allow to have both repair system!!!

[Rentahamster]

Adding options is always good.

In most cases yes, but this would add unnecessary redundancy into the repair process and needlessly overburden item databases all over again.

Both are extremely a bad idea... removes this new Gil Sink (for most items). As much as I hate the new costs for these Dark Matters, I think its a good idea in the game right now. This is helping remove gil from the game.

As someone above posted about fent vs matter.. people would end up using only Fent basically nullifying this new Dark Matter except for expensive/rare repair materials. Just face it, until there are other gil sinks in the game, this system has to stay in place. And maybe after they have other gil sinks, then this may become an option.

You didnt but other DID have inventory problem.
And you can prepare to cry for more because they will simplify recipes in 1.19
And you might see some unreasonable mat to make stuff

Get over it dude!

Here we go again!

i don't have space problems, and I repeat, if both systems are implemented, you chose of use it both or not, if u dont have space, DON'T USE IT, but allow the people that have space use it

[Picoman]

I think i am right in saying that these items have not been removed from the game so where is the harm.

If you have an Oak Branch, use the branch.

That is something I haven't considered. Since the introduction of dark matter, I'm actually paying less for repairs, because I know exactly how much the materials cost.

Before, I'd put my weapon up for 10k, because finding a high level goldsmith willing to sacrifice a jade to repair my knuckles was near impossible. Now I put it up for 6k, because I know grade 5 dark matter only costs 4800, and it gets repaired within minutes!

With respect, I have unliked the OP. Apologies.

Agreed.

Additionally, the current system pushes players to respect the time/gil required to achieve a high level craft. Before, an iron square was used to repair items ranging from r20 to r50. Because the material itself was low level and relatively cheap, the amount of gil players offered to crafters to repair their gear was quite small. Despite the fact that getting a crafter high enough to repair their iron cuirass (or whatever) was no trivial task - that time was not rewarded because the associated repair material was cheap.

and how's that any different than the same people running around right now offering 1,200 for a grade 5 matter repair?

people are still expecting crafters to keep doing the repairs for those items for the same amount that they did before. there's been a few people that sat there for days in spots because people refuse to repair their gear due to they refuse to pay the material cost. this system may be ok for some items, but it's not for others and the overall cost has went up on all besides a select few items. i'm one that will walk by, look at the offer, and walk away. if it costs me almost 5k each i'm not doing it for less.

Wow, then they are idiots for not thinking it through, 5k for grade 5 is the most minimum one should offer for repair, if they can't afford it because they are low level, and they wearing such high lvl gear they are idiots.

[Xquiel]

with both systems you can perfectly pay the same 4,8K of Gil, so there is no problem with that
