MRPG Enchanting

Basic enchanting is a simple process of adding a magical enchantment to an item. Like runeing, this type of enchanting typically adds stat bonuses and other modifiers, though it can increase the base damage.

Basic enchanting is much simpler and will probably provide a good starting point for most players. Each recipe requires only 3 materials.

Enchanting Tools

Enchanting does not require any special tools, but the ingredients must be mixed in a vial which is either found or bought from a vendor. Once the enchantment is complete, it must be applied to the item by breaking the vial over it.

Enchanting Ingredients

Each recipe requires a number of each of the following:

• Powders
• Gemstones

• An Elixir(alchemical)

Unlike other crafting steps, enchanting ingredients have no "quality" associated with them, what you see is what you get. Enchanting uses a library of 5 different powders and eight different gemstones. All recipes draw from this list as well as the and Alchemy lists. Powders are measured in Motes.

Enchanting Ingredients

Enchanting Steps

The enchanter begins by gathering the ingredients, which will typically consist of a small heap of various powders and a handful of gemstones. More exotic recipes might call for some special items.

The first step is to create the Locus, this is done by combining dust(powders) with gemstones. A simple enchantment might call for a single Locus, more complex recipes may require several. Locuses will never appear as random loot.

Every enchantment also requires an Elixir, which is made with alchemy. These are all combined(dissolved) in a mystical vial to create the enchantment.

This finished vial can then be freely traded or sold. It must eventually be broken over the tiem in order to apply the appropriate enchantment. Finished vials can also drop as random loot.

Enchanting Recipes

Eventually these will be organized into a large table, but essentially, the recipe required a specific number of gemstones of a type determined by the enchantment and tier.

Powders

The formula is as follows:

Powder	Element	Mots/Tier I	Mots/Tier II	Mots/Tier III
Ivory	Earth	30	90	240
Fire Lotus Dust	Fire	20	70	100
Crystal	Air	10	30	70
Opal	Water	10	30	70

Dual-Type Enchantments

Creating a Dual-Type enchantment involves binding one type of dust to another. Diamond Dust is used as a binder, and must be added in equal amounts to the primary-type. Whichever element uses the larger number of Mots is the primary-type.

So, in order to make a Tier I Landslide enchantment(Earth/Water) you would need 30 mots of Ivory, 30 mots of Diamond Dust, and 10 mots of Opal.

Gemstones

Unlike powders, gems are not tied to a specific element. Rather, the number and type of stone required is determined by the number of mots the recipe calls for. More mots = more and better gemstones. The gems required are 1 gem for every 10 mots used.

So, a basic Tier 1 Earth enchantment using 30 mots would require 3 quartz crystals.

Gem	Motes	# Req
Quartz Crystal	10-100
Blood Ruby	110-250
Topaz	260-360
Emerald	370-500
Knight Sapphire	510-730
Flawless Diamond	740-880
Gemerald	890-999
Quantum Crystal	1000+

Imbued Gemstones

Gemstones can be -Imbued for use in crafting. Imbued gemstones have no effect on enchantments but are used in making MRPG Mage Robes, which is accomplished through tailoring.
