Enchantments
There are two types of enchantments for items: Vertical and horizontal.[3]
- Vertical enchantments are a power progression for a crafted item. More damage or mitigations, added effects or bonuses.[4] Vertical enchantments include risks.[3]
- There isn't RNG in crafting but there may be a small amount of RNG in enchanting.[5]
- Over-enchanting items comes with a potential risk that the item decays or is destroyed if a safety margin is exceeded. This system is subject to testing.[6][7][8]
- It's a progressive tier of risk. At lower levels you have opportunities to potentially lose out on the pluses instead of breaking the equipment. But when you reach a certain threshold, there is an opportunity to essentially destroy the equipment, where you get resources back. But that's a risk that the player takes.[6] – Steven Sharif
- Lower levels of over-enchanting carries the risk of losing bonuses on the item. Over-enchanting beyond a certain threshold carries the risk of destroying the item and gaining resources back.[6][7][8]
- There may be mechanisms for achieving safer over-enchantments, such as difficult to obtain enchantment scrolls, or very rare material acquisitions.[9][2][7]
- Personally, I am fine with RNG in enchantment, so long as there are special ways to mitigate the RNG with investment, to a degree. For example, difficult to obtain enchantment scrolls that insure enchantment efforts, and including a buffer of safe enchantment in earlier pluses.[9] – Steven Sharif
- Horizontal enchantments are more situational. This doesn't make the item more powerful, but instead more applicable to different situations, and less so to others.[3]
Enchanting
Enchanting is not an artisan profession in its own right. Escribas create scrolls that can be utilized by different professions to create enchantments relating to that profession.[1][10]
- Enchantment scrolls can be sold on the open market.[4][1][11]
- Enchanting does not increase an item's level requirement.[12]
- You don't really push a particular item's level requirement or the identity of that item. You can enhance it, you can add enchantments to it, but it's still the item it is.[12] – Steven Sharif
Enchantment appearance
Enchantments have visual effects associated with them, such as glows and colors on weapons.[13][14]
- Indicates threat to other players.[14]
- Gives recognition for difficult achievements.[14]
Gear enhancement
Las mejoras de equipo (piedras o runas de poder) se pueden aplicar a armas para añadir elementos o tipos de daño.[15][16]
- Las mejoras de equipo no aumentan el requisito de nivel del objeto .[12]
We are very likely going to have a rune system and then we'll have the ability to sort of enchant weapons outside of that too... That's not always going to be like a vertical progression... Some of it's going to be giving up something to get something else; so maybe I do less physical damage but more magical damage, that thing.[16] – Jeffrey Bard
- La progresión en varios sistemas Pvp desbloqueará piedras de mejora que otorgan al equipo beneficios temporales centrados en PvP (mediante un sistema de engarce).[17] El rendimito se mide en temporadas PvP de 6 meses.[18]
It's not as though you're going to necessarily acquire these once and then you're set for your PvP enchantments, but instead you'll have to continually perform month after month in order to keep having those slotted enchantments.[17] – Steven Sharif
