Enchantments Rework
The Enchantments system is being reworked based on feedback and data from the initial launch of the system. A lot of things have changed, but the core concept remains roughly the same. Enchantments will still apply a bonus to items that have Enchantment slots. But, the biggest changes are as follows:
- ALL tiered gear now has a chance to have an Enchantment slot.
- The Enchantments added to tiered items will be RANDOM.
This means you will no longer be able to pick the exact bonus that will appear on your items, but a good portion of items will drop with an Enchantment attached.
Enchantment Distribution
The distribution of Enchantments is similar to the previous iteration. Please see the following tables to explain what items can have which effects.
Stat Bonuses (Flat and Relative)
Activations
- IE – on hit activations
Utilities
Some enchantments have also been dropped for now, as they would be too costly to recreate across a larger scale. Ability replication, for instance, was done on an item-by-item basis, and would therefore need a new effect to be created for each individual ability. The overall effect of an on-hit Ability trigger will be looked into and added in future updates. The same goes for narrow cones, which were created using individual subattack replacements. These will come back when we have the ability to apply the effect more directly.
Items can have Enchantments with a maximum level based on the tier of the item in question:
| Segment | Grade | Max Level |
| Newbie | D and below | 1 |
| Rookie | C | 2 |
| Adept | B | 2 |
| Veteran | A | 3 |
| Expert | S | 4 |
For reference, here are the grades used for tiered items:
Dust Distribution
In brief, Green dust appears at the beginning of the game and is dropped at increasing rates until difficulty 6 dungeons. At that point Red dust also appears, with Purple following in Exaltation dungeons and the Wine Cellar. The time and effort needed to complete each dungeon is taken into account with the dust drop rates, which are still boosted by 15% when playing a Seasonal character.
Rerolling
But what if you get an item with an ability you don’t want?
Dust has been split into three groups – Green, Red and Purple. Green dust can be used to reroll all of the Enchantments on an item. As this is currently going to be capped at 1 to allow us to make this change without rebalancing the whole realm, that will essentially work by allowing you to reroll the one random Enchantment. This will be done on a purely random basis, so you could end up with something worse, or even just the same ability again!.
Red dust can be used to upgrade your Enchantments, if they are not already at the maximum the item allows. IE – if you have a Dexterity bonus of +4, you can use Red dust to reach +6, assuming this is a viable option for the item. If +4 is the cap for that object, then that is as high as it will go.
Purple Dust will fulfill most of the roles which Green dust does at the moment. It can be used to unlock the slots on UT’s (described below).
The more you reroll the Enchantments on an item, the more each subsequent roll will cost. The current cap for this cost is after 5 rolls, which is when the cost will remain fixed at a higher price permanently. Thankfully all dust still has a high cap on collection, and you can now boost this using Dust Cap Extenders, which add 200 to the cap of the specific dust type it is associated with.
UT’s and Engravings
UT’s and the Engraving system remain relatively unchanged. While UT’s will gain random enchantments in the second slot onwards with later updates, they currently retain the same core mechanics right now: you pay Purple dust to unlock a slot, and consume and Engraving to apply it to that item permanently.
The Enchanter
Not all dust operations are available immediately. The Enchanter will now use Green dust for free, but needs to be paid in dust to unlock the other types. This can be done in any order, so if you just want to use UT’s you can pay them in Purple dust to unlock this ability without paying Red to upgrade tiered items.
Changes and Fixes
- Removed some unused Assets from Dungeons
- Fixed an issue with Vaults on certain accounts
- Event Calendar now displays the Month and Year
- Fixed several scaling issues with Arcane Styles on bigger skins
- Fixed an issue where in certain cases Arcane Style effects would carry over to Decoy Effects it shouldn’t affect.
- Fixed an issue with scrolling in the Event Calendar
- Fixed an issue where the Crystal of Fortune is not added to Gift Chest if Skin is dismantled in Nexus
Known Issues
- Oryxmas Encounters are still using their original chatlines. This will be fixed next week.
- Ocean Trench and Ice Tomb drop fixed amounts of Dust. This will be changed with the next release.
