My old repair materials are useless!!

[Zuellni]

Now that the old repair items seem useless, is there some place to trade them in for Dark Matter? Or are they all truly worthless now?

[slipmac]

What the Hell now i cant repair my own things?

npc wated 3k. what an outrage ... /Fume!!

i figured it was dark matter or the old way but not dark matter or no way.
loved everything about 1.18 sept this.

Do items like siltstone whetstone and chamois spetch truly serve no purpose now? I'm not sure what to do with them atm.

I don't mind the dark matter switch, it just seems like a lot of items ingame will have no purpose whatsoever. Are they going to put them in new recipes?

[Rowyne]

I'd like to know, as well. I have stacks of hempen and cotton fent that I'm not sure what to do with now.

[tymora]

A few like Buffalo Spetches have recipes that use them, but most are useless items now.
Don't quote me, but they might add recipes to synth Dark Matters with these next time.

*Well, we never would have guessed they would add Fish -> Shards when the game first came out either...

[Nharil]

Spetches and fents cost you pennies and take minutes at most to make an entire stack. This really isn't worth getting so worked up over.

It's not hard to see why people would get upset over the whole repair material deal, though. Everyone including myself had been carrying repair materials for gear before the patch hit and now all those materials are just crafting materials with no way quick way to turn them in for the new type of repair material. An NPC that would allow people for a week or two to trade in old repair materials for dark matter wouldn't have hurt anything in the long run.

Maybe not, but it takes the developers time to create a system that allows players to do something like that. I'd much rather them spend their precious time working on systems that improve the entire game rather than fixing a slight inconvenience for a small percentage of players

Making an NPC that does something like that doesn't take as long as you think.

Oh cool, you work in Crystal tools and understand how development and implementation of MMO features work then? Do share.
