Overview

Enchantments and Runestones are magic stones that can be placed in slots on equipment or companions and they grant additional stats and effects depending on the rank and type of stone. Enchanting an item is done with an Enchantment and enchanting a companion is done with a Runestone. Stones are obtained as loot, as rewards for zone events and purchased from Astral Diamond merchants or the Auction House.

All normal stones are ranked from 1 to 10 and all epic stones ranked as Shards, Lesser, Normal, Greater and Perfect.

Enchantments have a round shape and Runestones are hexagonal.

Slots

The weapon and armor enhancement can only be slotted into either the weapon enhancement slot of weapon or the armor enhancement slot of a body armor. The weapon and armor enhancement slot is the pink colored slot. Weapon or armor enhancements will not fit into ordinary enchantment or runestone slots.

Overload enchantment can only be slotted in an overload slot on certain armors. The overload slot is the blue colored slot. Overload enchantment will not fit into ordinary enchantment slots, runestone slots, weapon enhancement slots or armor enhancement slots.

  • Defense Slots typically occur on Armor, Waist, Pants, Ring and Off-Hand (Shield Only) equipment.
  • Offense Slots typically occur on Shirt, Neck, Ring, Main Hand and Off Hand (Except Shield) equipment.
  • Utility Slots typically occur on Head, Arms and Feet equipment.

Enchanting

Enchant Item

To enchant an item it needs an enchantment slot. There are two ways of enchanting. Both starts with Right clicking the item, select Manage Item Enchantments... Then you can either drag and drop a stone from Inventory or click Slot button to select from a list. Then click Enchant. A dialog will warn you that you will have to pay an amount in gold if you later decide to Unbind (Remove into your Inventory) the stone from the slot.

Note: You can drag and drop a new stone over an occupied slot, this destroys and replaces the original stone that is placed in a slot. This would save the cost of gold spent on Unbinding.

Note: Enchantments stored in the bank can be added to items, even though they are not in your inventory.

Unbinding

Unbinding a stone from a slot returns the stone to your inventory. Bring up the Item Menu on item with stone and select Enchant Item... . Left-click a stone in a slot to bring up Unbind button. Press Unbind button to bring up confirmation dialog. Press Remove to pay the gold/silver/copper and unbind stone.

Press Remove to pay the gold/silver/copper price and Unbind stone

Unbinding costs gold/silver/copper, and the cost varies based on the Rank of the Enchant/Runestone and the Quality of the item. Costs range from ~60 copper up to 2.5 gold. Epic (purple) gear with any rank enchants have a capped cost of 2.5 gold. Level 60 Rares (blue) with rank 5 and above enchants have an unbinding cost of 1.5 gold. Costs are based on the level of the item that will have the enchantment removed from it.

Fusion (outdated)

You can create a higher rank stone if you have four stones of the same rank and type. You right click on the stone stack in your Inventory and left click "Fuse into greater...".

Note: As with enchanting the fusion list will include items in the Bank. Stacks in the Bank and inventory are treated separately (they can't be shared to reach 4 stones) and stones created are added to inventory, even if sourced from the Bank.

Item Menu
Fusion02

RMB click the stack of stones, then LMB "Fuse into greater..." or Double Click

Fusion dialog window
Fusion01

In the Fusion Dialog you then click Fuse.

There is a chance of failure when fusing depending on the rank of the stone that will be created. If a fusion fails one stone is destroyed.

Note: See Wards for protection of stones.

Here is a table that shows how many enchantments of a particular rank are needed to make an enchantment of another rank. For example, the table shows that a rank 10 enchantment requires 4 rank 9 enchantments or 262,144 rank 1 enchantments.

Type R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 R6 R7 R8 R9 R10
R1 1 4 16 64 256 1,024 4,096 16,384 65,536 262,144

The table above can be useful if you are using coalescent wards to guarantee fusion. The table below shows how many coalescent wards are needed to reach a particular rank enchantment.

Type R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 R6 R7 R8 R9 R10
R1 1 5 17 65 257 1,025 4,097 16,385 65,537

R6 1 5 17 65

Finally, here is a modified version of the fusion table, that estimates how many enchantments are needed, based on the fusion success percentage. (R3->R4 fusion chance updated but table numbers not updated)(Edit: Table numbers updated)

Type R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 R6 R7 R8 R9 R10
R1 1 4.1 16.7 69.6 325 1,786 11,311 79,178 633,425 8,234,533

CAUTION: the math formula in this table interates forward thourgh tiers skewing results, mathematically correct is to iterate backwards (for example you need avarage 162 of R4 to make one R7
correct formula:
y = ((1/chance of success)+3 ) * x
where X is number or needed enchantment of current teir and Y is number of needed enchants of previous tier. However, the value of each enchantment can be caluaclated by the value of the previous rank enchantment multiplied by the average number of those enchantments needed to obtain the result. So, for instance, a Rank 6 enchantment might be worth 5.5 rank 5 enchantments, but it takes 6.3 of them to make a rank 7; therefore, a rank 7 enchantment is worth 5.5*6.3=34.8 rank 5 enchantments. In this way, the entire table may be filled out.

The refinement system was introduced in Module 2: Shadowmantle as a replacement for the fusion system.

Epic Enchantments

Epic stones are ranked Lesser, "Normal", Greater and Perfect.

Shards are fragments of Epic stones that can be fused into Lesser stones when you have four of them.

Shards drop in Epic dungeons or from Campaign Chest at the end of a Sharandar dungeon lair. They drop as a Shard of _____. It takes four Shards of the same type to fuse into a Lesser ____ Enchantment. You can then fuse two of the "Lessers", a Greater Mark of Potency and numerous refinement points into a "Normal", then 2 "Normals" etc. (with 2 Greater Marks of Potency) into a "Greater" and finally 2 "Greaters" etc. into a "Perfect". Each of these upgrades has a very low chance of success: 1% to fuse 4 Shards into a Lesser for example.

Both Weapon and Armor enchantments have a specific symbol that is shared with the shards. All Armor enchantments have a square outer border while all Weapon enchantments have a diamond border.

Note: Save AD/Zen/Tarmalune Trade Bars for the [Coalescent Ward], this ward guarantees a 100% successful upgrade attempt.

Weapon Enchantments

Weapon enchantments grant special effects and powers not covered by the standard enchantments. They are used in high level equipment with a weapon enchantment slot.

Notes:

  • All of the enchantments/runestones that come from lockboxes don't follow the exact same pattern as enchantments that use shards, they always come in a usable format:
    • The Plague Fire Enchantment (from the Nightmare Lockbox) comes as lesser, and does not have a perfect rank. This is also confirmed via the Game Files.
    • The Bronzewood Enchantment (from the Feywild Lockbox or Dark Forest Lockbox) lowest version is normal, it does not have a lesser rank. This is also confirmed via the Game Files.
    • The lockbox runestones: Indomitable (Nightmare Lockbox) and Serene (Feywild Lockbox) come as a lesser and thus do not have a perfect rank. This is also confirmed via the Game Files.
  • Normals have no prefix in-game but the prefix Normal is used here to differentiate between ranks of stones and avoid confusion.
  • Shards for the Terror Enchantment come from Sharandar Campaign Chests of Gnarlroot Caves.
  • Shards for the Feytouched Enchantment come from Sharandar Campaign Chests of The Witch Fen.
  • All Enchantment bonus damage is in % of Weapon Damage (as shown in the tooltip on the weapon), not the damage dealt with At-Will/Encounter/Daily Powers.
  • The debuff from the Terror Enchantment lasts for 5 seconds.

  • Shards for the Elven Battle Enchantment come from Sharandar Campaign Chests of Tower of Celadaine.
  • The Soulforged Enchantment revive you direct from down. If you go down while this enchantment is on Cooldown, you fall like you do without the enchantment. It revive you from dead too if you have the revive sickness, but you get injured. This injury is maybe a bug.

Strategy/Notes

OBSOLETE AFTER MODULE 2. MOST OF WHAT IS WRITTEN BELOW ISN'T EVEN REMOTELY TRUE ANYMORE.

Up to lvl 35 you will only find lots rank 1,2 and a few 3 Runestones. If you collect all Skill nodes you find you will be able to fuse to a handful of rank 4 now. The stones take a lot of space in bags so just sell of all 1 and don't feel guilty about it if you need the space. You can generally find enough rank 2/3 to continuously slot your randomly found equipment while still building up a supply to save. You will upgrade equip regularly so just Enchant whatever you have at the moment with free slots and sell it 5-10 lvls later without unbinding. Remember that you also can buy good high rank runestones at Auction House quite cheap if you don't want to drag around stones waiting to fuse them.

Up to lvl 45 you still only find lvl 2 and 3 mostly and occasionally some rare 4.

At level 60 in epic dungeons you'll find a fairly even mix of rank 3s and 4s. Rank 5 never drop anywhere in the game except from non-repeatable quests rewards, very rare chance as Coffer of Wonderous Augmentation reward and lock boxes which require zen to open. Thus 99% of what makes up rank 5 and higher are fusion of rank 4s. Due to this:

Due to this it's generally wise to slot your first set of decent gear with only rank 4/5s, while saving up to eventually slot 7-9s depending on your patience. (PVP gear was generally the easiest and best to get first but with the advent of Seal/Glory/Grym Coin items being Bind on Pickup, this may no longer be valid for non PVPers.)
