Most weapons and armor in Diablo III will need repairs, after the hard use they're put to slaughtering the demonic hordes. Repairs can be done with most NPC merchants, making them easily-accessible all throughout the towns.
Prior to [[Beta Patch 10]], only Haedrig Eamon Repairing gear is a significant gold sink especially in higher difficulties. Since release the repair costs were raised for item levels between 53 and 63. If you sell an damaged item on the NPC [[blacksmithAuction House]] could it will automatically repair itemswhen the purchaser moves it to their stash. This ability was taken from him and distributed widely If the item does not sell it'll be returned to make it more convenient for playersyou unrepaired.
The developers have promised that repairs will be a major expense and a viable [[gold sink]] in the late game. Players can only take their word for this, as repair needs and costs are quite minimal in the early levels available in the [[beta]].
