Hi everyone. Just a thread out of curiosity.

Now that we've had Dark Matter for a little while, I've been wondering what average repair prices are like on your servers.

Rough observations from Saronia that I've seen:
(excluding the 1 gil repairs which are obviously for LS members)

Grade 1: 500 ~ 1000 gil
Grade 2: 500 ~ 1000 gil
Grade 3: 1000 ~ 2000 gil
Grade 4: 2000 ~ 4000 gil
Grade 5: 2000 ~ 5000 gil

There are also quite a few people who simply offer the same grade of Dark Matter in return.

It seems a bit strange to me that the reward:cost ratio gets much worse as the Dark Matter grade goes up -- despite the fact that the person who can perform the repair has spent much more time ranking up their craft.

※ I really wonder if the people who offer less than the price of the Dark Matter itself are simply unaware of the cost?

※ Quite rare, but there are people who offer more generous rewards. The highest I've seen for a G5 repair was 10,000 gil.

Related questions:

1. Would you repair a stranger's gear if they offered less than the price of the Dark Matter?

2. What about a stranger who offers Dark Matter or nearly the same value of the Dark Matter as gil in return?

3. Does it make a difference if they are actually present and asking for repairs, versus someone who is probably AFK?
