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. For example: I'd like my sword to do force damage instead of holy damage because the monsters I tend to fight are incorporeal.[3]
Enchanting
Enchanting is not an artisan profession in its own right. Scribes 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
Melhoria de equipamentos (power stones/runas) podem ser aplicadas a armas para adicionar outros tipos de dano elemental ou de energia.[15][16]
É muito provável que tenhamos um sistema de runas e depois, teremos a capacidade de fazer encantamentos a armas fora disso também... Isso nem será sempre uma progressão vertical... Parte disso é desistir de algo para obter algo mais; por isso talvez eu dê menos danos físico, mas mais dano mágico, esse tipo de coisa.[16] – Jeffrey Bard
- A progressão em vários sistemas de Pvp irá desbloquear pedras de encantamento que concedem benefícios temporários focados no PvP para o equipamento (através de um sistema de encaixe) O desempenho é medido ao longo de temporadas de PvP de seis meses.[17]
Não é como se você fosse necessariamente adquirir essas melhorias uma vez e depois está pronto para o PvP no que diz respeito a seus encantamentos, mas em vez disso terá de participar continuamente mês após mês a fim de continuar a ter esses encantamentos encaixados nos seus slots.[18] – Steven Sharif
