Repairing Repairs

[Arcell]

All the crafters complaining:

Have you forgotten that you'll soon have a gigantic role in the economy when materia is introduced? Oh no your repair functionality is marginally decreased! But many people will rely on you for the materia socketing. You lose part of one role, you gain another huge one. Quit complaining.

Agreed. Also, you can get the Dark Matter mats by fighting AND gathering. The only crafting class that doesn't benefit from a gathering class (yet) is Leatherworker, so it's a good idea anyways to use a gathering class if you want more materials. And crafters are needed to do repairs!

low level crafters, most likely, won't be able to use the materia system to any extent. High level crafters won't be hurt by this, but the lower ones will. 25k a month doesn't sound very promising..

That figure is pure speculation, though.

Are you telling me that the only way for low level crafters to make money is from selling repair mats and doing repairs themselves?
