Enchant (925)/Enchant Item (925) (old version)
| ||||||||||||||||
Enchanting allows the wizard to give an armor, weapon, shield, or the extremely rare DB (defensive bonus) items a permanent +5 bonus with each successful enchantment; as well as increased resistance to damage and destruction. The enchanting process can be very lengthy for the higher enchants.
Each enchantment requires tempering the item with a tempering potion and then a cast. But the number of temper/cast cycles varies based on the enchantment. For example, to enchant a 0x to 1x item requires 1 temper and 1 cast; 1x to 2x requires 2 tempers and two casts; 2x to 3x is 3 tempers and 3 casts, etc.
Currently there is a "soft cap" on enchanting that allows items only to be enchanted up to +35 (7x) without a special tempering potion. This means that any item above +30 (6x) will not take a temper from a mirtokh potion.
Tempering Potions
| Potion Name | Purpose | Base Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Rohnuru | temper anything < +6 | 3500 |
| Duqnuru | temper anything < +16 | 5500 |
| Dirtokh | temper anything < +26 | 10000 |
| Mirtokh | temper anything < +31 | 35000 |
| Sisfu | any project up to +25 | 17500 |
| Sarmoc | un-temper a project | 5000 |
