Really a camp of legionnaires should really have a smith, it is ridicules that they do not.
...and I agree the Repair/durability issue is pretty bad right now, I hope it is going to gets lots of attention/balance in the near future.
Right now the repair skill is useless until you get it to Rank 3+. Even decent unenchanted weapons require a repair of 3 to attempt repair. At just Level 4 I have gear that requires a lvl 5 repair. What is the point of this? So far I've only been give 8 skill points (10 if I got 'All Skilled Up)' I can't even afford to have one skill at 5! A repair of one should be able to maintain non-broken equipment. Maybe a trade off is you lower max durability, or you use your tools faster until you hit the sweet spot for that item. Anyway a skill that is pretty much useless at level 1 is a broken skill.
Repair level required is based on the items current durability. If it wears beyond a certain point, it requires more points in Repair. Repairing at anything below rank 5 DOES lower Maximum durability, and people HATE it for that.
