'''Enchanting potions''' are used by [[wizard]]s in the [[enchant]]ing process. All enchanting projects require [[#Tempering Potions|tempering potions]], while items with certain properties will also require [[#Pre-tempering Potions|pre-tempering potions]].
'''Enchanting potions''' are used by [[wizard]]s in the [[enchant]]ing process. Enchanting projects no longer require [[#Tempering Potions|tempering potions]] or tempering times. In the current system, A wizard first pours an [[#Unlock Potions|unlock potion]] on the item to unlock it for enchant. Next, if the project is fusion, sanctified, or enhancive gear, it will also require glowing urven'eth potion before a cast can be successful. Items with some flares also have optional Ilvan'eth flare potions that can reduce the enchant difficulty for the item.

'''PRE-TEMPERING POTIONS ARE NOW CALLED POTIONS - TEMPERING ONLY APPLIED TO ENCHANTING, AND IS NO LONGER APPLICABLE WITH THE MOST RECENT ENCHANTING UPDATES'''
<section begin=intro />'''Pre-tempering potions''' are special potions that must be poured on [[enhancive]] (including socketed fusion), [[sanctified]], or elemental [[flare|flaring]] items to prepare them to take a standard temper potion. This preparation step is required for each step in an [[enchanting]] project, meaning a project for 0x to 1x would require a single dose, while a project for 4x to 5x would require five doses; one dose is required per step in each case. This pre-temper effect typically lasts five minutes, giving the enchanter ample time to pour the standard potion.

<section begin=intro />'''Pre-tempering potions''' are special potions for enchanting items with special properties. Urven'eth Potion '''MUST''' be poured on [[enhancive]] (including socketed fusion) or [[Holy armament]] gear before any enchant cast. A test cast will tell you there is a power that must be overcome before you can cast; if you get that message, you MUST use glowing urven'eth potion. The other type of pre-enchant potion is Ilvan'eth potion for elemental [[flare|flaring]] items. Ilvan'eth potions remove the -100 enchant penalty from a flaring item for one cast. For both types of potion, a bottle starts with 5 pours, and each pour works for one +1 cast. These potions will wear off after a short time, so they should only be poured immediately before the wizard casts.


Pre-temper potions are typically more difficult to apply than regular potions, reflecting the expected increase in difficulty when enchanting the types of gear that they allow to be tempered. The increased difficulty is a potion penalty of -200 to the standard pour activation formula.

Latest revision as of 19:56, 15 September 2023

Enchanting potions are used by wizards in the enchanting process. Enchanting projects no longer require tempering potions or tempering times. In the current system, A wizard first pours an unlock potion on the item to unlock it for enchant. Next, if the project is fusion, sanctified, or enhancive gear, it will also require glowing urven'eth potion before a cast can be successful. Items with some flares also have optional Ilvan'eth flare potions that can reduce the enchant difficulty for the item.

Formula

Enchant Potions no longer require a roll - you simply pour the item on the object and the potion will take effect.

Potion Order

When enchanting items with multiple special properties requiring multiple pre-temper potions, the potions must be applied in the following order:

  1. Ayan'eth Potion - Color depends on enchant - up to +35, 1 pour unlocks +5, after +35, 1 pour unlocks +1
  2. Urven'eth Potion (fusion/holy/enhancive) - 1 Pour IMMEDIATELY BEFORE each cast - wears off
  3. Ilven'eth Potion - Fiery, Icy, Cloudy, Earthy (flaring) - 1 Pour IMMEDIATELY BEFORE each cast - wears off


Tempering Potions

TEMPERING POTIONS ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED FOR ANY ENCHANTING PROJECTS! ENCHANTING PROJECTS NO LONGER REQUIRE TEMPERING TIMES!

To convert an existing bromin, aleteh, or grenshol potion, ASK the apprentice NPC in a Wizard Guild's enchanting chamber about EXCHANGE. The apprentice will convert a bromin potion into a copper ayan'eth potion, an aleteth potion into a silver ayan'eth potion, or a grenshol potion into a gold ayan'eth potion, all with the identical number of pours.

* Average time per pour. May vary depending upon number of current enchanting projects and skill of wizard.

† Base prices shown. Enchanting potions are generally sold in units of 4 doses, so the price per cycle is 1/4 of the price shown here. See Trading for more information on variations in price. Some enchant potions can also be produced via Alchemy.

Δ Mirtokh potion has a modifier that makes the enchant more difficult.

** These potions are not publicly available on a regular basis, and have been distributed only by special event merchants.

Higher level potions may always be used for lower level enchanting projects; however this is generally not cost effective, and is usually done only when the wizard has a stockpile of high level potions.

You pour your potion on the leather.
  1d100: 67 + Modifiers: 326 == 393

The faint glow fades from some black and tan full leather.
As the liquid coats the surface of the tan full leather, a misty aura fills the air surrounding it, dancing around your fingers as you gesture over it with a soft incantation spilling from your lips.  Small runic symbols flare to life at various points along the surface of the leather, their blurry edges wavering in response to the cadence of your voice and the liquid in these areas absorbing quickly beneath the surface.  When the last of the liquid has vanished, the symbols dissipate and the leather appears faded.  You scrutinize the tan full leather, notice nothing amiss, and conclude that the tempering seems to have been successful.  You estimate that the tan full leather should be ready to enchant in about 13 to 14 days.
Roundtime: 20 sec.
You have 3 doses left.

Pre-tempering Potions

PRE-TEMPERING POTIONS ARE NOW CALLED POTIONS - TEMPERING ONLY APPLIED TO ENCHANTING, AND IS NO LONGER APPLICABLE WITH THE MOST RECENT ENCHANTING UPDATES

Pre-tempering potions are special potions for enchanting items with special properties. Urven'eth Potion MUST be poured on enhancive (including socketed fusion) or Holy armament gear before any enchant cast. A test cast will tell you there is a power that must be overcome before you can cast; if you get that message, you MUST use glowing urven'eth potion. The other type of pre-enchant potion is Ilvan'eth potion for elemental flaring items. Ilvan'eth potions remove the -100 enchant penalty from a flaring item for one cast. For both types of potion, a bottle starts with 5 pours, and each pour works for one +1 cast. These potions will wear off after a short time, so they should only be poured immediately before the wizard casts.

Messaging

The messaging for a pre-temper potion follows a standard form, with each type of pre-temper having a different glow description:

Success: 

>pour my pot on my lea
You pour your potion on the leather.
As the liquid coats the surface of the tan full leather, you murmur a few words of power while gesturing over the leather.  The liquid quickly seeps into the tan full leather and leaves nothing behind but a faint glow.  You examine the leather closely and, though the faint glow appears to be fading rapidly, are satisfied that it is ready to take a standard tempering potion.
Roundtime: 20 sec.
You have 4 doses left.

Failure: 

You pour your potion on the chain.

The liquid absorbs into the green imflass chain too quickly as you fumble to begin your chant and gestures, and the chain is dry in a moment's notice leaving no noticable change.
Roundtime: 20 sec.
You have 3 doses left.

After 5 minutes the pre-temper effect will fade and must be re-poured. This messaging also takes a standard form with the same glow description as the pre-temper message:

Fade: 

The faint glow fades from the green imflass chain.
