Enchanting lets you customize equipment, but spending resources on a soon-to-be-replaced item can slow your progress. This guide separates features documented in patch notes from item-specific material costs and roll probabilities, which must be checked in the live Blacksmith or Enchanting interface.

How the enchantment process fits into a build

  1. Select a useful item for the class and stage you care about.
  2. Open the Enchanting interface and review the available options.
  3. Check the current material cost and exactly which properties may change.
  4. Make an enchantment or reroll only if the possible improvement justifies the resources.
  5. Compare the result with the item's previous role in your party.

The precise UI labels, probabilities and preservation rules must be read from your current version. We do not assign a percentage or list a universal pool that the developer has not published.

When should you wait?

Hold off on a costly reroll when you are still finding frequent upgrades, your character is about to change roles, or you do not understand which existing effect may be replaced. Review stats after major patches, especially the accessory boost and changes to Strength Potential and Intelligence in v1.0.8.

Before spending your materials

  • Identify the exact item, equipped character and desired effect.
  • Check whether the gear is locked against automated selling or dismantling.
  • Read the current material requirement and the current UI description of what happens to existing effects.
  • Record the outcome if you intend to compare builds later.
