Enchant Material Costs- ARCHIVED

From guild chat

general tip. War Mage wants Status Resist due to slow/ stun (low armor, high KPM abilities), & Initiative due to Surprised (ditto). Having said that, if you are all T14 gear & 10-20 T5 & T4 Magic gems with Runes, it is hard to go wrong with any enchants & a War Mage vs Mobs. enchants are mostly a) PvP (v1.6 or v1.7), b) Might Rating Increase, c) increased silver farming.

I keep getting rounding error. The best data I have so far seems to indicate +0.5% per rank per Currently Available enchantment.

Direct from Dave:

Each enchant level = .5% increase in might. There is no difference between enchants or slots. Having level 6 enchants on all 9 enchantable slots would give you a 27% might boost.

In game FORUM button is poor. It is a mobile version with no search and limited lists. Good for reading Post #1 of Sticky and that is it.

Tier 16 Armor & Rank 4+ Enchants

Due to Augment Gem providing diminishing returns (Note 1) and the cost of Transferring Enchants (Note 2), the most important things for my Shadow Walker are a) Tier 16 Most Used Weapon Type and Tier 16 Dagger, b) Tier 16 Armor to reduce Healing Potion Use, c) Tier 16 Amulet, d) Tier 16 Specialty Weapons, e) Tier 16 Ring of Poison.

24k Might, Shadow Walker BarbSpice will be purchasing in the following order:

Location- Enchant / Cost
Purchase from top to bottom

Weapon- Skill^ / 3,284 CHV (Axe 1.1s for Vile Realm Material Farming)
Dagger- None / 1,642 CHV
Boots- Power# / 1,314 CHV
Gauntlets- Skill^ / 1,314 CHV
Helm- Skill^ / 1,642 CHV
Leggings- Power# / 2,299 CHV
Chest Armor- Power# / 3,284 CHV
Amulet- Magic* / 2,299 CHV (of Poison for Onslaught/ PvP)
Cloak- Magic* / 1,971 CHV (of Poison for Onslaught/ PvP)
Weapon- Skill^ / 3,284 CHV(Sword 1.0s for Onslaught)
Ring- Magic* / 2,299 (of Poison for Onslaught/ PvP)

My Shadow Walker already has Tier 15 Trident 1.0s, Tier 15 Cloak of Poison, Tier 15 Cloak of Luck, and Tier 15 Ring of Luck.

MY PERSONAL OPINION

I consider Cloaks, Halos, Holiday Hats, Holiday Coats, etc. to be Jewelry/ Decorative for my Shadow Walker and Justicar. Even though they have Armor, it is Cloth, the weakest of the three Armors. Unlike TVal’s Bracer which is actually Cloth, Leather or Mail depending on your Class.

Note 1)
Before v2.0, My Shadow Walker character had Tier 15/ 14 Gear, Tier 5/ 4 Gems, and Tomes requiring 300+ HT per +8 Bonus

Note 2)
Rank 1- 3 Enchants are good for Tier 12/14 Gear (Incursion Portals Unlocked). Rank 3- 6 Enchants are good for Tier 14/16 Gear (Vile Realm Unlocked)
Transfer Cost is 29.41%- 26.50% of Enchant cost (250/ 850 to 25,000/ 94,350 Essence).
A Rank 3 Enchant adds +1.5% to Base Might, is 33% as effective as a Rank 9 Enchant, and costs 0.9% the Materials of a Rank 9 Enchant (850 Essence vs. 94,350).
A Rank 6 Enchant adds +3.0% to Base Might, is 66% as effective as a Rank 9 Enchant, and costs 9.9% the Materials of a Rank 9 Enchant (9350 Essence vs. 94,350).

My Shadow Walker character has Rank 4+ Enchants.
