Let us FIX gear to over 100%!

[Renshi]

Oh! Sorry if I couldn't translate that Over there =)

Then if that's the case, you might offer 10 for 100% repair, or 20 for 200% repair. Thing is that it would be the same, only a time factor would change and at the end having two weapons would be the same thing.

We don't need this anyway, so it's a choice from the Dev team to take this into consideration or not, since solving the repair problem is like solving the car fuel problem.

I spend alot of time repairing gear. My blacksmith and leatherer are pretty low, but my armorer is rank 30 and can repair quite a bit. I would love to see an exp boost, but i dont think it's really a necessity. And people who are too cheap to ask for repair for more than 10 gil dont deserve to have their crap repaired.
At the very least, cover the price of the repair mat.

The one thing I hate more than this are repair requests for a full inventory. Complete waste of my time and mat.

I just don't like how quickly armor gets damaged.. after an hour of play i'm down to 20%

I never found out why people have so many problems with gear. On selbina I just stand by repair npc and usually get repaired within 5 mins. Don't want to wait? Level your crafts up. If you have to repair your gear more then 1 time a day you need to find out what your doing wrong and stop dieing so much. I like the system simple because it adds more realism to it. if you are constantly getting hit your stuff should get broken. it always give crafters a use. Gil is so easy to make stop being so cheap and you will get things repaired faster.

There are events like Darkhold where the designers expect you to die over and over again until you figure out the fight and finally triumph over it. You can't even put an entire set of gear up for repair in your bazaar, which you will need to do after a bad night in the dungeon. The last time I had to do this it took 7+ hours to finally get everything fixed. I'd rather just take an SP loss hit so I didn't have to waste an entire day not being able to play.

My other options are: Pay 5-6 times the cost of the dark matter to the repair NPC for only 75% repair or, level up all of the crafts to 40 so I can repair my rank 50 gear. I find crafting so dull that I would rather quit the game than be forced to level even one of them up that high, let alone enough classes to repair an entire set of gear.

Keeps people from throwing bodies at a problem, and provides an ongoing source of demand for the crafters.

I honestly would like to know what you think would be enough to have the repair shouts work? Like I said earlier I was even shouting for 20 000 gil repairs which should cover the cost shouldn't it?

I think the SP the crafters aren't making for repairing gear of others is a bigger issue than the money they want to be paid for it since gil is pretty worthless in this game. I've bought several new armor pieces (100%) multiple times because their price was lower than the repair cost (to 70%). Something about the balance of these things is not working on a low-pop server.

No it doesn't... Crafters have plenty of other things to do...like ya know...crafting the majority of the items in the game.

You shouldn't ever have to pay that much for the repair of a single item. In that case, your problem is the lack of crafters paying attention, and not the amount offered. Here are the NPC costs for Dark Matter, which should give you an idea of how much to offer:

Grade 1: 100 gil
Grade 2: 600 gil
Grade 3: 1500 gil
Grade 4: 2800 gil
Grade 5: 4500 gil

No it doesn't... Crafters have plenty of other things to do...like ya know...crafting the majority of the items in the game.

Yeah, I mean, it's great that crafters have such diversity, but there's still plenty for them to do. There is definitely far more for crafters to do in this game than other MMOs, if nothing else. That said, as I posted earlier (top of page 3), I wouldn't mind keeping crafter repairs around, so long as it maybe offers a sort of bonus to encourage crafting repairs, and gear can be repaired to 100% through other means.

This is kind of a minor issue in the grand scheme of things, but still something I'd like to see improved eventually.
