Common 9 400 XP 7
Uncommon 11 800 XP 7
Rare 23 2,500 XP 7
Epic 17 5,000 XP 7

Mythical 11 200,000 XP 7

Dust System

The dust system provides a way to boost your enchant success rates and recycle unwanted books. Understanding how dust works is essential to efficient enchanting.

Secret Dust

Obtained by salvaging enchant books using /salvage. Each book yields 1 Secret Dust, which is then revealed as one of two types:

  • 50% chance: Failed Dust (junk — no use)
  • 50% chance: Magic Dust (useful — boosts success chance)

Magic Dust

Apply Magic Dust to an enchant book before using it to increase its success chance. Higher-tier Magic Dust provides bigger boosts.

  • Adds +1–20% success chance when applied to an enchant book
  • Higher tier dust gives bigger boosts
  • Can only be applied once per book

Black Scroll

A powerful extraction tool that removes a random enchant from a piece of gear and returns it as an enchant book.

  • Extracts a random enchant from the targeted gear
  • Returns the enchant as a usable book
  • The gear permanently loses that enchant

Warning

Black Scrolls extract a random enchant — you cannot choose which one. Use them carefully, especially on gear with many valuable enchants.

Forge (/forge)

The Forge lets you merge dust or books to create higher-tier versions. Combine lower-tier materials to upgrade them into more powerful options.

  • Merge dust to create higher-tier Magic Dust
  • Combine enchant books for upgraded versions
  • Essential for progressing into Legendary and Mythical enchants

Mythical Enchants

Mythical enchants are upgrades of existing lower-tier enchants, not standalone enchants. You must have the base version first and evolve it through the Forge system.

How Custom Enchants Work in Combat

Understanding when and how enchants trigger is critical for building effective PvP and PvE loadouts.

Trigger Type When It Fires Examples
Attack When you hit an enemy Spark, Bleed, Cleave, Lifesteal
Defense When you are hit Dodge, Ward, Providence
Kill When you kill a player or mob Decapitation, Devour

Key Combat Mechanics

  • Silence: One of the most powerful PvP enchants. When it procs, it temporarily disables your opponent's armor enchant effects, shutting down their defensive enchants like Dodge and Providence.
  • Bleed: A damage-over-time effect that stacks additively. Multiple Bleed procs compound, dealing increasing damage. Bleed clears on death or when the duration expires.
  • Phoenix: Triggers automatically on death, reviving you with a portion of your health. Has a cooldown to prevent abuse.

Tips

Getting Started

Start with Common and Uncommon enchants. They are cheap, effective, and let you learn the system without risking expensive materials.

  • Save Magic Dust for Epic+ books. Lower-tier books are cheap to replace if they fail, but Epic and above represent a significant XP investment. Always dust those books before applying.
  • Black Scrolls are valuable. Use them carefully to extract specific enchants you want to move between gear pieces. Remember: extraction is random, so the more enchants on an item, the lower your odds of getting the one you want.
  • Silence is king in PvP. It can shut down an opponent's entire defensive enchant setup. If you PvP seriously, prioritize getting Silence on your weapon.
  • Max 7 enchants per item. You cannot remove an enchant to make room for another (without a Black Scroll), so plan your enchant loadout before you start applying books.
  • Use the Forge. Merging lower-tier dust and books through /forge is the most efficient path to high-tier enchants, especially for free-to-play progression.

Warning

Failed enchant applications consume the book. There is no way to recover a failed book. Always check the success percentage and apply Magic Dust before using expensive enchant books.
