Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General Getting Items Repaired.

Okay the only NPC I have found in this game in the area where I am is Otho but now that he's gone I can't find a single NPC that can repair my items and they are all about to break. Where the heck can I find an NPC that can repair my stuff arund the stormfist castle area?

Geoff at Ars Magicana can repair your stuff.
And you can find Otho at the blue boar inn near the poor village.

Ars Magicana is north east of Stormfist castle (just follow the path along the eastern side of the castle).

You can also learn the Repair skill yourself. Even just the first level (repair up to 60%) will mean you will not have to interrupt what you are doing to visit an NPC who can repair equipment. Repaired items also sell for more gold, though that doesn't make much of a difference, except near the start of the game, since gold is relatively easy to come by.
