Usage Active

Enchanting is a craft skill to infuse magical properties into arms and armor.

Usage

Harvesting elemental essence is accomplished by using this skill on an elemental vortex or the corpse of an elemental

  • Water Elemental (Water)
  • Fire Elemental (Fire)
  • Earth Elemental (Earth)
  • Air Elemental (Air)
  • Wisp (Light)
  • Dark Wisp (Dark)
  • Blood Elemental (Life)
  • Poison Elemental (Death)

Enchanting elemental essence is then used to add a magical trait to weapons, armor, or jewelry. Double click the Essence and target an object to enchant it. Objects must be made of an appropriate material; generally this means metal, though you may find special materials that can accept enchantment. Enchanting a piece of jewelry requires 7 essence, weapons 5, and Armor 3.

Crafting with the Bowcraft skill allows for the construction of Wands and Staves, but requires Enchantment skill to succeed.

Arcane Forge

Extraction of essence from an enchanted item can be achieved with an Arcane Forge. Doing so irrevocably destroys the item but there is a chance that some essence can be recovered.

Formula

Chance = Skill / [ (difficulty * ((100.0 - info.AttributeInfo.Attunement) / 100.0)) * Rank ^ 1.5 ]

Differences from Ultima Online

There are some parallels between Enchanting and the Imbuing skill added in the Stygian Abyss expansion.
