Anyone else with any enchanting insite for gs4?

[Stunseed]

You should be fine for 5x, from what I hear....Might wanna work on the Control and MIU for 6x a bit. And please, make sure you're totally unencumbered, I've blown myself up twice because people keep handing me 10k in silvers.

[Reyek]

Icemule had them as of 2 days ago. i bought a few last night too.

[Reyek]

Just for verification. Lores have nothing to do with enchanting that we know of right?

[Izalude]

As of this point, lores have nothing to do with enchanting.

Here's my wizard at level 44. I did some extensive testing in the GS4 test server, and found that with 40 ranks of wizard, 40 ranks in mana control, and 90 ranks of magic item use, I could do a 6x. I was also able to pull off a 7x with 90 ranks in MIU and 50 ranks of Wizard. Just make sure you're unencumbered. You should be able to do a 5x easily. I wouldn't mess with 6x+ until you've got some more MIU and Mana control.

[Reyek]

yea well my wizard is only 38 so i think he is on his way to do 6x no problem around 40/42

[Meos]

icemule still doesn't have a mana pool in the workshop though

[StrayRogue]

You tried to be able to get that 5x brig up to 6x yet Izalude?

[Reyek]

Anyone know how to get to the mana pool in landing? i cant seem to find it... of course i havent looked too hard..

[Askip]

<< the mana pool in landing? >>

Do you mean the wizard guild workshop? If so, it's south of the west gate, and you head east toward the Reach.

The guild is marked on Tsoran's map. To get from the path to the workshop it's: climb stair, go port, go door, go marb arch, go gran arch, e, go stair, go door.

[StrayRogue]

Theres a few natural pools as well, if I remember right. One past the mine road I believe.

[Askip]

If you want a place to Enchant, I've heard from more than one source that workshops (most of them, I would not count on the one in salamanders) still impart a bonus, even with the pools gone. The last time I checked, Sense showed no pool in the Landing guild workshop.

[Reyek]

Ok trying to enchant 2 items to 4x here and this happens then i cast 405 at both and it says its tempering again? how that happen?

You gesture at some black double leather.
You concentrate on casting your magicks at the leather. Faint sparkles surround and embed it, and try to bond with its structure. Something isn't quite right though, and the sparkles fade.
Roundtime: 60 sec.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

You gesture at some black double leather.
The patterns of essence about the leather indicate it is being enchanted and is one of your projects. You sense the leather has a weak enchantment. It is currently tempering and on the the final step of the enchanting process.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

Any insite?:?:

[Trinitis]

When an enchant fails, it has many options..It can strip enchantments, blow up the item, reset tempering times, etc etc..

[Reyek]

thats good at least i didnt die heh. but I dont think they were on final casts when i casted on them. weird. anyway thanks for the info.

[Stunseed]

Heh. Don't pick up a blackened item if it gets blown out of your hands. That is all.

Love you Jolena!

[Reyek]

been there done that. heh had to be uncursed over it.

[Stunseed]

Mine flared vaacum flares and removed my spine. Know how fun it is to die in the Wizard's Guild in Mule at 3:30 am? Yeah.

Love you Jolena!

[Reyek]

heh, im usually awake at that time not always in game at that time but i can get ya if you die. if you got my AIM feel free to send me a message when you drop and die. if not U2U me and i'll give ya.

[Stunseed]

It's either Voln-Fog or Wizard Gate out of there, which is why it's a huge pain in the ass.

Love you Jolena!

[Reyek]

yea i have a wizard and can gate so its no issue...

[Stunseed]

I'm young enough I dare not Gate yet, lest I blow myself up.

Love you Jolena!

So by extrapoling what you said
4X= 20/50/20
3x= 15/40/15
2X= 10/30/10
1X= 5/20/5
?
What about arcane symbol?

and the rate of sucess?

[Stunseed]

That's 100% chance of Enchanting said level?

Love you Jolena!

[Askip]

<< That's 100% chance of Enchanting said level? >>

Nothing about enchanting is 100%. I've died from a 1x cast, yet also completed several 7x.

Sometime I think you need to get a good D100 roll just to breath in the workshop. :D

:D

Anyone else confirm that?

[Reyek]

those wizard spell ranks are awfully low to do a 5x enchant....

[Stunseed]

5x has been proven at 30.

Love you Jolena!

[Askip]

<< I cast, it's successful. I 405 again, it says it's on the 2nd step. I re-pour and think, ok that's odd >>

I assume you did, but did you 405 after the next pour? The step does not change until the pour.

I have not poured or cast recently, so no help there. Perhaps you should Assist soon, at least get in line for a referral if the GH does not know.

You pour your potion on the crossbow.
1d100: 100 + Modifiers: 250 == 350

The liquid oozes over the surface of your light crossbow, creating a faint aura of steam. With a soft cloth, you work the liquid in well until you hear a faint crackling noise coming from it, and it appears faded. The tempering seems to have been successful. Your light crossbow should be ready to enchant in about 23 to 24 hours.
Roundtime: 60 sec.

You pour your potion on the yumi.
1d100: 30 + Modifiers: 235 == 265

The liquid oozes over the surface of your red-gold ruic yumi, creating a faint aura of steam. With a soft cloth, you work the liquid in well until you hear a faint crackling noise coming from it, and it appears faded. The tempering seems to have been successful. Your red-gold ruic yumi should be ready to enchant in 4 to 5 days.

Trying to do a 4x to 5x, how do I improve my how do i improve my modifier?

When pouring, is there any difference if I have 0 ranks in wizardspell? what determines your pouring modifier?

What determines your Enchanting? i got 45 ranks, is that enough to handle 5x or 6x? Is it possible to be 30 and do 6x with 45ranks in wizardspell?

How come I get 1-2days for 1x pouring? and is 4-5days normal for a 4x to 5x?

[Reyek]

your mod from what i can tell comes from your MIU, elemental lore, arcane symbols, harness power, and wizard ranks, with a bit of level base added in. i have only a few more ranks in these then you and my mod is almost 50 points higher. Also its encomberance dependant. try and enchant naked or as close to naked as possible. ...tempering times are enchant based, you should expect a 1x to take 1 day 2x to take 2 etc etc etc per pour....

Not yet. I won't get to that until mid next month. If it's a success, then I'm taking my Augmented breastplate and shields up to 6x.
