Repairing Gear?

Anyone figure out how to repair gear? I need to get my equipment repaired and no one seems to know how, or they just don't want to tell me.

moronic me, didn't realize it was 14 ._.; I have been gone for awhile.

There's an NPC in each city who will repair your gear or if you have the mats needed you can repair them yourself. Equip the DoH that is needed to carry out the repair and select the equipment from your inventory list and click repair :)

You should have learned this from XI ;D


This repair thing is going to get interesting at higher levels. The NPC says his repairs don't come cheap. I noticed SE included a lot of ways for other people to repair your gear too.

Is there really a point to repairing it at all? It's troublesome as is trying to buy/craft/trade an item you need to equip. Once you get an item (non-untradable/sellable) it becomes incredibly expensive to repair armor to npc in home nation.

On the other hand, it's safe to say it's easy based on repairing it yourself but getting the repair item may be much harder depending on the ingredient.

A few questions though:

1) What negative effects does the items suffer if not repaired?
2) Does it break?
3) Do you receive/give less defense on gear or attack less on weapons if the item is not repaired?

Answers are greatly appreciated.

Good questions. IMO the whole repair system is farked, or at least was in whichever alpha/beta version I played with it. You basically just synth the item with the repair item, it's pretty simple, however, it doesn't (didn't) repair it to 100%, so multiple synths could be required. I'm not sure if there's a way of repairing something without having it in your possession first (as SE hinted there would be at one point) which would make repairing r/e gear a pain in the *** as Fouludragon mentioned.

The main thing that gave me the shits with it, was that it wouldn't let me bazaar some items that weren't at 100% durability. In fact, not having an AH and relying on a laggy as hell bazaar mart is pure fail anyway.

I have no issue with gear needing to be repaired, I have issues with the process though (although I'm not sure if it's still the same).
