Yes, Indentify is a real money saver, repair too, but mostly I make a character what used Indetify, but don't use Repair skill. If I found an equipment with +1 to Repair, that's great and then I use it

.
1 point in repair is for me enough. Alchemy I really love it to make my own potions!
There are so many nice skills

JR-Orion,
enjoy this game!! Success!
