What I'd like to see introduced are Repair Kits. Each crafter could create a Repair Kit item for their particular craft. The Repair Kits would come in 1 of 5 grades, each grade corresponding to what grade of item it could repair. These Repair Kit items could then be traded or sold via retainers. They would also display the crafter's name on the item. The actual Repair Kits could be usable by ANY class to repair any gear that matches the grade quality.

What I feel this accomplishes is:
  • Keeps crafters involved and relevant to the repair system.
  • Allows players to obtain repairs in a far more convenient manner.
  • Promotes awareness of individual crafters by displaying their name. Perhaps I am more likely to seek out a specific crafter to produce an item or apply materia if I am constantly buying the Repair Kits he is selling.

It is NEVER fun to simply sit around town and wait for something, whether that be a group or to get gear repaired or anything else. I think something like this would have a positive effect for everyone.
This is the first time I've read a suggestion such as this for repairs, and I must say, kudos. I realllllllllllly like that idea! It keeps crafters involved, and no longer would I have to go stand around in town waiting for someone to repair. And I could take them to dungeon runs in case we wipe a lot and I need repairs! Seriously, I love that idea. =)
