Item Durability - Portable Repair Station?

[CriticalRPG]

So, I was thinking about adding a portable repair station in one of my projects. Upon use, this will trigger a common event that calls up the repair scene.

Considering how the repair scene takes gold, do you think it would be stupid if the portable repair station also took gold?

P.S. The repair station would be a crystal made by a fictional company called Pyrocorp. That's why it takes gold.

Design-wise, would it be an efficient way to have portable repairs? Yes. Logically, does it make sense? Unless you're repairing your equipment by melting the gold and using that to fill in holes, not really.

Would it be difficult to have a material system that repairs equipment with certain monster drops?

Think of it as a sophisticated form of vending machine.  Gold goes in, item for repair accepted, repaired item comes out.

Yes. That is what I'm going with.

When someone asks me "How does this work?" I'm going to tell them this.

For the portable station I would make it cost something rarer say like "diamonds" so that player have to limit the amount that they use the portable station. The repair shop should still cost gold that way people could still get their stuff repaired.

Sort of...

I'm using Selchar's Equipment Durability. I tried that idea, but I have no idea what to do. I have no programming experience whatsoever with Ruby.

Hmm... I like that idea. I'll see what I can do (if i even can do it, lulz)
