Request Repair

[Krotoan]

I did. Well, and also for glamours (which have since been made far easier to obtain *sigh*), but I mostly did it for repairs.



Those are literally two of the benefits you get from bothering to level your crafters, so no.

so you did level it exclusively for repairs, except for how you didn't?

if all crafters charged more for in dungeon repairs , or if repairing someone ELSES items only restored 70% (up to a max of 70% in total)instead of another 100% it would penalize NOT using them without penalizing the actual crafter.

I had initially started leveling them exclusively for repairs. Along the way I realized I could also manufacture my own prisms and other items too. But I originally intended to do it only for repairs and is still what I use it for most.

And Requested repairs being vastly inferior (either via cost or percent recovered) is something I can get behind. It'll work in a pinch, doesn't screw over crafters, and incentivizes players to better maintain their own equipment either by leveling their crafters or using the NPCs.

I never used carbonized matter to repair myself,to be honest.
3 - 4 years in this game,not even once.
Waste of spaces.

I mean, Carbonized Matter was for materia melding before Stormblood, then for vendor trashing at progressively lower amounts of gil ever since. It is Dark Matter that we repair with. And really, you only had to have one stack (of 99 or so) of the highest grade once your crafters were high enough (ten levels or less below the cap). Just restock the one stack once or twice a week, maybe, but it's not that much of a space waster to be perfectly honest.

There is absolutly no excuse, not a single one, for broken gear inside a duty.
Everywhere are menders, multiple in every of the big cities, the market places, aetheryte locations, settlements, beast tribe locations, housing districts, in the appartment building, nearly every house has one placed...
Or in more simple words every overworld map has at least one mender in an easyly reachable place and mostly next to the aetheryte.

And if you are a Builder of the Realm like me, you would have bought some Dark Material to repair your gear in one click before jumping into the instance.

This is only an option for chars with leveled crafters. The options you quoted are available for everyone.
