Enchantment Stones are special consumables used for enchanting an item. Whether the enchantment fails or succeeds, the stone is consumed upon the attempt.
Mechanics[]
General[]
There are two types of enchantment stones; PvE and PvP stones. They can only be used on their respective type of gear, boosting respective stats. There are three tiers of stones, varying in chances of successful enchanting and acquisition. It is possible to use different grades of stones on different grades of gear, affecting the chances accordingly.
- PvE Stones
- PvP Stones
Extraction[]
Extraction no longer rewards enchantment stones or anything related to it. Instead, it rewards <Manastone Fasteners>, required to unlock Manastone slots. Level 80 PvP equipment will also reward <Fighting Spirit Fragments> when extracted.
Discontinued Stones[]
This system has been drastically changed more than once to simplify it. While the core in it remains identical, the stones have been changed.
Level-based Stones[]
- Main article: Enchantment#Discontinued Systems
The original enchantment stones come in varying levels, from <L1 Enchantment Stones> to <L130 Enchantment Stones>. The higher their level, the the better the chance of successfully enchanting a piece.
This system was however simplified after 4.7, grouping the similar level stones together, creating the Letter-based system.
Letter-based Stones[]
Introduced in 4.7, this system would replace the level-based by taking them and grouping them within six groups, each group represented by a single enchant stone. The order and names would follow the Greek alphabet. from Alpha to Epsilon, followed by Omega. This system was later replaced by the one active throughout 5.0.
Stone | Suggested | Levels |
---|---|---|
<Alpha Enchantment Stone> | Level 20 Superior | L1-29 |
<Beta Enchantment Stone> | Level 40 Heroic | L30-59 |
<Gamma Enchantment Stone> | Level 55 Fabled | L60-84 |
<Delta Enchantment Stone> | Level 60 Eternal | L85-104 |
<Epsilon Enchantment Stone> | Level 65 Mythic | L105 |
<Omega Enchantment Stone>* | After Amplification | - |
*Still available afterwards, but was added along with this system.
General Stones[]
Extracting items would give <Enchantment Stone Dust>. By combining 1,000 units of this dust, players would receive an <Enchantment StoneEnchantment Stone (item)>, or a <Shining Enchantment Stone> with enough luck. The amount of dust is determined by the grade and rarity of the item. <Omega Enchantment Stones> would remain as the better stones to use to enchant however. They were restricted to instance drops and special events and sources.
Lower level gear would offer around 20-40 dust, and more than 100 in lucky cases. As the gear increases in level, the amount of dust is increased, sometimes reaching 2,000 pieces of dust. The amount was also slightly affected by the enchantment level of the item in question. Extracting Archdaeva Gear would reward the player with either File:Ancient Crafting Stone.gif Ancient Crafting Stones, File:Chronos Stone.gif Chronos Stones or File:Eternity Stone.gif Eternity Stones, materials required to craft most Archdaeva recipes.
This system was removed after 6.0. Old gear was made not possible to be extracted. Players in possession of <Omega Enchantment Stones> and <Irridescent Omega Enchantment Stones> were allowed to trade them in for <Legendary PvE Enchantment Stones> or <Legendary PvP Enchantment Stones>.
Trivia[]
- In order to extract gear, players would need to make use of <Extraction Tools>, bought from General Merchants. This was changed in 5.0, only requiring kinah.
- There are <Irridescent Omega Enchantment Stones>, only obtainable from special means, which work like <Omega Enchantment Stones>, but with an even higher critical success.
