Repair Bills are too Damn High!

Argusian

Please, for the love of the Three, reduce the repair bills. Shelling out 800+ gold on level 16 gear, granted at 0% durability, is steep. The items themselves only vendor for 20g each and it's cheaper to either buy a new set from the Guild AH, or craft a new set myself.

Repair bills for other MMOs, at MAX level, aren't that high.

With gold so difficult to come by low level, I find it painful to dump my quest earnings and my 1g/per kill on repairing gear that I'm going to level through anyways.

I'm not sure they've got some of the economics in the game right in general .. the way it is at the moment seems to only provide a perfect storm for gold selling.

I totally agree... i feel 1g per drop is so pathetic and then my repair bill after 30 minutes of game play without dying is like 295g for a lvl 14-16. I can't seem to get on top of things like buy bag space, bank space. All my money just goes toward repairs. I hardly call that fun at all. /sigh I really hope they do something about the outrageous prices of repairs, or make mobs drop more gold. 1g? Seriously is a joke.

It'll be rebalanced as time goes on, that's the obvious answer. I repair my gear each time I go to a vendor and it helps a lot.

Don't wait until it's broken to repair.

Repair bills get more balanced later on but while leveling 1-50 you are better off with just replacing your gear with whatever quest reward armor pieces you get.

Tbh i've never had any problems with this and way before VR on any of my chars i had more gold then i knew what to do with. At VR10 there is litterally nothing to spend gold on it just keeps piling up.

The repair bills with diminishing returns on loot are problematic. I know it was to stop bots, but regular players who chose to farm and grind as well are punished too.

Unfortunately it's out of wack in relation to levels. I think by level 25 or something it seemed reasonable. The bigger problem I have is with my medium armor character who is forced to repair or he risks over leveling by having to kill for medium armor materials.

There's already a thread up about this.

No. The other thread is about how fast gear decays. This one is about the cost of repairs. While related, they are not the same thing. Both are valid issues.

Costs are fine. You get more then enough money in this game. I have like 90k unspent without trading etc etc
If you also join a good trading guild and make a small effort you'll be millionaire in no time.

the balance has to be worked out and will be. But it's not a big issue since it doesn't interfere with your progression in the game.

Are the repair bills constant regardless of gear level?
