Improve tool repair mechanics
It's rather troublesome to have to look up for online blacksmith if you want your expensive tool properly repaired and UI is rather unclear as well, looks like most people are simply unaware grindstone does a better job than a tool bench. A mechanics of having to sell worn down tool for repairs also leaves a lot to be desired. Improvements are needed all around.
Suggestions:
1. Please allow inserting intact tools into grindstone/too bench for the sake of showing applicable repair materials
2. A checkbox for integrity based dynamic pricing in store. Ex: User sets the checkbox, sets a minimum and maximum price, store calculates price to pay for the used tool.
3. UI needs to be far more clear about there being a better method of doing things, like a blacksmith or a grindstone.
4. Ideally UI should be clear about how much durability is going to be restored and how much integrity is going to be lost. Instead of forcing player to wonder 'wetstone does -4%, is that -4% per operation or per stone used? Does Self improvement sum up with blacksmith or do they somehow multiply?'
5. Consider a way to handle repairs like it's done with other tasks - you put in calories, repairs are done instantly once someone puts the tool into the service. It needs to be automatable.
