Highly recommend changing Repair to Maintain, similar to FFXIV version of Repair.
Instead of simply repairing gear, they add an amount of durability and this result in the item being over 100% durability, which in turn means it takes longer before you need to repair.
This removes any inefficiency in Repair due to rounding
This makes Repair less frequent and lets the player focus more on adventuring
This allows Repair to be completely separated from Essence if necessary, and instead we can spend miscellaneous materials to craft Repair Kits that add a certain amount of Durability per kit. This could be a way to use up miscellaneous items. For example, any 3 T1 items can be recycled into a T1 Repair Kit that adds 30 Durability to any item that needs repair, even taking it over 100% durability.
