Equipment Repairs universal tool.

[darios]

Good day everyone I’m trying to get information about how SE is going to allows us to fix our gear.
On FFXIV was pretty much a pain in the butt in my opinion as you had to take the gear of you change to the job that allows you to repair the gear over and over and over. My LS used to go CC AV Garuda and Iffrit on crack all night. For those that remember those fun moments I’m sure you also remember the damage your gear and sometimes your pocket was taking during those events. I’m hoping SE decided to give a repair skill or one universal tool that allows doing all the repairs we can base on our skill level.
I have all my craft at 50 I should just equip my repair tool and fix all the items that need repair. Pretty much like the NPC. Come on SE WHY YOU DON’T MAKE ME HAPPY /TEAR lol. What you guys think about it? As always if there is post with this info please let me know.

I am really against 1 class being able to repair everything, but it would be great if you could repair without changing jobs for every piece.

So you have to have the required skill and levels to repair but you can click a button on any class/job and repair everything in 1 go. No more changing to 4 different things and wasting time and cooldowns.

NDA. cant give info
I think switching to armorer to fix your plate set is fine; as long we can repair all of it in 1 click.
Simplicity is fine, but it would be crappy if you could instant fix all your gear with 1 click. Would ruin immersion as people like to say here.

you're kinda contradicting yourself. having 1 class repair all vs not having to switch class to repair, is pretty much the same thing. And OP wasn't suggesting 1 class to repair all, but rather just a tool to repair all; but you still need appropriate lv in DoH classes to fix multiple item types.

Quick question, How is having one class to repair everything any different than how it's setup now? Where you have 1 class that crafts everything goldsmith, one class that gathers all Bontany?

An Repair class would just need a repair tool to change class. That same class would still be available to everyone!
It's really no different than changing the way it's done.

The ONLY difference would be you wouldn't have to rank up different classes to repair a particular item.

I agree. One craft or tool to repair all gear would be too dumbed down.

But...

For repairing your own gear, as long as the player has spent the time to rank up the appropriate craft, has the appropriate tool and repair material in their inventory, it would be nice if we could quickly repair items without changing out of our battle gear first. It's just a pain to un-equip the gear, switch to the crafting job, repair, then put it all back on.

For repairing other people's gear, it would be nice if switching to crafting jobs didn't reset your cooldown timers if you go back to the same DoW/DoM class/job as before the repair. It's pretty inconvenient to have the long cooldown timers reset just to do a repair.

Dumbed down? If you want talk dumb: how about needing a weathered blacksmith hammer just to repair your regular blacksmith hammer just because blacksmith repairs blacksmith hammers

One universal repair tool, you say?

[AmandaHuggenkiss]

Personally, I am against anything more that is easy mode.
So.. if you can't be bothered to level a craft to repair your gear, then you have to pay someone else or a npc to do it.

Edit... reread OP

Unless the tool is Duck-tape I am strongly against.

[Pseudopsia]

I agree that when you have a required class that is able to repair it's a pain in the ass having to switch to that class to repair.

I don't like the idea of a universal tool. I would rather have it when you select to repair an item you automatically switch to that class after repair is done you automatically switch back.

Would love to see the ability to repair all gear (of the classes you have leveled) from out of that job class!
