Enchantement

Overview

Enchantments and Runestones are magic stones that can be placed in slots on equipment or companions and they grant additional stats and effects depending on the rank and type of stone. Enchanting an item is done with an Enchantment and enchanting a companion is done with a Runestone. Stones are obtained as loot, as rewards for zone events and purchased from Astral Diamond merchants or the Auction House.

All normal stones are ranked from 1 to 10 and all epic stones ranked as Shards, Lesser, Normal, Greater and Perfect.

Enchantments have a round shape and Runestones are hexagonal.

Enchanting

Enchant Item

To enchant an item it needs an enchantment slot. There are two ways of enchanting. Both starts with Right clicking the item, select Enchant Item... Then you can either drag and drop a stone from Inventory or click Slot button to select from a list. Then click Enchant. A dialog will warn you of the cost (in Astral Diamonds) that you will have to pay if you later decide to Unbind (Remove into your Inventory) the stone from the slot.

Note: You can drag and drop a new stone over an occupied slot, this destroys and replaces the original stone that is placed in a slot. This saves you a lot of AD spent on Unbinding.

Note: It should be mentioned that Enchantments stored in the bank can still be added to items, even though they are not in your inventory.

1. Click on the item button and select Enchant Item

2a. Click on slot button and select an enchantment or 2b. Drag an enchantment to the slot

3. Click on the Enchant button

4. Click on the Ok button

Enchant Companion

Each Companion has three Runestone slots which unlock at Lvl 1, Lvl 5 and Lvl 15. To enchant a companion open the companion window (=) and drop a Runestone into one of its slots.

Unbinding

Unbinding a stone from a slot returns the stone to your inventory. Bring up the Item Menu on item with stone and select Enchant Item... . Left-click a stone in a slot to bring up Unbind button. Press Unbind button to bring up confirmation dialog. Press Remove to pay the AD cost and unbind stone.

Press Remove to pay the AD price and Unbind stone

Unbinding costs Astral Diamonds, and the cost varies depending on the rank of the stone and value/level of the item.

Fusion

You can create a higher rank stone if you have four stones of the same rank and type. You right click on the stone stack in your Inventory and left click "Fuse into greater...".

Item Menu RMB click the stack of stones, then LMB "Fuse into greater..." or Double Click

Fusion dialog window In the Fusion Dialog you then click Fuse.

There is a chance of failure when fusing depending on the rank of the stone that will be created. If a fusion fails one stone is destroyed.

Note: See Wards for protection of stones.

Wards

Wards are used to guarantee fusion success, or to keep you from losing a stone if you fail the fusion process. They are found in Resource Chests and purchased in the Zen Market or with AD in the Auction House.

Preservation Ward protect the stones from fusion failure and are only consumed if the fusion fails. They cost 100 Zen for 10 and can be bought without visiting Zen market within the Fusion dialog or with AD in the Auction House.

Coalescent Ward 100% guarantees the success of the fusion . You can buy them with Zen or with AD in the Auction House or use Invocation for 7 days then turn those Celestial coins in for a chest which has a small chance to give you the ward.

Epic Enchantments

Epic stones are ranked Lesser, "Normal", Greater and Perfect.

Shards are fragments of Epic stones that can be fused into Lesser stones when you have four of them.

Shards drop from the Epic dungeons. They drop as a Rare (Blue) Shard of _____. It takes four Shards of the same type to fuse into a Lesser ____ Enchantment. You can then fuse four of the "Lesser's" into a "Normal", then four "Normal's" into a "Greater" and finally four "Greater's" into a "Perfect". Each of these fusions has a very low chance of success.

Both Weapon and Armor enchantments have a specific symbol that is shared with the shards. All Armor Enhancement have a square outer border while all Weapon Enhancements have a diamond border.

Note: Save AD/ Zen for the [Coalescent Ward], this ward guarantees a 100% successful fusion.

Strategy/Notes

Up to lvl 35 you will only find lots rank 1,2 and a few 3 Runestones. If you collect all Skill nodes you find you will be able to fuse to a handful of rank 4 now. The stones take a lot of space in bags so just sell of all 1 and don't feel guilty about it if you need the space. You can generally find enough rank 2/3 to continuously slot your randomly found equipment while still building up a supply to save. You will upgrade equip regularly so just Enchant whatever you have at the moment with free slots and sell it 5-10 lvls later without unbinding. Remember that you also can buy good high rank runestones at Auction House quite cheap if you don't want to drag around stones waiting to fuse them.

Up to lvl 45 you still only find lvl 2 and 3 mostly and occasionally some rare 4.

At level 60 in epic dungeons you'll find a fairly even mix of rank 3s and 4s. Rank 5 never drop anywhere in the game except from non-repeatable quests rewards and lock boxes which require zen to open. Thus 99% of what makes up rank 5 and higher are fusion of rank 4s. Due to this:

Due to this it's generally wise to slot your first set of decent gear with only rank 4/5s, while saving up to eventually slot 7-9s depending on your patience. (PVP gear is generally the easiest and best to get first - even if you don't pvp - cheap via the auction house, so slotting it only to eventually sell it isn't too bad.)
