Why is it called dark matter?

How do you actually use dark matter? Does it simply replace the old repair materials?

I do not craft, I do not repair! If you ever saw me on Cornelia you'd see I spend 50-100K a day on repairs...sad I know. You will need to wait till a crafter can come explain it.

Yeah all repair requirements on items were changed to dark matter, so it works the same as the repair materials used to before.

Also, higher ranked gear requires higher grades of dark matter - of which there are currently 5.

Awesome. Thanks! I leveled ARM to 26, but haven't touched it in a while. I remember it being extremely annoying to have to run to my retainer to get the correct repair mats (or keep them on me, which took up way too much space).

This is good to know for when I decide to go back to crafting.
