Repair costs are getting ridiculous

Costs of repairs inflated since vanilla nad it never stopped. I am literally paying thousands of gold for one night of raiding progress and that is on repairs alone. While I am alchemist and I can cook my own food so I can reduce the cost of raiding, there is nothing I can do about repairs. Those bills that cost about 200 gold for two-three wipes that is not ok.

The tone of my post was a bit naff.

Guilds should pay for repairs. You can sell BoE’s and carries if you desire. Also, just an emissary for gold should cover a decent amount of wipes.

Play a class that can vanish when everyone else is dead. That’s about the only way.

MY shadowmelt doesnt work msot of the time. As for rogues well, hard to use vanish to escape when its part of your dps rotation now. You will most likely have it on CD.

That’s a shame :frowning:

200g is 2-3 wipes so youre wiping 25-30 times a night?
as stated, most guilds help with repairs and also with pots/foods?

And you basicly earn thousands of gold just doing WQ’s and loot enemies. It’s a shame raiding and mythic+ are basicly pennyless thou.

Be realistic which guild have enought gold to support 20 people on mythic progression unless you plan to go in deep debt like method. Unless ofcourse the guild itself sell boosts, but who whould buy boosts from a guild which is still progressing… It’s a moment 22.

I know a fair few guilds that give 250g towards wipes per night food for each pull and flasks for the night .
People only have to fund rest of repairs and there runes/potions .
Even on plate wearer at 400 item lvl full read i just cant see it costing thousands sorry .

We used to have 1k a night for mythic raiders in my old guild. We funded it by selling the BoEs that dropped in raids.

What this usually means is the 5 most dedicated people in the guild are subsidising everyone else, none of whom realise what is going on because they think the guild just magically gets money.

On the other hand, it is more efficient for a guild to provide cauldrons and feasts vs having everyone bring their own consumables, but it is also important for everyone to be contributing to that fund, rather than dump it all on a few people. Because otherwise those people get peeved off and move on to a guild where everyone is chipping in.

Thats all sweet and all but guild repairs is not solution for ever increasing repair costs. Right now we reached repair costs that are almost doubled compared to those in legion and we are not even near the ilvl cap for BFA yet. And it will only increase further in next expansion.

This game is literally punishing players for doing core content.

My repair bill after raiding and M plus is fairly high but I can’t see them lowering it atm. It would be nice though.

Or hunter - Feign death is a godsend. It was even better when you could res a healer with Moths and ultimately get the whole party up again.

I don’t really raid but I always try to repair at guys I’m exalted with for the discount.

Haha first post you say “basically earn thousand of gold doing WQ”

Next post you say “be realistic”.

Nice one

Heh… While I was still raiding, I was looking for ways that when you wipe, you dont get repair bills.

Many bosses have a way to do that. Sometimes difficult, sometimes easy.

I think it should be higher if anything.

so gold value goes up.

The only issue with that are the damn expulsom which are still not tradable.

Agreed. Even better with engineering battle res =)
