Since my old guide was written almost 2 years ago decided that a little update is in order.

[SIZE="5"]Enchanting[/SIZE]

[Image: http://i51.tinypic.com/30lfapz.png]

So you've decided to take up enchanting. It's a Great skill with incredible benefits. It can also be very, very frustrating.

[SIZE="5"]Before you start :[/SIZE]

Please read this excellant guide about how the skill works in itself.

My guide is for how to rank enchanting.

Enchanting success rates are based on intelligence with a maximum rate at 200 int.

Because of that you should try to get 200 int BEFORE you start this skill.

1. Musical Knowledge R 4-+60 Int 21 AP

2. Composing Rank 5- + 55 int 45 AP

3. Firebolt R1 - +52 int 109 AP

4. Icebolt r1- +52 int 92 AP

5. Campfire R 8- 0 You need this, trust me. Not optional. 11 AP

You should also be in the mage Destiny while ranking the enchant for a delicious 2x exp towards ranking the skill.
Here are a list of items you need to make ranking this skill easier.

Holywater - try to stock about 100-500 of these at a time. you'll go through them fast.

Mana herbs- same as Holywater (it is recommended to have your homestead full of these while you are ranking)

Sunlight herbs- This is for entrusting of burns. Good to have about 3-4 stacks around at all times. (Handy to have a few patches on your homestead)

Tents- Save yourself time and effort. Setup a tent. Fire never goes out :D.

Tailoring kits- 1x1 space and great for using and reburning.

Fireball Collection book finished to page 4.

Brionac - This is recommended for those painful ranks - Using brionic to train enchant costs 8 AP per use (2 dura) and will train 10% of any category that you have ranked to a minimum of 30% of its completion.

Now that your familiar your ready to start.

Ok first lets discuss the top methods for getting enchants to use.

1. Alby normal - you get 1 enchant in a endchest on every run. Sometimes you get 3 mana herbs or an enchant powder.

2. Fiodh Inter - This dungeon drops a ton of page 5/6 fireball. You can enchant them into the book over and over again using an enchant powder.

3. Buying Alby enchants- These can be purchased for 7-10k per enchant at this time. If you find somebody who wants to do this for you it is key to treat them well and pay them promptly, sometimes give them nice extras (dyes, extra weapons, invite them to a elite mission for levels etc). Running Alby is boring as heck and if you find a good runner they are worth thier weight.

[SIZE="6"]Pro tip 1[/SIZE]

For ranks F-->9 you need failures for extra experience. If you pot poisen yourself all the way down to 0 intelligence using HP 30's you should have no problems getting the failures done.

[SIZE="5"]It is a good idea to be buying Holywater and mana herbs this entire time. You will need 1,000's later.[/SIZE]

[SIZE="5"]Rank Novice[/SIZE]

Equip enchant powder...win lol.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[SIZE="5"]Rank F[/SIZE]

1. Run Alby normal 15 times
2. Enchant those onto tailor kits and save in bank for later.

Chances are with 0 int from pot poisening you have enough experience to rank. If not burn a couple kits and you should have enough then.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[SIZE="5"]Rank E[/SIZE]

1. Run Alby normal 25-35 times
2. Enchant those onto tailor kits and save in bank for later. With luck you should have enough credit to rank. If not do a few burns until its rankable. Make sure you are pot poisening for fails and huge fails.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[SIZE="5"]Rank D[/SIZE]

1. Run Alby normal 63 times
2. Enchant those onto tailor kits and save in bank for later. Not really concerned with fails at this rank but it never hurts to do them. You should have quite a nice collection of tailoring kits in bank now.
3. Start collecting Holy water in mass. You want to have nearly a whole bank tab of them ready for later.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[SIZE="5"]Rank C[/SIZE]

1. Run Alby normal 100 times (yes this seems like alot but you'll thank me at r8)
2. Enchant those onto tailor kits and save in bank for later.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[SIZE="5"]Rank B[/SIZE]

1. Run Alby normal 240 times (this is a good time to start hiring alby runners)
2. Enchant those onto tailor kits and save in bank for later. Make sure you are pot poisening and you should have no problems getting the experience to rank.

If you do not have the bank space having a friend log into an alt account to store them into is helpful.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[SIZE="5"]Rank A[/SIZE]

1. Run Alby normal 500 times (hopefully by this time you have several dedicated runners)
2. Enchant those onto tailor kits and save in bank for later. Make sure you are pot poisening and you should have no problems getting the experience to rank.

At this point you may consider buying fireball pages but having 1000+ enchant kits (and once you hit rank 9 that shuold be approximately what you have) will help you blow through rank 8. Which is generally considered a pain to do. And if you follow this guide you won't have to waiste ap on rank 8.

[SIZE="5"]It is a good idea to be buying Holywater and mana herbs this entire time. You will need 1,000's later.[/SIZE]
Keep on truckin! :skip:

[SIZE="5"]Rank 9[/SIZE]

After Rank A this is much easier.

1. Run Alby normal 200 times (or hire...I would be advertising for runners constantly at this point)
2. Save those in the bank.
3. Pre-pare for rank 8 by having 1500 holywaters and mana herbs stored (yes storage space for this skill has been beastly so far. Once your past Rank 8 it will be better.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[SIZE="5"]Rank 8 AKA Hell Rank[/SIZE]

Fortunately for you Mage Destiny gives 2x training experience. When I first did this rank it was a pain and cost well over 10 million gold (and money was tighter back then...20k dye amps and such)

Since you were smart and have rank 8 Campfire you have a 48% burn rate.

Here is the best way to do this. Buy a Camp kit from the cash shop. Make sure you are in the channel and location that you want to be (preferably near a bank, camp kits can only be used on Uladh also).

Then start burning all the kits. I prefer to do 10 at a time.

Burn and re-enchant on another kit then reburn until all the kits are gone. Go to the bank (or pets) and get 10 more and start again. I put my tent near ferghus in tir because Nora is close and sells tailoring kits. Your going to make her rich. From this rank on having your tent here in tir is great because your alby runners can deliver enchants straight to you and you can buy and store kits easily.

After around 400-500 successful burns (which means over 1000 kits burnt) you should have enough experience to rank.

Take a minute and breath cause standing in a tent for hours on end burning kits will drive you nuts. And in the near future you will be living in them. Invite friends to come play music and things while you burn or just to hang out.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[SIZE="5"]Rank 7[/SIZE]

1. Burn and enchant from any leftover kits that you had in rank 8.
2. Your going to run alby (or buy scrolls) for 167 scrolls. Enchant onto kits. Burn and re-enchant. You should have enough experience to rank. DON'T FORGET TO POT POISEN WHILE ENCHANTING to get the fails.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[SIZE="5"]Rank 6[/SIZE]

Rank 6 is pretty identical to rank 7 with a slight reduction in Great successes but an increase in burn success.

1. Your going to run alby (or buy scrolls) for 160 scrolls. Enchant onto kits. Burn and re-enchant. You should have enough experience to rank. DON'T FORGET TO POT POISEN WHILE ENCHANTING to get the fails.

Congratz, You made it to a pivital rank. Rank 5. Now you can enchant and burn all those high rank scrolls all by yourself. Many people stop here and are satisfied. However for those super rare enchant burns your going to want to continue.

:bath:

Welcome to the home stretch. Its a long one.

[SIZE="5"]Rank 5 [/SIZE]

Once you have gotten to rank 5 you no longer get credits for fails. No more pot poisening and now is a good time to start buying fireball pages as well as enchants. Alby normal is still your bread and butter since you can burn and reburn but it doesn't have to be your only source.

1. Run Alby or buy 225 enchant scrolls. Burn and re-enchant (alternatively you can buy 500 fireball pages 5/6 which saves you using 275 holywater and mana herbs)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[SIZE="5"]Rank 4 [/SIZE]

Rank 4 is identical to rank 5 except you get a nice 4% boost in burn rate.

1. Run Alby or buy 215 enchant scrolls. Burn and re-enchant (alternatively you can buy 500 fireball pages 5/6 which saves you using 285 holywater and mana herbs)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[SIZE="5"]Rank 3 [/SIZE]

Rank 3 has a big spike in difficulty.

1. Run Alby or buy 550 enchant scrolls. Burn and re-enchant (alternatively you can buy 1365 fireball pages 5/6 which saves you using 815 holywater and mana herbs)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[SIZE="5"]Rank 2 [/SIZE]

Rank 2 is a pain in the butt. Great successes are lowered by alot but...this is it almost there, don't give up now.

1. Run Alby or buy 600 enchant scrolls. Burn and re-enchant (alternatively you can buy 1600 fireball pages 5/6 which saves you using 1000 holywater and mana herbs)

Now you can rank to r1!!!! Enjoy your 76% burn rate (81% with finest wood)

:2thumb::awesome::2thumb::awesome::2thumb::awesome:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[SIZE="5"]Rank 1 [/SIZE]

Ok so your rank 1 and you want the master title...I dunno why since it wont increase your burn or enchant success rate but if you do here is how.

Great successes occur about every 10-15% of enchants.

Can't use brionic so your stuck with doing the whole thing:
EXP Count Total
Get a success : .02 8000 160
Get a great Success: .03 2000 60

1. Run Alby or buy 4000 enchant scrolls. Burn and re-enchant (alternatively you can buy 10,000 fireball pages 5/6 which saves you using 6000 holywater and mana herbs)

Have fun with that. I have been r1 for almost 2 years now and still only 30% done with all of that.

Iunno if people would do enchanting at low Int or whatsoever, but if someone's Int doesn't hit 200+, Claudius Conspiracy is a good idea. Seems easier to do failures from the earlier letter ranks with lower Int, anyways. =s

Looking forward to this! Enchant is one of the last magic skills I need. :(

You can also abuse a Rank1 Burner for easy training.
All you need is alot of enchanted/Clean kits, Holy water and Mana herbs.
Hand him/her the enchanted kits, herbs and waters and have a Rank8 Fire set up for them then they mass burn all the kits and then drop the scrolls on the ground. After your done enchanting the clean kits hand them to your burner with more herbs and water.

This is a great way to save time and money(Be nice enough to pay/tip your burner).

Time to abuse Zy when im done with my alchemy tab. >>

Ailyene wrote on 2011-09-07 08:49

Nice new guide, but I thought you needed 30% of training for a certain skill requirement to use brionac. Like you would need 900 successes out of 3000 for rank 4, not 300 successes.
