    Ability to Repair other players damaged or broken gear

    in 1.0 there was a feature that allowed players to repair other players gear in 2.0 and beyond it is sorely missed. in my free company i have quite a few members that refuse to level crafting due to the repetitive and boring nature of leveling 1 craft let alone 8. if we had the ability to learn how to repair other players gear. i believe this could help push players into crafting for economic reasons or even just to help friends and or fc/raid static members out we already have the ability to meld materia for other players why not take it one step further and allow us to repair other players gear?

    i hope that there may be others in the community that would also be interested in seeing this feature added.

    no more having to back out of dungeon because someone's gear broke. Being able to do it between pulls would be awesome.

    I'm not sure I follow your logic. If people won't even level crafting to repair their own gear, why would they do it to repair someone else's gear.

    I would like this to be a feature though, as a way for me as a crafter to make money. Allow the lazy players to click on me and have all the functionality of a repair npc, but the gil goes to me instead of an npc. If it works in dungeons too that would be great

    forgive me im not very good at explaining. the people i reffer to or atleast have talked to believe there is no money making in crafting unless you can HQ multi star recipes like the gear raiders use to penta meld for raids, thus they dont level it but if it could make them easy gil i believe they would you kinda worded my point better with you being paid for repairs instead of the npc. it would also be my hopes that the +100% would apply making another player repairing your gear more valuable than just paying the repair npc.

    I am a crafter myself and i would like this feature to be implemented. Just yesterday my stuff dropped to 0% mid-fight with a boss in Crystal Tower and i repaired it immediately (in a matter of seconds)
    Helping other players to repair they gear during dungeon runs would be nice. Maybe to set a default price for repair, like 500 Gil per item or something, because there will be a lot of "REPAIR MY GEARZ FOR FREE, PLZ!" people.

    That is exactly her point. If players would rather pay to have their gear repaired that should be perfectly fine, and it allows those who do like to craft to profit from their efforts.

    Since we pay for convenience, this would be a great feature. I'm just not sure how it would work. A player capable of repairing gear for others might get hit up every turn they make, so they might need an icon or something letting players know their services are available.

    I would be fine with it even without being paid for the service. I mean I wouldn't turn it down if they made it a mandatory fee but I would just like the option to offer it up cus I almost always carry around 2 stacks of grade 6 matter. More so when you get into a dungeon and have a vital member bail out cus they forgot to fix it or it just broke.

    Could we, then, maybe, possibly...do something about THAT instead? >_>

    Trying to "push" players into "content of repetitive and boring nature" for economic reasons seems, uhm...I don't know. How about just making the content fun and engaging instead? Maybe give the crafts some unique gameplay so that leveling more than one isn't so repetitive?

    Don't pay people to eat dung, use the dung to fertilize delicious crops people would pay for instead >_>

    This is also they individual opinion.
    For me and my best (IRL) friend - leveling crafting is one of the most funny things in FF XIV (with levequest and collectibles). Crafting here is not a boring stuff like in other MMO's. Especially when you get access to very powerful level 50&54 cross-class skills.
    Creating new diverse rotations, based on your stats and available cross-class skills is fun. My guess that many people is too lazy these days.
