I'll be honest, I hate the Durability/Repair System

  @OP: Stop spending money if you're tired of spending money. Nobody's holding a gun to your head to do it, and thousands of players get by just fine without spending IRL money on repairs.

  Platinum hammers are cheaper as you have said.
  
  I mean really, what are the odds that you will burn through all of your durability before hammers are mass available again?

  This is why you only rock the crazy weapons when its necessary. You can get by with just average none enchanted upgraded weapons for most other things. If all you need is a 5k+ hit then why are you wasting the dura on your weapons that make you hit 4-8x that much.

  For puppet, my best jeweled bars are my "throwaway" weapon.
  For melee, my old r5 swords are my throwaway.
  For range, i'd say my banana bow, but that is super expensive to repair.
  Dowra's are my throwaway, while taunes are my main.
  Alchemy, well, my ego is my throwaway and main.
  Magic i just use my knuckles, same with fighter. Don't care about the dura on those.

  Suppose your right on that one.
  
  But the current repair system still blows.

  97% repair compared to 98% repair. That 1% actually does make a difference >.>

  I had/have 2 dual battle swords and an earthquake cylinder that i used for 5k levels. That's 50 or so weeks. That's an an absurd amount of Stones of Sliab Cuilin. They are still at good durability even though alchemy boy liked to knock off dura. for a cylinder i solely abused golem with, it is left at 7 max dura. Keep in mind, it was THE cylinder to end all cylinders, 7 dura's enough for 1-2 days of full on cuilin spam, and my battle swords remain at remarkable condition, used until they were outdated by puppets, meaning from G14 onwards, they went from whatever wine making dura ones were, to a respectable 6ish dura.
  
  I have never repair protected a single thing, nor will i ever. And everytime i see people burn through protects, i ask why. Buy a damn platinum hammer, it's cheaper. Especially if it's only 1m, that's what, 5-7k nx?
  
  
  
  Bar durability is burned more than you would think.

  
  
  Ehh, 95% of the time I'm the one using puppet for my MA party and after 10+ straight runs of MA the most durability I've lost is 4 off my bar.

  Most people don't spend 60m on item to sit on a shelf and have it collect dust. You make strong weapons so you can do harder content with ease, which you might as well do since you just made the damn weapon for it.

  Though honestly, Cylinders, Wands and Bows do have the crappiest dura:usage ratio in mabi though.

  This, I do love using my main cylinders, but too fucking paranoid to repair them.

  When you are soloing, it's different.
