Introduction

  A new Dweomercraft system is being developed, changing the enchants from a probability outcome towards a buy point system. Removing the option to 5% Hard enchant items from the previous system.

This page contains all the information available so far. The previous system information can be found at: Dweomercraft

Dweomercraft, formerly called Enchantment, is a way to customize existing items. Various properties can be added ranging from skill or attribute bonuses to weight reductions.

Dweomercraft is done using an Dweomercraft Pool (a fixture created with Smithing or Art Crafting). There are also several basins around the server in typical locations for crafts, magic or religion. Place the item you want to enhance into the basin and close the container. You will be presented with a NUI window with a few scrolldowns a button.

Dweomercrafting costs gold per point that is based on the power of the property being added and the remaining capacity determined by the character level, Dweomercraft Tier and if it the item is runed. This gold starts out low but can get very high as the power of items increase.

The UI

Once interacting with the Dweomercraft Pool the following NUI interface will appear:

To start enchanting an item: 

1) Choose a property from the drop down menu.
2) Check the Point cost from the property and how many points the item allows.
3) Press the button "Add properties to the preparation list.
4) Repeats the above steps until all the properties to add are selected.
5) Press the button "Apply properties"

The section in the middle will show all the properties the item has before the enchant and the points they are taking.
The section in the right will show all the properties that where added in the preparation stage and their gold / point cost.

Dweomercraft Tiers

Dweomercraft skill is measured in three Tiers which are gained by taking certain classes and feats. Maximum Dweomercraft Tier is level dependent and can go up to 3.

The bonuses for each Tier and the level requirements are the following:

Tier Total Bonus capacity Required Level
1 +2 0
2 +4 12
3 +6 21

Dweomercrafting Tiers are classified as either Magic or Mundane, depending on how they were attained. Magic and Mundane Tiers are separate and do not stack.

Magic Dweomercrafting

One Magic Tier is gained for each of the following:

Palemaster, Harper and Zhentarim levels are added to their primary class. For example, Bard PMs get tiers from bard levels not Wizard levels.

Mundane Dweomercrafting

One Mundane Tier is gained for each of the following:

  • Skill Focus or Epic Skill Focus feats in Craft Mastery.
  • +1 Tier each time the total skill ranks invested in Craft Mastery reach 10, 20, and 30. Hard skill only, this means it excludes Craft Mastery added through equipment
  • Improved Dweomercrafting feat.
  • Forge Domain (Cleric)

You can see which tier your character is by using the -date console command in the chat box.

Examples:

  • A Druid at level 24 has 24 primary caster levels, so qualifies for Dweomercrafting Tier II (magic). If the Druid also took Brew Potion that would qualify them for Tier III (magic).
  • A Wizard at level 24 has 24 primary caster levels, and also got Scribe Scroll automatically at level 1, so qualifies for Dweomercrafting Tier III (magic).
  • A Fighter (or other mundane character) with three feats (Skill Focus: Craft Mastery, Epic Skill Focus: Craft Mastery and Improved Dweomercraft) qualifies for Dweomercrafting Tier III (magic & mundane).
  • A Cleric 10/Druid 14 has 24 total primary caster levels, so qualifies for Dweomercrafting Tier II (magic).
  • A Ranger 20/Bard 8 has 28 total hybrid caster levels, so qualifies for Dweomercrafting Tier II (magic). Picking up one Crafting Feat (say, Craft Wand or Skill Focus: Craft Mastery) would grant that character Tier III (magic).
  • A character with Skill Focus: Craft Mastery and Epic Skill Focus: Craft Mastery qualifies for Dweomercrafting Tier II (magic & mundane).
  • A Druid 10/Bard 20 has 10 primary caster levels and 20 hybrid caster levels, so does not qualify for any Dweomercrafting Tiers.

Runic Items

Items with Runes attached allow Dweomercrafters to increase the item point capacity.

Thorass runes can be worked with by any crafter. This includes crafted runes that can be manually applied to items. Some runes, though, are in specific languages and only apply their bonus capacity points to Dweomercrafters who are fluent in that language.

When placing a rune on an item to create a Crafted Runic item the placer can choose the rune language by having the language active when the rune is applied.

Items that are found already Runed, called "Naturally Runic" item have an increased chance of being in specific languages instead of Thorass. These languages from common to rare are: Elven, Dwarven, Draconic, Infernal, Abyssal, Celestial.

  • Crafted Runic Items: Items that have had a Crafted Rune added to the item.
  • Naturally Runic Items: Items that have the runic property when dropped or as a crafted property when the item is created.

The amount of points a rune increases the item capacity depends on the Rune Tier and if the item is Naturally Runic.

Rune Tier Crafted Runic Naturally Runic
1 - Inscribed 2 4
2 - Flickering 4 6
3 - Glowing 6 8

Runic Scripts

Runes on items are described by their script rather than the language used when making them.

  • Inscribing with Dwarven, Gnome, Giant, etc -> results in Dethek rune.
  • Inscribing with Abyssal or Infernal -> results in Infernal rune.

Full list: 

THORASS: Common, Undercommon
FIENDISH: Abyssal, Infernal, Gnoll
CELESTIAL: Celestial
IOKHARIC: Draconic, Auran, Ignan
DETHEK: Dwarven, Gnome, Goblin, Orcish, Giant, Terran
ESPRUAR: Elven, Halfling, Xanalress, Sylvan, Aquan
IMASKARI: Roushoum
DRUIDIC: Druidic

Potential Enhancements

A full and specific list of enhancements is found by placing the item in a basin. The option are the following alongside their point cost and their Gold Cost Base.

Point Cap

All items have limit point capacity that varies by the Character level (Which caps at level 20), Dweomercrafter Tier (Table bellow assumes max tier at each level) , and the Tier Rune if the item has one.

The points are calculated as:

  • 4 points per 4 character levels, up to level 20.
  • 2 points per tier of Dweomercraft (magic or mundane), up to 6 at Tier 3.
  • 2 points per Tier of Crafted Runic on them, with a bonus of +2 if the Rune was Naturally Runic.

This gives a maximum of 32 points for items with a player placed rune or 34 for Naturally Runic items.

Names and Ownership

Items are considered "owned" by their creator or the last character to add a property with Dweomercrafting. "Owned" items can be renamed and have their description changed at no cost or chance of failure by using the basin or appropriate crafting workstation. To take ownership of an item in this way, it is common to add a low-cost enhancement such as 20% weight reduction or Light. Most found items will need to be enhanced in this way for their name to be changed.

Items may also be edited in this way by having the owner add a name in [] brackets. Factions can be set to own items using the faction name in {} brackets. Partial names work, too. Adding [all] to the name will allow anyone to edit it in this way.
