Enchanting Guide

Overview of Enchanting

Enchanting in Ashes of Creation is a system that allows players to enhance their gear, offering both vertical and horizontal progression.

Vertical Enchantments: Increase the power level of an item, such as boosting damage or defense stats. Most players will focus on enchanting weapons first to increase damage done as this helps a great deal while armor pieces are a secondary choice.

Horizontal Enchantments: Add situational or utility-based effects, like elemental resistances or PvP-specific bonuses.

Enchanting is done through scrolls which are the only ingredient needed for a piece of gear to improve. There is no profession skill that increases enchanting success rate, instead, enchanting remains closely tied to luck.
