Request: Item Repair

[Giantbane]

In a perfect world:

• You would not need to switch classes to repair gear. You would just be able to repair based on any DoH classes you've leveled up.
• Others could "request repair" in the same way that "request meld" works
• Grade 1-5 dark matter was removed and replaced with just "Dark Matter" (no grades). Lvl 1-10 gear would require 1 dark matter to repair, 11-20 would require 2 dark matter, 21-30 requires 3, etc. Dark matter would stack up to 999.
• You could perform partial repairs on higher level gear. If grade 1-5 dark matter was removed and replaced with just "dark matter", then lvl 50 gear with 80% durability or higher would only require 1 dark matter, 60% or higher would require 2, etc.

That's EXACTLY what I was suggesting several times here and would like to see implemented.

And to all why say it's not saving any (substantial) amount of gil doing self repairs - it IS up to 3 - 4 times cheaper than via NPC so it definitely is worth it and once you'll get into habit of using it (and put the repair icon to your hotbar) it's become fairly easy and more fleaxilble as you can repair anywhere outside without looking for NPC - indeed apart of dungeons which is I believe intentional design anyway.

I was doing my own repairs for a while. I'd get the dark matter for "free" since there wasn't anything else to use company seals on. But it was tedious. Took me longer to find 1 piece of gear I want to repair in my inventory (after swapping to the appropriate class) than it does to find a repair vendor. They're everywhere.

As a tank, with the increased roulette rewards, repair is so minimal a cost now I don't even bother. Self repair is just a hassle with all the menu swapping and the fact that it's 100% cost no matter how much you repair. It's simply not worth it to me in terms of time vs money saved. I wish this process was streamlined greatly.
