Material Difficulty for Enchanting

[RSR]

Below is a list of materials for weapons, shields, armor, bows, and runestaves, and their relative difficulty. The smaller the number, the more difficult it is to enchant. While some materials exist in many categories, their difficulty may be different (e.g. it's pretty difficult to enchant a wooden sword vs. a wooden runestaff).

So it looks like ive been smart making my perfects mithril :)

[kutter]

That is interesting, curious where you able to get the numbers.

I think I read somewhere a while back, that mithril was the easiest of all magic metals to enchant but vultite is a bit lighter. I abandoned imflass for that stupid half-enchant thing, unless you can curse it on purpose, but that has only happened to me once. For a properly trained wizard, any common magic metals should not be an issue.

Oh, and witchwood is the DEVIL!

Estild apparently posted them.

[Androidpk]

Interesting that golvern is only -10.

[JackWhisper]

I wonder if there is any way in the game to get past the -999 negatives, with a maxed wizard and enhancives and a high roll and a workshop.

[TheBastardOfStark]

Ask tillmen to try it out in shattered. Isn't he a fully skilled wizard over there?

[Androidpk]

Nope.

Pretty sure people are having enough of a trouble with bone at the -250 bench mark.

[Androidpk]

Have they released numbers for forging difficulty? I wonder if they're relatively the same.

I wouldn't think so.
