Enchantsmith

What are you trying to change about your build?

Enchantment Books you find unlock abilities in your Enchantment Library. The Enchantsmith applies them to compatible gear and upgrades their tier. This hub resolves unlock, books, compatibility, tiers and resources.

Start from your task

Your route

Add an Enchantment

Verify the book is collected and the gear slot is compatible, then apply the enchantment at the Enchantsmith. Start in the workbench below.

Trying to replace an item's built-in Gear Effect?

The Enchantsmith adds and upgrades Enchantments you choose. The item's built-in Gear Effect is a different system, handled by the Blacksmith.

Enchantsmith quick answer

Enchantment Library
Books unlock enchantments you can apply
A collected book adds its enchantment to your library. Applying it to gear and upgrading it come next.
Enchantment tiers
Applied enchantments keep getting stronger
Each tier deepens the same effect. Upgrading spends Enchantment Points and Echo Shards, and the exact price is versioned.

How enchanting works

Enchanting at a glance

Enchantments are collected, not rolled: you find a book, unlock the enchantment in your library, then apply it to compatible gear and upgrade it.

  1. 1Find a book
  2. 2Library
  3. 3Choose gear
  4. 4Check compatibility
  5. 5Apply
  6. 6Upgrade tier
  7. 7Build synergy

A book unlocks, it is not the equip

Found books join your personal Enchantment Library. Unlike a random built-in enchantment on dropped gear, you decide what to apply.

Applying is not the last step

Once an enchantment is on an item you can keep upgrading its tier. Collecting, applying and upgrading are three separate steps.

Progression

Have you unlocked the Enchantsmith?

Enchanting is locked behind a main-story quest. This section shows only the requirement and the reward; the full walkthrough lives on the quest page.

What unlocks

The Enchantsmith starts offering enchanting, and the three quest books seed your library.

Mark the books you have already collected. The library is your personal state; the full enchantment database stays on the Enchantments page.

This state only tracks what you own. It never changes the enchantment data itself.

Enchant my item

Choose an enchantment for your gear

Pick the gear slot and what you want it to do. The hub shortlists enchantments and marks which are ready, missing a book, or not usable on that slot.

What the status means

  • ReadySlot compatible and the book is marked collected.
  • Missing bookSlot compatible, but you have not marked its book yet.
  • Not compatibleThis enchantment cannot go on the selected gear slot.
  • Check rulesNo book or unclosed rule: verify before committing.

This is a role-based shortlist, not a tier list. Confirm the exact item before spending resources.

Gateway

Can this enchantment go on this gear?

Slot rules are verified here. Per-item rules are only partly closed, so anything unverified is stated as unverified instead of guessed.

"Works on any gear slot" is not the same as "every enchantment works on every item". The checker owns the exact answer.

Application

Apply an enchantment

Applying runs through four gates. If one fails, the hub tells you which one instead of a generic error.

  1. 1Ready

    Book collected

    The enchantment exists in your library.

  2. 2Ready

    Gear compatible

    The enchantment is eligible for the item's slot.

  3. 3Verify

    Resources ready

    Enchantment Points and Echo Shards must cover the tier change.

  4. 4Blocked

    Apply

    Confirm the enchantment on the item at the Enchantsmith.

Example: Healing Smite

If it will not apply

  • Book missing

    The enchantment is not in your library yet, or you have not marked it. Track down the book first.

    Find the book

  • Wrong gear

    The enchantment is not eligible for that item slot. Try a different enchantment or a different piece of gear.

    Check compatibility

  • Not enough resources

    You need Enchantment Points for the tier and Echo Shards for the service. Check which one you are short on.

    See resources

Book persistence is not fully closed

Whether applying or removing spends the book, and what is refunded, is version-dependent. The hub does not promise a refund until production confirms it.

Tier progression

Upgrade enchantment tiers

Every enchantment keeps the same effect and strengthens it tier by tier. The tier text below is the game's own copy, not a re-worded summary.

What each tier changes

  • Tier I

    Wave deals 60% of weapon damage and zaps mobs for a short time, making them weaker but faster.

  • Tier II

    Wave deals 75% of weapon damage and zaps mobs for a short time, making them weaker but faster.

  • Tier III

    Wave deals 90% of weapon damage and zaps mobs for a short time, making them weaker but faster.

Full enchantment detailsOpen the tier list

Tier text is generated from game data. Compare tiers by their own wording, not by an assumed percentage.

Three separate steps

  1. 1. Collect the book
  2. 2. Apply the enchantment
  3. 3. Upgrade the tier

Upgrading deepens an enchantment already on your gear; it does not unlock a new one.

Resources

What enchanting costs

Enchanting uses a progression resource and an advanced currency. This hub states the rule; exact per-tier numbers are versioned.

  • Enchantment Points

    Resource

    Capacity: 99

    Enchantment Points are the Enchanting progression resource. They are spent when you upgrade an enchantment's tier.

  • Echo Shards

    Currency

    Echo Shards are an advanced currency shared with the Blacksmith. The Enchantsmith also spends them on its services.

    Echo Shard guide

Tier upgrade cost

Each tier upgrade spends Enchantment Points plus Echo Shards.

Exact per-tier values are versioned and not published on this page.

Only the first service upgrade is closed by production data. The hub does not assume later levels.

Build context

Which enchantment fits your build?

Pick your playstyle and the hub shows enchantment roles that support it. The best-enchantment ranking stays on the tier list.

Useful roles: Melee

Mechanical synergy

Enchantments that trigger on the same action can be tested together: one creates the opening, another cashes it in.

  • Trigger: Using an Artifact

  • Trigger: Using a Potion

    Ancient Alchemy · Barrier Brew · Bottomless Brew · Buddy Brew

  • Trigger: Rolling

Check against your item

Role matching is structural, not a judgment that one enchantment is the strongest.

Missing a book

Find an Enchantment Book

Search an enchantment to see where its book comes from and whether you have marked it collected. The enchantment page owns the full source detail.

Book acquisition stays on the enchantment entity; this hub only routes you there.

Service progression

Enchantsmith levels

The Enchantsmith is a service that can be upgraded. Only what production data closes is shown here.

    Base services available from the start.

  2. Level 2

Production coverage

Partial

One service upgrade row is verified in production. Later levels are not assumed from the Blacksmith's rules.

Why later levels are missing

Blacksmith and Enchantsmith service levels are separate systems. The hub waits for data instead of copying one from the other.

Where to find it

Enchantsmith locations

The Enchantsmith appears at several service points. They are all the same service, so exact spots belong to the map.

Service locations

5 location instances

  • Howling Woods
  • Howling Woods
  • Brave Haven
  • Frozen Highlands
  • Rainy Plains
Show Enchantsmiths on map

Several instances share one canonical Enchantsmith service: this hub does not create a page per location.

First met during

Howling Woods

You encounter the Enchantsmith while unlocking enchanting, then the service settles in Brave Haven.

Troubleshooting

Common Enchantsmith problems

Work top to bottom. A failure at any gate produces a different fix, so do not jump straight to resources.

  • Why can't I enchant at all?

    Enchanting opens after the main-story quest Training with the Enchantsmith. Until then the service is not available.

    See the unlock quest

  • Why is my enchantment not available?

    The enchantment is not in your library yet. Its book comes from a quest, an exploration pool or a unique item.

    Find the book

  • Why can't I put this on my item?

    The enchantment is not eligible for that gear slot. Slot eligibility is verified; item-level rules may still be open.

    Check compatibility

  • Why can't I upgrade the tier?

    Tier upgrades depend on service progression and resources. Check the current service level before blaming your points.

    See service levels

  • Why am I short on Enchantment Points?

    Enchantment Points are the progression resource spent per tier. They have a capacity cap and refill through play.

    See resources

  • Why am I short on Echo Shards?

    Echo Shards are shared with the Blacksmith, so rerolls and service upgrades compete for the same stock.

    Echo Shard sources

  • Can I remove an enchantment?

    Removal and refund behavior is not fully closed. The hub does not promise a free swap until production confirms it.

    Read the rule status

  • Why did the cost change?

    Tier and Echo Shard costs are balance values that get patched. Check the current version instead of an old guide.

    Track updates

Find what is blocking you

  1. 1Is the Enchantsmith unlocked?
  2. 2Is the book collected?
  3. 3Is the item compatible?
  4. 4Is that tier unlocked?
  5. 5Do you have Enchantment Points?
  6. 6Do you have Echo Shards?
  7. 7Any current version issue?

The first gate that fails is the real blocker.

Name the blocker

Say exactly what is missing (book, slot, points, Echo Shards or system unlock) instead of a generic "requirement not met".

Unknown is a valid answer

When a rule is not closed, the hub shows not yet verified rather than turning it into a zero or a no.

Blacksmith or Enchantsmith?

These two services look similar and are not. Pick what you actually want to change.

Gear Effects are built into an item. Enchantments are chosen from your library and applied by you.
