it's cost reduced 4x) to be able to repair a fraction of damage (for example if item has 80% durability it currently has no sense to do it) and in this case you will be spending 1 Dark Matter for every 25% repaired.

Next Repair should be a General action with interface similar to NPC repairs with a list of all damaged gear and repair all button. You may highlight gear which you can repair (having respectful DoH class leveled) and instead of total cost in gil you get a total amount of Dark Matter consumed.

You may later implement a feature like "Request Repairs" similar to "Request Meld".

Though I do understand that Melder NPCs are currently one of the best gil drains but you can actually increase repair and dark matter costs if you can implement simple and convinient DoH repair system so that DoH repairs will be slightly cheaper than current NPC and new NPC repairs will cost more.
