Hi everyone,

This game is fantastic, but there are things that seem really obscure that I wish I had a more solid answer.

I learned from a fantastic walkthrough from GameFAQs that you can get a potion from Caldor periodically or every time the game gives you experience for doing a quest; however, does anyone know how often one can use Crucibus to repair your items?

He just says the forge needs to recharge...

Thanks in advance!

Edit >>> I used the power of science and a stopwatch app and here is my report:

The anvil is recharged after 2m 30s per item (or close to it...)

Hurray!!

Indeed, it's just a timer. The forge gains a single "repair charge" after about 150 seconds and can store up to about 9 or 10 charges +1 max. +1 because when charges are full, the timer still reaches zero, but only gives you a charge once you use one so you go below max and instantly gives you an additional one.

The free potions from Alchemist are also on a timer. My guess would be about 300 seconds, although I didn't study that one closely.
