well i hope its gotten for all gathering, because its going to make gathering even less profitable than before, all of the repair items were acting as a constant demand for crafting and gathering, but now, well. if no one needs anything from a craft to repair stuff, the demand will drop drastically for many materials.

probably will give no sp for repairs now, since it used to be delvel based, and it is 100% chance, and faster than crafting.

Its not a horiible idea from a battler who repairs his own stuff standpoint, but from an overall balance of cr5afting gathering and synthesis standpoint, its pretty much going to mess with a ton of balancing. class to class, and exping and profit.

and lowering npc price, means even while they make it supposedly more likely someone will be able to repair your stuff, they have almost to reason too attempt it since you will pay crap, and they will probably get no sp.
