Repairing Repairs

[Kel]

To simplyfy repair mats (to save inventory space) is a good idea, but I don't like reapir mats simply being replaced by those meaningless dark matts, instead, I still prefer fent to repair clothes, leather spetch to repair leatherwear, branch to repair woodstuff, etc. SE, you can just invent some universal fent, spetch ot branch for repairing use, but not those dark matts.

Another thing I don't like is now a crafter has to spend more gils on those damn dark matts to repair their own stuff, rather than making repair mats by their own with very low cost. I do hope those dark matts will be easy to obtain or selling for very low price by NPC.

And goodbye my 1M gils of Spoken Blood which I just bought 2 days earlier...

Can anyone say finally?!

Finally The Rock HAS COME BACK...to the Lodestooooone!!

Sweet thats about 6-8 inventory spaces I had full of spetches I no longer have to carry around, and a few fents. I am definitely in favor of this big time.

I think those that oppose this change are framing the decision in the wrong way. I think for the dev team it was either
a. get rid of repair system all together
or
b. simplify repair system

They opted to keep the repair system. I think this is a good compromise decision that removes the hassle of repair without removing the feature itself. I think of it kind of like the Auction House v Market Ward. They could remove market ward or make it usable and convenient. I like that they are going with the latter instead of the former in these choices.

if anything the NM gear repairs will be simpler. I only know of one type of enemies that drop Spoken Blood and Void Glue is a R33 ALC synth

I made this suggestion to the SE Suggestion Box and on Eorzeapedia back in September.

GOOD.

I don't think the majority signed up to play "semi-realistic-not-really crafting simulator". Give me my piss easy item repairs which shouldn't even be in game in the first place so I can get out and actually do things.

I cant recall a time where the repair system actually prevented me from doing anything. Maybe i dont play near as much as you, but i've only even had a single instance where my sword was so bad off that i had to tele into town to fetch my repair mats

I'm glad to see this. Now I don't have to carry multiple materials unless I'm spamming out craft grinds or it was something from gathering leves I just did.

I like this because for one thing, weaver needles are a pain in the butt to get the repair mats for. Whetstones you get from rocks found QUARRYING and there's so many of those points to go around compared to primary mining nodes and you have to contend with other drops from the same point (don't ask me to waste gathering points mining nodes to get back to the quarry point). I'm sure those with NM drops with insane find repair items will enjoy an easier method too.

i never had inventory issues I was smart about it. And I wasn't talking about immersion either. It just makes sence to use a branch to repair a bow. Read further though with the universal item any craft can repair any gear. so a woodworker can repair heavy armor.


SE didn't force players to carry anything. Players did it themselves out of lazyness to use their gathing classes to get repair items on a needed basis.

You also haven't been playing for a long time either
