This is odd. I played for several hours today (a lot more than usual) and while I did repair my gear once, I didn't notice any sort of change. I guess I don't recall when I last repaired my gear, but there didn't seem to be the kind of change people are talking about. I did 4 boarskin maps, 12 alexandrite maps, an expert roulette (Stone Vigil HM), a trial roulette (Ramuh), ST, 3 S rank hunts, 5 A rank hunts, 12 Ixali quests, and 7 daily hunts (6 sets of normal mobs and 1 FATE boss), and perhaps a few more things I may have forgotten.
